Postscript on Spain

This article focuses on the demand of loan by the U.S. Senators for the economic aid of the dictator of Spain Francisco Franco. There is nothing mysterious about the way the Franco regime administers the country, nothing that could not be discovered by an intelligent U.S. visitor or correspondent. How can anyone even consider making a loan to a government which spends close to a billion dollars to keep itself going and has less than half this sum left for the country's other needs? That is the question which every non-Falangist Spaniard asks himself when he hears that certain U.S. Senators and Representatives and a few American newspapers advocate using American taxpayers' money to finance a regime which is the negation of all that U.S. professes to stand for.
