The main issue is whether or not Francisco Franco's servitude to Adolf Hitler could be broken. If it could not be broken by the efforts of the United Nations, then the policy they have pursued until now was utterly wrong. Franco's recent speech at Almeria, Spain offered definitive proof that the United Nations have been wrong. Franco came forth with his theory of stalemate. He bluntly proclaimed that the warring nations had "reached what may be called the dead point in the struggle. None of the belligerents has the power to destroy its opponent." He conveniently ignored the fact that under present circumstances anything less than complete victory for the United Nations would be a major victory for Hitler.
