Spain Conspiring With CARGO THROWN Axis: Offer Of Help In

Developments in North Africa rather than plans for an "attack on Gibraltar seem to be the more probable reasons for the, darusion which Ramon Serrano Suner, Spanish Minister of the Interfor, opened with Italian and German leaders. writes J. W. T. Mason, in the Manilla Bulletin

Spain's formal entry into the war is not to be expected, but Germany and Italy might well desire Spanish forces In North Africa to restrain any révolt against the Vichy government by French North African colonials. Negotiations in this connection! are probably now under way, with Suner bargaining for territorial payments to Spain in return for Spanish help if needed,

Generalissimo Francisco Franco can see much less difficulty in co-operating with Germany and Italy in north Africa, than in risking domestic impoverishment through going to war against Bri- tain over Gibraltar.

PORTUGAL'S POSITION "Portugal, Britain's oldest ally may be forced to the axis orbit it Spain enters the war and attacks Gibraltar.

"Brazil was once a Fortuguese colony, while the remainder of Latin America, except for a few spots. belonged to Spain. Thus the reported bargam is natural.

"The axis would help Spain to take Gibraltar to regain hoth inner and outer strength -the words of Diplopoliische Korrespondenz
