“MUST STAND BY FRANCO”
ITALIAN JOURNAL’S STATEMENT LONDON, Bth February. The Rome correspondent of “The Times” says that the newspapers make no comment editorially on the possibility of an improvement in AngloItalian relations, thus suggesting scepticism regarding the agreement. This impression is confirmed by Sigonr Gayda, who, in a front-page article in the “Giornale d’ltalia,” has four columns purporting to show that France is pouring men and material into Spain to help the Republicans. Every line of the article is an argument for the maintenance of Italian support for General Franco. The Milan “Ambrosiana,” which is in close association with official circles, expresses the opinion regarding Mr Anthony Eden’s speech that “we must stand by General Franco. The only means of ensuring Mediterranean security is to give General Franco full belligerent rights.”
