SPAIN DENIES RIGHTS

Since 1916, when the United Nations
passed a resolution calling upon it's mem-
bers to withdraw ambassadors from
Madrid, Spain, there has been consider
able agitation in this country for a renew
al of diplomatic relations with the gov
ernment of Dictator Franco.
Critics of the Governments policy TO-
ward Spain have pointed out that this
country keeps an Ambassador in Russia
although not in harmony with the Com
munist attitude upon many issues. Conse-
quently, the argument is that the sending
OF an Ambassador to Spain would not
amount to any undue recognition of the
alleged totaltarian regime
Recently, Secretary of State Acheson
took occasion>to re-state the position of
this country, saying that the countries of
Western Europe are opposed to bringing
Spain into the international family for
military and economic cooperation because
the Franco regime violates fundamental
freedom along the pattern set by Naz Ger
many and Fascist Italy.
Admitting that the sending OF an Am
bassador was not important in itself, the
Secretary of State pointed out that it
had become symbol Consequently, the
United States was working and hoping
for restoration of basic civil rights by
Generalissimo Franco so that Spain could
be welcomed back to the family of West
ern nations but, he confessed, he sees no
progress In that diraction
In specific terms the Secretary Of
State said that Spain denies writs of
habeas corpus, trial by jury, religious
liberty and free association These rights,
he emphasizes, make the difference be-
tween free European and Iron Curtain
countries
The Secretary Of State also took occa-
sion to deny that opposition to full recog-
milton of Spain, in the United Nations in
1916, was because Spain was Catholic
country, declaring that the charge was
"poppycock."

~~ The astronomer estimates that there
are twenty-five billion cosric twins Ply

untenable.

ECONOMY MINDED

The Citizen is not aware whether or
not any of its readers think that we publish
too many editorials about the nations
ponderous tax burden. Should any of them
be of the opinion that The Citizen rechrs
to the subject of taxation too often, we ad-
wise them to cast an eye toward Washing
ton, where congress for the first time in
many moon, has become economy con-
scious. Readers may be sure that that con-
seriousness has been brought about by
thousands of letters and telegrafns that
have been sent to congressman, protesting
against the extravagaft trend that has
been going on In Washington since the end
Of the second World war.
The latest move toward thfiftifiess oc-
cured iii washington on Tuesday when
the 1fotise Of Representatives. killed the
bill that would have boosted the salaries Of
the nations military men. HAD that bill
become law, 1t would have pulled $4O6
million lii additional money out 81 taxpay-
efs' pockets.
1t was termed surprise ffiove'' when
the House. by vote Of g27 to iSs, sent the
measure back to the Armed Services Com,
fnittee, which, in effect kills the bin.
But while congress Is now thinking in
terms Of economy, President Truman is still
insistent in increasing the burden Of taxa
tion the people now are groaning under.
Before the House made the surprise
move" the President had urged passage of
the bill.
Southerners have their own repre-
sentatives, with the exception of out-and-
out administrator members of congress, to
thank for the wave of economy that is
rising in both the Senate and the House.
Southern Democrats, in instance after I'M
stance, have joined Republicans in helping
to cut down the federal governments
enormous expenditures.
