« For Debt
Diselaiming
AUSTIN —For husbands want
ing to disclaim debts contracted
by their estranged wives, Univer
sity of Texas librarians think
they have as good a model as can
be found.
Printed in a newspaper of 1830
it says:
“ . . . she has, without cause,
0 left my habitation and is floating
on the ocean of tyrannical extra
vagance, prone to prodigality, tak
ing a wild goose chase and kind
ling her pipa with the coal of
euriousity.
“To abscond and abolish such
insidious, clandestine, noxious,
pernicious, diabolical and notor
ious deportment, I therefore cau
tion all persons from harboring
or trusting her on my account,
as I will pay no debts of her eon
* trading from this date, unless
compelled by law.”
Berlin complains that the Unit
ed States is violating internation
al law. That’s the first indication
we’ve had that they knew ther
was such a thing.

CAREER DIPLOMATS BUNGLE
JOB IN SPAIN, MAKING NAZI
PUPPET, FRANCO DICTATOR
By Drew Pearson
and Robert S. Allen
WASHINGTON. May 26—Wha.
most, worries the State Depart
ment today is the fact that Hit
ler is poised over Spain, can
shoot down to the Straits of Gib
raltar. thence to French West
Africa. From there it is a short
hop to Brazil and South America.
In oth r words, Spain — the
mother country of most of South
America —is the real spearhead
of Nazi attack and influence
among our Good Neighbors. This
was deliberately planned by Hit
ler as long as six years ago, and
the results of this far-sighted
policy are now b ginning to bear
luscious fruit.
The Marquis de Aguiar, agent
of Catholic groups in Spain and
certainly no Communist, this
i week gave eloquent testimony of
this fact. Already Hitler has twel
ve divisions in Spain, the Mar
quis said, and has sent four ship
loaded with munitions to Nazi
sympathizers in Latin America.
General Franco, whom the
State Department career boys
helped install as Spanish dictat
or,. signed a secret agreement
with Hitler on October 8. 1938 by
which G rmany took over Spain.
However, according to the Mar
quis da Aguiar, Hitler found it
more expedient to use Spain as
a blind to get everything passible
out of the United States. So, for
the time b ing, Fascist Spain was
instructed to be neutral.
Falangists in Cuba
Real fact is that Spain is no
mi re neutral than Fiance. Today
Spanish Falangists are operating
throughout Latin America, even
next door in Cuba. The Falan
gists have started a tremendous
movement to take that island
back to the mother country —
Spain.
Obviously if Spain did win a
! foot-hold in Cuba, the island
; would become equivalent to
Crete, only nearer, in serving as
' J a stepping-stone, for invasion ol
^ the United States.
.1
Meanwhile, wealthy Mrs. Alex
ander Weddell, wife of the Unit
ed States Ambassador to Spain,
i donated an orphanage to the wo
men’s auxiliary of the Falangists,
arch-enemies of the USA — a
: gift which the Madrid press cred
1 ited to the German Ambassador.
This was not half as bad, how
, ever, as the shortsightedness of
certain State Department officials
who helped put a puppet of Hit
ler’s into power in Spain.
For instance, when civil war
broke in Spain, in 1936, it made
no difference to the State Depart
ment’s car er clique that General
Franco had consulted with Musso
lini before he began his revolu
tion. Joseph C. Green, head of
the State Department’s Munitions
Control Board, went ahead and
urged U. S. munitions dealers not
to sell arms to the established
government of Spain to protect
itself against the revolutionary
agents of Hitler and Mussolini.
Also, the State Department
career boys did their best to keep
the Spanish Ambassador from see
ing the President of the United
States; so that he was only able
to get to the White House
through such a roundabtu' chan
ncl as the then S cretarv of Agri
culture. Henry Wallace. When he
Hid see the President, Ambassa
dor do los Rio.s warned him —
even as early as 19-)fi — that if
the «eed= of Fascism were plant
ed in Rr*ain. the mo'her country,
‘hev were sure to sprout :n Latin
America, a warning which th°
oarer hoys regretfully remember
five years lat r.
Munitions Maneuvers
When the SDnoish revolution
fir;* broke, iq law prevented the
shipping of munitions to the Span
ish Government. But Secret a rv
Hull'5 good friend from T nnrs
see. Representative McReynolds.
immediately introduced a bill.
and all the forces of the United
States Government wer brought
to prevent a shipload of muni
tions from sailing on the Spanish
steamship Mar Cantahrieo until
Mr. McReynolds could get his
bill through Congress.
Customs officials pried open
packages on the ship at the last
minute to delay her. Army othe
rs held up the ship’s departure
until 32 cast-off field kitchens
had the words “U. S. Army"
painted out.
Then as the vessel sailed out
of New York harbor, the Coast
Guard cutter Icarus steamed
alongside ready to stop the ship
Ihe moment tb: law was passed
by Congress.
The Coast Guard even ordered
the Mar Cantahrieo to heave to
1 at the last minute to serve a writ
on behalf of two disgruntled Am
erican fliers who claim d they
had not been paid by the Span
ish Government.
All these handicaps were
, thrown in the path of a govern
ment which was trying to combat
Hitler and whose defeat has to
day put Hitler in a start gie posi
tion for a hop to South America.
IT. S. A. Wakes Up
Some time later American pub
lie opinion and various branches
of the U. S. Government began
to realize their mistake. But not
l the career boys. Not even in
1938—two years later—-had they
learned their lesson (This did not
j apply to Under Secretary of State
Sumner Welles who has been op
pos.d to the Spanish Fascists.)
By that time however Presi
dent Roosevelt had. And he in
dicated to friends of the Spanish
Government that even though
the now amended neutrality act
prohibit.d the shipment of arms
to help the Spanish Government,
nevertheless arms could be ship
ped to France or any other sov
ereign state, and that sovereign
state had a right to send arms
wb ver she wished, with no ques
tions asked by the United States.
So the Spanish Government,
acting on this information, sent
a routine cable asking the State
Department if such a transaction
was all right. And the career
boys apparently double-crossing
tb? White House cabled peremp
tory demands that any munitions
shipments to France be stopped.
Later, Greece ordered and paid
for 22 Bellanca training ships in
tended for transshipment to
Spain. But again Mr. Joseph C.
Green sent a peremptory cable
stopping the shipment.

A man in New York is said to
earn part of his living recover
ing copies of "Mein Kanipf" with
-kunk skin. Well, it’s an ill wind
that blows nobody good.
Finally Turkey ordered 50 Gru
mman pursuit planes from Can
ada This time the United States
was not directly involved. If Tur
key vvanted the transfer th se
planes to Spain, presumably it
was the business of Canada, not
the United States. However, the
sleuthing Mr. Green found that
some of the parts us d in these
Grumman planes were sent from
the United States to Canada, so
once again he played directly in
to the hands of Hitler by stopping
the shipment.
