In a sense, of course, armaments guarantee that; or at least serve to protect the productive investments of

Leader of the
By C. R. ATTLEE Labour Party
N response to an invitation from the Spanish Govern- ment, I am going to pay a short visit, hardly more than a long week-end, to Spain.
With Ellen Wilkinson, Noel- Baker and John Dugdale I shall go to Barcelona, and shall en- 'deavour to seo as much as I can ́of the fighting line and of the country behind the line. I hope in the course of the journey to make contact in Parls with some of our French comrades.
There are many reasons why I am especially desirous of pay- ing this visit. In the first place, I believe that the visit of one who holds the position of Leader of the Labour Party will help to assuro the Spanish people of the active sympathy of the Labour Movement in this country, and of our desire to do everything we can to help them in their great fight for democracy, liberty and social justice..
T
AKING to them a message of sympathy I shall be expressing not only the feelings of the Labour and Socialist Movement, but of many outside our ranks who believe in democracy and freedom and realise that the Spanish people are fighting not only against . reactionary Spanish elements, but against world forces which threaten also British freedom.
The.actions of the British Gov- ernment through the long farce of non-intervention have led to a feeling in Spain that the official spokesmen of Great Britain, despite all their professions of devotion to democracy, if not aclu- ally hostile, are at least indiffer- ent to the rights of the people of Spain and their lawful Govern- ment.

members of
the British Cabinet con- tinually speak as if there were equality of status between the Spanish Government and General Franco.
They talk of holding, the scales between the contending even parties, although they know per- fectly well that on the one, side is a democratically elected goy- ernment, and on the other a col- lection of reactionary elements under a rebel general, supported by the scarcely veiled aggression of foreign dictators,

In the second place, I want to see for myself the actual condi- tions in Spain. I want to meet the members of the Government and others who are currying the re- sponsibility of directing the war and maintaining the home front.
There is an intense propaganda, backed obviously by large funds, directed against the leaders of the Spanish people. They are repre- sented being wild extremists This is cer- and. irresponsible. tainly untrue of those whom I have

I want to get a first-hand knowledge of the situation from the military point of view and also of the economic position. Above all, I want to see as much as pos- sible of the men and women who are engaged in the struggle.
My colleagues who have visited Spain, such as Will Dobble, Ernest Thurtle, and David Grenfell, have told me of the splendid spirit of self-sacrifice and enthusiasm that animates the Spanish people. I want to experience myself the atmosphere of Spain.
I want to gauge the morale of

British public opinion, as the Gay- ernment in general and Mr. Eden in particular conceives it, Imagines that after Franco's victory British interests will be protected, that Spain will move towards a Conservative polley, with the monarchy restored und normal rela- tions with other countries, resumed. If only the Spanish people were con- cerned this might be so.

For the Spaniards will count no longer. The future of Spain will not be decided by them alone. Logically. the decision will rest with the real vic- tors, Italy and Germany; and, what- ever Mr. Eden says, the future Govern- ment of Spain will inevitably support these Powers in their anti-British policy.
