Long Memories ..[
- A. If. I were a Spaniard I would
not wish to live under his govern
ment. But it seems to me that he
must be very grateful to the
French government in. particular
for having given him a new lease
on life. The Spaniards are proud,
norose people with long memo
ries. Their memories even 60 back
to the peninsular war against
Napoleon.
They do not like to have their
affairs dictated to them by a for
eign power. I am sorry the French
government should have yielded
to Communist pressure and picked
quarrel with Spain. Left to them
selves the Spaniards will develop
increasingly liberal regimes. More
over. 1t must not be forgotten that
Spain has recently had a most
deadly and devastating civil war.
Even the extreme left-wing ele-
nents In Spain do not wish 10
renew the carnage which mas
stricken almost every nome m
Spain. The underlying feeling, IN
Spain is that too much blood mas
been shed already in internal quar-
rels and that it would be better TO
try and have a little peace an ana
life and even prosperity. the
Standards will not thank foreigners
for telling them that they ought to
revolt again, especially when inc
foreigners assure them that they
do not mean to interfere 1aein-
selves.
Doesn't Like Communism
@. I suppose we may take it,
Mr.. Churchill, that you are still all
opponent of international com
munism?
A. I have never been able to get
to like it very much. We must not
forget that all the communists IN
the world would have seen England
sunk forever beneath the waves by
Hitler's Germany, and that 1t was
only when Soviet Russia was at
tackled that they put themselves IN
line with the modern world. l al
WAYS admire the bravery and pa
triotism of the Russian armies IN
defending their own soil, when It
was invaded by Hitler's legions. l
have the greatest regard for the
Russian people with all their VIZ
tues. courage and comradeshlp.
But I made it clear in my broad
cast of June %, 1871, that my sup
port of Russia in no way weakened
my opposition to communism
which means in fact the death OF
the soul of man. II.
Stronger Relationship
@. How would the .fraternal as
ISOLATION you suggest between the
United States and Great Britain
differ. from the relationships now
existing between those two ma
tons? T.. ~.
A. Only by becoming stronger,
more intimate, more effective ana
more mutually conscious.
| @. Have you any message to give
the United States on your de-
parture?
A. The United States must
realize it's power and its virtue. 1t
must pursue consistently the great
themes and principles which have
made it the land of the free. All
the world is looking to American
democracy for resolute guidance, II
IL could sum it up in q phrase l
would say, DREAD Nought, Amer
! ica." ~.
@, What do you say about Great
Britain and the British Common
wealth and empire?
| A. The underlying unities which
prevail among us are such as to
make us unconquerable. But We
may have much to endure.
