Spain Will Keep
Independence
LONDON, Feb. 28 (JP)—Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain
read the House of Commons a
telegram from Franco asserting
that the newly recognized Span

would maitain its independence.
He read the message during a
bitter debate on whether Britain
should recognize the Nationalist
regime which Laborite opposi

by Italy and Germany.
Chamberlain also said that
General Franco had given the
British “assurances against gen

offenses.’’ Chamberlain defended
the recognition of Franco’s gov
ernment after Clement Attlee,
labor head, offered a motion of
censure accusing Chamberlain
of trying to pull a “smart trick.”
