LONDON, May 10.-What sort
of society would Insurgent Gen.
eraliSsimo Francisco Franco estab-
lish if he won the civil war in
SpainP This is the question most
frequently asked today, next to
the vital one Of will Franco
Win?"
Under the pSeudonym Of Major
Sanchez, one Of Frances officers
prominent in the movement will
testify to his own opinions. l
have listened to them for count
less hours, and this is q verbatim
report. He reiterated:
at is a race war, not merely
q class war"
"YOu don't understand be-
cause you don't realize that
there are two races in Spain
a slave race and q ruler race.
Those reds, from President
Azana to the anarchists, are all
slaves. II Is our duty to put
them back into their places
Yes, put chains ON them again
II you like"
Sanchez is q count, the seven
tenth in his line. He looks down
upon three.quarterS Of the Span
iSh nobility and even upon re.
cent kings as "jumped-up muck"
He is a landowner, but poor.
He lives in one Of the Oldest
castles in Spain. Pride Is his
principal asset. He has lived in
most of the chief countries OF
Europe, and speaks perfect Eng.
lish, French and German. He as
serted, automatically:
Modern sewer systems caused
this war. CertainIy-beCauSe un-
impeded natural selection would
have killed off most Of the red
vermin. The example Of Azana
Is . typical case. He might
have been carried off by infan-
tile paralysis. but he was saved
from it by these cursed sewers.
We've got to do away with
sewers.
'But what you absolutely re-
fuse to understand Is that this
war in Spain is only q sector Of
the mighty international con-
flict Of civilization against the
powers Of evil.
"The Reds are organized
underground throughout the
world. What you can't grasp Ii
what any stupid Democrats, 50
called, lend themselves blindly
to the ends Of Red revolution"
Sanchez was melancholy for
days after the American election
returned q Roosevelt landslide.
He said:
"All you Democrats are just
handmaidens of bOlShevislm.
Hitler is the only one who knows
. Red when he sees one"
Sanchez was furious when
Franco in November issued an
order to shoot only selected pris-
oners Of war, and not all as before.
The major declared this order
would lose the war. His favorite
exclamation was:
"Take 'em out and shoot 'em!"
On education, he declared:
"We must destroy this spawn
Of Red schools which the So
called republic installed to teach
the slaves to revolt. 1t is suffi-
cient for the masses to know
Just enough reading to under
stand orders.
1--WE must restore the author
fly Of the church. Slaves need 1t
to teach them to behave"
On the fate of reds, if his side
wins, Sanchez was eloquent:
eve are going to shoot $4,000
In Madrid. And no matter
where Azana and Largo Cabel-
IerO 1.-THE premier) and all that
crowd try to escape, we'll catch
them and kill every last man, If
Il takes years Of tracking them
thrOughOut the world"
