PAGE SIX ‘MARCH OF GENERAL FRANCO IS NOW BEING ANXIOUSLY WATCHED By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 7.—, Meads of governments all over the world are anxiously watching | General Francisco Franco’s| march to the sea and asking their; experts—confidentially—to guess the train of events in the wake of a final’ nationalist victory in Spain.” | The es are confidential because Jnié Yovernment is willing publicly to count other people’s chiékens before they're hatched. | run the country better than his % chief. 3 Franco would “pay back” Mussolini and Hitler for the many thousands of volunteers and the millions of dollars worth of equipment they have sent him. The Insurgent leader's first step in foreign policy might be to pro- claim the independence of Spain and emphasize her friendship for Naturally, the guessers don’t Germany and Italy. agree on details, but enough of | This presumably would bolster STARS AND BARS || ON U.

Russell, ac- cording to announcement made today by Mrs. Eva Warner, super- visor in charge of the park. New Senior Diamondball their opinions have leaked out in democratic capitals to make a composite of the scene after Franco wins—if he does. Possible Developments Here are four big developments the guessers expect in the wake of Insurgent success: 1, Methodical, red - sashed General Franco would scrap the seven-year-old republic that succeeded the Bourbon monarchy in 1931, and himself assume absolute control of “New Spain”. Franco has indicated he’s not set on any oné form of govern- ment, so long aS hé holds the reins. Most interpreters think, however, he probably favors res- toration of a Bourbon king as a veneer for his own dictatorship. 2. Firm suppression of r publican remnants. Since the world-flung Spanish empire crumbled 200-odd years ago, Spain’s history has been one page after another of intrigue and revolt. Her several classes range | from out-and-out royalists to an-j} archists who want as little Aa ernment .as possible, and that in. the hands of labor. In between are the militant Catholic party,’ the Masonic groups, socialists, | communists, and others, none of | which has much in common with the rest. Successful rulers of modern} Spain have been men who ruled: with an iron hand, like Dictator! Primo de Rivera who modernized | the country in the prosperous! seem to think those nations hold , of Identification. nineteen - twenties. If Franco would rule, he must suppress the! game with Mussolini and Hitler finger so-called “red” opposition, some the prestige of European dictator- ships by increasing their num- ber, but, for popular Spanish con- sumption, deny that Franco had traded Spain’s independence for Italian and German assistance in his war against the republic. Next Franco presumably would make economic concessions to the dictator nations, probably allow- ing them to exploit some of Spain’s natural resources, and throwing their way as much trade as a war-drained nation could give the “have-not” nations. Franco is expected to make se- cret military treaties with. Ger- many and Italy to cover eventu- alities in case of a general, Euro- pean war. He might permit troops to pass through Spain,and let Germany and Italy establish se- cret naval bases on Spain’s Med- iterranean coast. Such concessions would men- ace France in two ways. Troop passage would force her to patrol three borders—the Spanish, Ital- ian and German. Naval bases in the Spanish Mediterranean would threaten to cut off communica- tion with her north African colonie: 4, s the inevitable penalty of civil war, Franco would have to turn to an outside power to get money to re- habilitate his country and run his new government, and the natural spots for credit would be London and New York.

May Recruit Big Army Recruiting of a large native army is being considered, to be officered by the 15,000 French and native troops now stationed in the protectorate. Officials esti- mate that as many as 3,000,000 soldiers could be conscripted from the 20,000,000 residents. A big problem is converting the natives from undisciplined in- dividualists to useful members of an efficient fighting force.
