S3J
The author of this book was made
chief of propaganda analysis for the
Once of Inter- American Affairs
shortly after the war opened and in
1914 he was attached to the Ameri-
can Embassy in Madrid as an official
of the Office of War Information
His book attempts to present a COM
prehensive picture of Franco Spain
six years after Frances victory.
Taking up in turn industry. agri-
culture, education, religion and civil
rights Mr.. Plenn reiterates of each
field that the Caudillo'S regime is
one of ruin and corruption, aimed
at nothing except maintaining the
Falange group in power under a
medieval system of rule The exc
cution without trial of political pris-
onerS goes on apace~ and recent
promises of the establishment Of
democratic liberties are lying propa
ganda. A vigorous resistance move
ment is getting under way. The re-
suit may we'll be another civil war,
as ferocious and costly as the first.
Mr.. Plenn gives chapter to crit
icizing American policy toward
Franco Spain, concentrating on for
mer Ambassador Hayes whom he
holds to have been a consummate
"appeaser" in the worst sense of
that word. He takes issue with the
statement. made in the Ambassa-
doris recent book, that the Franco
victory represented the will of the
majority of the Spanish people, say
ing that not more than Is, or even
possibly per cent of the population
had sympathy for the Nationalist
cause. He blames Mr. Hayes, by i'm
plication, for carrying out his am
bassadorial function in accordance
with American policy. His attitude
is that the Republicans merited
sympathy and that American Of
ficials should therefore have ex-
tended sympathy to them, regardless
of State Department policy. He says
that he took that line himself and
has been made to suffer for it. He
goes to some length describing the
prosecutions which have been
heaped on him since his return
to this country.
He ends by warning his readers
that Spain is already serving as the
breeding ground for Germany's
third attempt to conquer the world.
