SPAIN SETS HER PRICE

FROM

R. M. MacCOLL

Washington.

THE negotiations through which America had hoped for months past to receive promises of air and naval bases in Spain havó struck a two-fold snag.'"

Spain now says that her price for the bases is:

1. A guarantee of im- mediate and all-out Ameri- can aid if Spain should be attacked by Russia.

2. Inclusion of Spain in America's Mutual Security Aid programme on a basis of complete equality with all the other nations now receiving American help in money and arms.

The Spaniards have be come impatient over the prolonged silence which has greeted these demanda in Washington. And they are complaining that Truman has decided to do nothing "'because It is an election year."

This accusation misses the mark. What has given the Americans pause is the tremendous cost of re- equipping and modernising the Spanish armed forces- an undertaking that would reach a total of thousands of millions of dollars. This in the view of both the Pentagon and State Depart- ment, would be unreason- able. What America wants to do, as she told.
