Nozi Diplomacy Seen Busy in Spain
Germans Said Be Gaining Ground in Paving Way for Assault
On Gibraltar Though Franco Fovors Terms With Britain

of French Morocco. Gen. Maxine
Weygand told visitor last Novem-
ber that he had enough military
power at his disposal to resist them.
But, if involved in such a campaign,
he could hardly interfere as eff
GENTLY as he did last October with
the policy Of So-called Franco-Ger-
man cooperation, rescued this time
by Pierre-Etienne Flandin, Marshal
Petain's new Foreign Minister, from
the heritage of M. Laval.
Playing France OFF Against Spain.
At first sight 1t would appear that
the Madrid government ought to be
less inclined to draw closer to Ger
many whenever told that the Vichy
government has stolen march in
that direction. Isn't it obvious that
Germany, if she succeeded in drag
ging Vichy into her new European
order" could not give Spain as freely
of the Moroccan domain of France
as she would in the opposite case?
But the question must also be seen
from another angle To be pushed
in the background and be left there
helples and empty-handed; such is
the fear of the Spanish leaders. II
sways them directly they family per-
ceive that France and the Nazi en-
pire are about to improve their re-
lations. And it is a comparatively
easy matter for those men to ascer-
tain the truth on that point.
They only have to look at what
passes on between Sir Samuel Hoare
and his French colleague, NJ Fran.
co.'s Pistri who. between them
command the main channel left Il
the British and French government;
to communicate. 1t is a fair in.
ference that any prospect Of
Franco-German agreement quickly
puts the Spaniards on the alert anc
urges them to fall in with Hitler's
request. 1t is up to Germany tc
play off France and Spain against
each other.

of adequate retorts. They strive
once more to induce the Japanese
to 20 forward in the direction of
Singapore and the Dutch Indies.
They steadily try to stop King
Boris attempts to check the in
filtrations of their technical troops.
But, for the time being, Spain
looms larger on the German chess
board than any other country and
practical results seem more likely
to be obtained there than else
where. For several months the
Germans have carried an empty
bag in the peninsula Competent
observers foretell that it may be
filled pretty soon. The setting up
of an assault on Gibraltar is the
object.
Franco Favors Terms With Britain.
Since April, 1910. Gen Francisco
Franco and a fraction Of his general
staff have stood for a policy Of
aloofness. Gen. Franco Is credited
with a sincere wish to come to terms
with Great Britain. For that pur-
pose last spring a significant mes
sage was delivered to Viscount Hall
fax through the Duke OF Alba and
negotiations of a political and eco
nomic nature went on lnte"n.t entity
afterward and were never discon-
tinued
Lately it was learned that Sir
Samuel Hoare, the British AmbasSa-
dor to Madrid, had given to the
Spanish dictator the formal assur-
ance that at the close of the war

land who stood meticulously neutral
and aloof until the Nazis caught
them unaWares. Nobody can fore
tell the future and answer any ques-
ton definitely or conclusively. The
making of national policy under
such circumstances places different
burden on those who hold the re-
sponSibility of office than on those
who hold no power. The slogan
which then becomes realistic is the
oft-spoken warning: 1T is better
to be safe than sorry" President
Roosevelt may be proved wrong in
his belief that America Is in danger
but he would rather be proved wrong
after having given weapons to a
victorious Britain than to be proved
right if Britain collapSes because
America withheld 100 per cent as
sistance. That's the nubbins of his
! foreign policy today, and with him
will be cast a majority of the votes
of both houses of Congress.
Another question-this of do
mestic characters raised by to-
days events. Is this the beginning
of series of third-term efforts and
inaugurations? Are American Presi-
| dents who serve two terms going to
consider themselves eligible now for
three terms and, possessing the
nominating machinery of their
party, are We to have three nomina-

the problem of Gibraltar would be
taken up and solved in keeping
with the Spanish claim. AS to the
forcible establishment of Spanish
rule in Tangier, the truth is that
last summer British and French.
acting, of course, independent of
each other, rather favored the ini-
tiative of Madrid as they were
equally afraid lest Italy should
jump at the opportunity Of getting
a foothold in that key position.
Eventually they were disappoint-
ed because they had entertained the
hope that under the new authori-
ties some relics of the international
constitution, once the outcome of
the Algeciras conference, would be
allowed to survive But the con-
troversy between the British and
Spanish foreign Offices never took a
really bitter turn. To spare British
feelings and interests a cogent argu-
ment is available TO Gen. Franco.
His subjects are starving and their
plight would become worse if on top
OF all conceivable miseries they had
to withstand the impact of the
British blockade.
Reason for German Gains.
How then can We account for the
fact that the Germans are gaining
ground in Madrid? Gen. Franco is
a weak man. He has to reckon with
the Falangist element. with his own
minister OF foreign affairs and
brother-in-law, Serano Suner, with
such out and out Germanophiles
as Mr.. Lequerica, the Ambassador to
Vichy, etc He must adapt himself
occasionally, to the requirements
and the threats of nationalist DEM
agogy.
A short while ago the representa-
tives of Germany were not sure
that they could carry out their
undertakings without having brought
about beforehand the downfall of
the dictator and the advent of a
new government. Today, rightly or
wrongly. they think they need not
bother with that preliminary condi-
tiCn.
1t is not only as an approach to
Gibraltar that the Iberic Peninsula
can be of great help to Germany
