Our Franco Policy Is Still Confused

ton suspicion that Stain wants
Franco to remain in power so
that the Soviets can keep that
particular propaganda whip in
their hand.
There is, of course, the be-
lief that Moscow's long-run
military strategy is to keep
Spain out of the Western
European camp in case of war.
Spain could be a help to either
side.,
It is this military angle which
has prompted most Americans
who are now asking that Spain
be taken. into the Western
European family. Further, there
is the group that argues it is
ridiculous to deal with a die
tator like Stain and ignore a
dictator like Franco.
The State Department would
like to see both the pros and
the antis-both here and in the
U. N.-forget the debate. It
prefers to see Franco treated
with neither friendship nor
enmity.
Trading Normal
This is because every time a
U. N. debate on Spain starts
Franco finds new support at
home, and the underground
democratic movements in the
nation-there are such-tem-
porarily lose strength.
Meanwhile, United States
trading relations with Spain are
normal. Spain has had one
private American bank loan,
which is we'll secured. How
ever. government experts point
out that Spain's exports have
been dropping and it's business
is so hamstrungs with govern
ment regulations that the ma
ton would be a poor risk for
much further loans or invest
ments.

In 1947 the Soviets wanted
the U. N. to "reaffirm" the
1946 vote. The United States
alone of all the major powers,
opposed the move and beat the
Russians because many small
nations voted with the United
States. However, the 1916
resolution on Spain still stands.
The State Department would
prefer to send an Ambassador
to MadNd, but it will wait U. N.
agreement to do so and so far
has no intention of taking a
leading U. N. role on either side
of the question.
Neishbors Still Bitter
Secretary Acheson has said
that Spain's European neigh
bors must be respected in their
wishes. and for the most part
Spain's European neighbors are
still bitter over Frances course
during the war.
The State Department will
continue to press, in Madrid,
for a slow evolution of the
Spanish government toward the
sort of democratic freedoms
which would make the nation
acceptable as a member of the
various European groupings of
free nations: The Marshall Plan,
the North Atlantic pact and the
military aid program.
State Department experts
now think that Moscow has led
the fight against, Franco not
because the Russians disap-
prove of dictatorship but be-
cause they guessed Washington
would take a moderate course.
So Moscow could claim, and
does. that the United States
supports Fascists.

lem because of the shortages of
nitrogenous fertilizers and the
lack of mechanization. Plans
have been drawn up to double
the present million hectares of
irrigated land, but progress in
this direction has been slow.
Exports Undeveloped
Added to problems of inf1a-
ton, black marketing, and basic
shortages of food, the lack of
materials and equipment, eco
nomic nationalism and the de-
clining efficiency of transport
have hampered economic recov-
cry. The development of Spain's
traditional exports has been
held up because of the failure
of industry to revive.
Spain's railways face complete
breakdown. The lack of iron
and steel is a bottleneck. Tech

United States will throw him a

Acheson has said that Spain is

will come from those who agree

Reserve Fund Grows
Since adoption of experience

saved more than $42.0O0,00O in
contributions, Mr. Wharton esti-
mates. In 1948 alone those saw

ployers paid at a uniform rate of
3 per cent of their payrolls. A
fiat rate of 2.7 per cent prevailed
from 1910 to July 1. 1943. From
1914 through 1948 the average en-
ployer contribution rate remained
about 5 per cent.

Bankrupt Spain Looks to u. S. for Help

Generalissimo Francisco
Franco holds two high cards in
the international diplomatic
poker game.
One is Spain's strategic loca-
ton as a continental base in
case of war. The other is firm
control of the country through
his grip on the armed forces and
police.
Ten years after the end of
the disastrous civil war, Spain
is still struggling to repair the
damage to her economy wrought
by three-and-a-half years of
strife. Agriculture, industry
and transport have deteriorated
dangerously. AS a result, Franco
is reported looking for wheat
and economic help from any,
body, even his old enemy Russia.
Wheat Scarce
Once a prosperous paradise
for 40,000.000 people, Spain is
now virtually bankrupt. Most
of her 100000 people are
ragged and hungry. Neglect,
ignorance, despotism and cor
ruption have left their mark
through the centuries.
Soil erosion, resulting when
forests were cut down and
Evening star., 1950-02-05

