FRANCO'S SPAIN SIR,—May we offer our most sincere thanks to you for publishing the well-documented and sympathetic article by Mr. Gilmour regarding conditions in Spain under the Franco regime?
We Spanish Socialists residing in the UK fully appreciate your efforts in calling the attention of liberal and democratic opinion in this country to the outrageous political situation now prevailing in Spain. It is hoped that the rest of the world will eventually decide that to keep Franco in power is not only morally indecent, but also that from a practical point of view the very permanence of Franco in power does not benefit the Western world at all.
We are fully aware that as refugees we must not intervene in politics. However, we love our country and must, therefore, express our great disappoint- ment in connection with Mr. Eisenhower's announced visit to Spain. Perhaps President Eisenhower has de- cided that only Franco can guarantee the large American military installations in Spain in exchange for keeping a proud and great people under one of the most brutal dictatorships the world has ever known. Well, sir, we submit that 30,000,000 Spaniards deserve a better fate.—Yours faithfully, CLEMENTE GARCIA President. London Group, Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol en el Exilio 29 Mornington Crescent, NW!
