SPANISH GOVERNMENT
A BELATED SUGGESTION WAR AGAINST JAPAN (Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, Mar 20. General Franco’s Government, whose policy continues to be inspired by plain expediency, is flying a kite, says The Times diplomatic correspondent, referring to the, suggestion from Madrid that Spain might declare war on Japan. “This report was put out mainly for American consumption. There have’ recently been indications that General Franco is trying to curry favour with the Americans. It is scarcely to be expected that the Washington State Department will be unduly impressed by the twelfth-hour decision to declare war on Japan, now facing defeat.”