Because various groups of
Americans feel so strongly about
Francisco frances dictatorship
in Spain there is much con-
fusion about official American
policy.
Some groups would have
Franco sealed off from world
affairs until he is forced out.
Others would bring Spain into
Western European plans imme-
diately to shore up European
military security against pos
sible Russian invasion.
Both groups are impatient for
immediate action. This may be
the most important reason for
misunderstanding of the State
Departments course, which de-
mands both time and patience.
Secretary of State Acheson
has outlined official policy
twice, once to the press, and
most recently to Congress,
through letters to the chair
men of the Senate and House
committees for foreign rela-
tions.
To the press he said, Spain
has a long way to go before it
can become a member of the
family of free nations of West
ern Europe" He cited Spain's
lack of the freedoms of speech,
assembly and the press; it's lack
OF habeaS corpus proceedings,
trial by jury and religious lib
erty.
Wants Ambassador
But until these changes have
taken place in Spanish civil life
the State Department neverthe-
less would like to have an AM
bassador in Madrid. Such top
ranking diplomats were with
drawn after a United Nations
vote in 1916.
Under diplomatic rules only
Ambassadors can gain swift
hearing from the heads of gov
ernments. The State Depart
rnent would like an American
Ambassador in Madrid who
might, slowly. convince leading
Spaniards it is to their benefit
and the Nations good to adopt
Western democratic freedoms.
The State Department thinks
persuasion might work. ANY,
way, it believes the only changes
of lasting value will be the ones
Spafiards make themselves.
Earned Lots of Dollars
Technically Franco remained
a neutral through the war, but
the State Department has issued
a record of his dealings with
Hitler and Mussolini.
Spain had raw materials i'm
portant to war, minerals needed
for both steel and explosives,
as well as hides and wool.
Franco sold them to the Ger
mans until the United States
and Britain stepped in and out
bought the Axis.
When the United Nations was
set up at San Francisco in the
early summer of 1945, Spain was
not invited, although other war

voted to bar the nation from

Franco stayed in power.
A month later, at PotSdam,

Became u. ~. Issue
Since early 1946, when the
United Nations met for the first
time, the Soviets and their
satellites have kept up a con-
slant campaign to cut Spain off
from other nations.
Poland's demand that Spain
be cut off by an economic boy
colt from U. N. member ma
tions, started one of the U. MS
most complicated debates.
It led to a final assembly vote
in December. 1916, which %
bars Spain from membership in
U. N. agencies, (2) gives the
U. N, Security Council power to
act if a democratic Spanish
government is not set up in rea-
sonable time and 90 withdrew
top-ranking diplomats from
Madrid.
The United States opposed
these moves because the U. N.
Charter does not permit the
world organization to force any
form of government on any ma
ton. It simply permits action
against a nation which threat
ems the peace. A U. N. subcon-
mittee reported that Spain was
too weak to threaten the peace.
However. the United States
complied with the U. N. vote,
and has had no Ambassador in

TWO ways of overcoming this slide threat have been suggested, Ghiplione said. One is to relocate the highway, to go behind the hill and away from the river, and an- other is to build trestle so that mud and snow will slide under the road instead of on top of it.
 Culverts were tried to drain away the sediment, he sad, but they clog with sand and are intellectual. Cost of relocation would be about s80 900 mile, or approximately s50O.O00 for the new road, he esti- mated. Of course, all cost would have to be borne by Canada, except for a minor stretch inside the US. border, amounting to about a half mile.
 With the Jack Wade road to be completed this summer, to allow traffic to enter the Alaska Highway from Dawson, there has been con- siderable speculation that Canada will work toward keeping the Haines Cutoff open all winter. Only major obstacle is this slide area, and the pass itself, which poses only the problem of snow removal.

JUNEAU MAN BOOSTER FOR WORLD CHAMPION
 SKATERS FROM SEATTLE

When the Kennedy Kids of Se- attle, making their third bid for worlds pairs figure skating cham pionship, skated out on the ice in London, England, Monday, one man in Juneau was especially interested in the outcome.
 Mel Hollis, night bartender at the Elks Club here, is a cousin of
 the skating pair-18-year-old Karol
 and 21-year- -old Peter Kennedy. He
 had wished them luck when they
 visited their grandparents in Shel- ton, Wash, just before they left for London.
 Were they excited? NO. It was old stuff for them" Hollis said today. They've been skating since they were youngsters, and they knew all the competition pretty well after two tries for the worlds title"
 Guess it's a pretty tough grind becoming a champion ice-skater. Tt sure is" said Hollis, who ar rived in Juneau from Shelton last Thursday. They used to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning so they could skate before they went to school. They couldn't get the whole
 rink to themselves any other time.
 And they needed all of the rink
 to practice"
 They worked pretty hard. That's right. They were busy skating and trying to make up
 the school they miss while compet- ing. Peters going to the University
 of Washington now. He's quiet. But quite a hot-rod fan. He's

 And the future? Hollis has con-

 take some great skating to get the
 championship away from them. 7"

JUNEAU TEAM SET FOR ALL-ALASKA
 HOOP TITLE MATCH

After proving itself the best in Southeast Alaska, the Juneau High School basketball team returned to Juneau from Ketchikan aboard the Baranof early this morning, ready to tangle with Alaska's Railbelt champions.
 The Crimson Bears cinched the Southeast Alaska Championship by winning two games against Ket- chikan High School in the Coast Guard gymnasium Thursday and Friday
 Team members were welcomed back by an hour-long assembly in the high school gymnasium this morning while school officials wor- ried over the problem of getting Seward High Schools Railbelt Championship basketball team to Juneau for the All-Alaska Cham pionship play-off.
 Financial problems are blocking final arrangements for the big play off, Superintendent of Schools Ster- ling s. Sears said
 I've kept the telegraph wires hot since Saturday." he said. '"The last offer was sent this morning. If they accept, the games should be played early next week.
 Thursday the Juneau High School team had swamped Ketchikan 54 to 33 in the first game. Ketchjkan blamed the floor, saying it was larger than the one they had been used to. But even after Ketchikan's first night conditioner the Juneau Crimson Bears came back to take the second game and the series, 45 to 40.
