Report From Europe

State Senator Harry F. Byrd,
jr., of Virginia, editor and pub
fisher of the Winchester Star.
has Just returned from an
automobile trip through seperaL
countries of Europe. He has
authorized The Star to reprint
the following article giping
some OF his impressions OF
Spain.
MADRID, Spain.-"There is
no opportunity for revolution
in Russia; the people are used
to serfdom, are trained to re-
spect the terror Of the police
state"
This is the view of SPANS
chief Of state, Francisco
Franco.
The generalissimo, wearing
the white uniform of COM
mander in chief of Spain's
armed forces. talked with this
writer for more than an hour
at the magnificent Prado Pal
ace on the outskirts Of Madrid.
Gen. Franco Is bitterly anti
Communist. He led the revolt
against the government in
1895 because. he said, it was
being taken over by the Com
munists.

lowed in which Stain helped

sizes, in oblique reply to re-
quests for higher wages, that
there is an equation between
salaries and prices that cannot
be altered" Labor is the
cheapest commodity in Spain.
Although she has important
coal and iron deposits, and a
supply of mercury, her natural
resources are meager. Indus
trially, her. activities are con-
fined largely to textiles and
chemicals.
But agriculturally her po-
tentialitieS are considerable.
Despite her Anticipated meth

ally no modern equipment, she
is able to get good production

the United States 6 million:
her production of potatoes Is
20 per cent of that Of the
United States; she raises
about as many sheep as does
the United States and ranks
ninth in the world production
Of wheat.
The civil war. (1936-l939)
bled Spain white: Is years
later she Is far from having
recovered. The government
has been stabilized. thanks to
Franco. but much Of the de-
struction remains - and the
memory of the horrors Of the
war years is vivid. One i'm

the Communists.
The Catholic Church plays
a vital role in Spanish affairs,
and is the only recognized re-

Protestant is difficult.
The church. along with the
army and the Falange Party.
Is the backbone Of Frances
power. Many believe that the
fatal error the Communists
made in 1886 was tackling
both the church and the army.
Had they fought only one
leaving the other for q later
date-some observers believe
Franco would never have

In Spain there is no such
