the phrase. Interests never lie"
In the similar condition Of in
ternational anarchy, which has
lasted for years, this ancient
principle has emerged, and is
now, at the climax of the war,
superceding all other considera-
tions, such as those OF theology.
The main interest of all the
smaller powers, not hitherto en-
gagged In the war, is to be Cd
associated with the winners, and
q to have something to say in
the eventual peace settlement.
All other special interests, for
instance the internal form of
government, are related to that
primary interest. If, for instance,
Franco, at the end Of the war, is
lined up with Germany he will
be unable to maintain his per-
sonal rule. He may be unable to
maintain 1t In any case, but his
only hope lies in not associating
his own prestige with the collapse
Of Hitler Germany.
Effect on Franco.
Added to that, the perennial
national interests of Spain, like
those Of Italy and Portugal, lie
with those nations who control
the sea lanes, while their cultural
and economic interests are tied
up with Latin America.
Franco, who is not one of our
brighter boys, might have seen
the real interests of Spain from
the beginning if his vision had
not been warped by Fascist ide-
ology. Actually. the fall of Mus
solini and its repercussions in his
own country have given him
pause.
Now that the Allies control the
mediterranean completely, that
the Badoglio government has de-
clared war on Germany, and that
Portugal has adopted an atti-
tude OF most benevolent neutral
ity toward the Allies, Spain has
had to shift from pro-Axis non
belligerency"-which was the ex-
act state of Italy at the BEGIN
ming of the war-to rigid neutral
ity.
The Italian, Spanish and
Portuguese actions have reac-
tions in the Argentine which finds
herself unable to maintain a pol
icy in conflict with the interests
OF the whole Latin world, old and
new.
That all these Latin countries.

other, pro-Fascist in their inter-

Finland Lone Hitler Victory.
Hitler has had only one such
triumph Of power. The only
democracy to have joined his
ranks, has been Finland. All the
other satellites, Hungary, Ru-
mania, Bulgaria, were totalitar-
ian or Standardization para

Joined him. Hitler has proved
unable to win over any. one Of
the old democracies, even in
their defeat, and even after 4
change Of government from 4
parliamentary system to 4 die
tatorship.
Whatever we may say against
Vichy, against Petain and Laval,
and that is plenty, the fact is
that even Laval, and at the very
climax Of Hitler's power, was
quite incapable of bringing
France into war against Britain.
There were plenty Of circum-
stances that should, theoretically,
have aided him: the Gripping OF
the French feet by the British,
with profound popular reactions;
the ceaseless bombing of French
towns; the British blockade
against starving France: and the
enormous pressure OF the Ger
man army and propaganda ma
chine on French soil.
Wanted France to Join.
Hitler wanted France to join
the Axis war. That was a reason
for allowing a French govern
ment to be set up and for leav-
ing part Of France unoccupied.

alities, for he could have put in
another stooge - for instance,
Doriot. But what he could not
overcome was popular resistance,
based only partly on theology,
and, perhaps more deeply, on a
long tradition and experience of
what constituted French in
terests.
The difference between Italy
and France is therefore startling.
Both were defeated, but the
French nation continued to op-
pose the Axis, setting limits to
any form Of collaboration. But
Fascist Italy, at the first mo-
ment when it was possible, ac-
tually joined the Allies.
Nor did it take a democratic
Italy to do this.

DR.. Ruehe said the industry rep
