By Joseph Newman London american dollars have gone to Generalissimo Francisco Franco s head. That is the most popular explanation Here of Spain s Sud Den outburst against great Britain in Gibraltar and France in Morocco. The recovery of Gibraltar which Britain seized 250 years ago and expansion in Morocco Are traditional nationalist ambitions in Spain. But Gen. Franco has been discreet about them until just recently. He held his Tongue when it was announced that the late King George i had visited Gibraltar in 1943, and again when plans were announced that the Mon Arch w Ould visit the Rock again in 1951. But the Generalissimo Jet Loose a torrent of abuse against the forthcoming visit of Queen Elizabeth h. Obviously something happened Between 1951 and 1954. And the first thing that occurs to britons to explain that something is the Spanish american Alliance. Under it the United states is supplying dollars to Spain in Exchange for air and naval bases. The British press has observed that since the defeat of its former allies nazi Germany and fascist Italy Spain has been internationally isolated and forced to re main on defensive. Then three things happened latin american countries championed the restoration of full diplomatic relations with Spain and its admission to the United nations. The nationalist arabs in Africa and the Middle East began look ing to Spain to support their claims against Britain and France. The United states concluded its defence agreement with Spain. These three actions above All the one by the United states ended the isolation of Spain and it is believed Here encouraged Gen. Franco to assert himself on the world stage.
