Immediate protest was made by residents of Tampa’s Latin |quarter, who point out that the old Spanish colors are those used today by the rebels of the battle fields of Spain and contend that} ‘the use of that flag or even the | colors in connection with the) Tampa celebration would be re-| sented by all Latins sympathetic | with the Loyalists and most of} the Latin population of Tampa! ,and Cuba as well as other Latin | American countries are in sym- pathy with the Loyalists. | Desiring tg make the pageant as realistic and accurate as pos-| sible in every detail, the commit- | | tee with plans in charge is in a} No decision has yet been made, | but officials have explained to} | With the Exposition or the page- jant would be symbolic of the Spain of 400 years ago and would |situation that exists in Spain to- | day.
