REBEL MARCH

CHECKED

Meets Unexpectedly Strong Resistance

FRANCO CERTAIN OF EVENTUAL VICTORY

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

Valladolid, Oct. 14.

General Francisco Franco, the rebel commander-in-chief and designated dictator of "New Spain" when his armies shall have finally crushed the Leftist Government, to-day confessed that he was meeting obstacles in his advance on Madrid which exceeded his and his lieutenants' expectations.

The Government forces were resisting strongly, aided by the rugged terrain over which the rebel armies must march to the attack. However, the general is still certain of victory.

Once Madrid is captured Spain will resume her traditional role in foreign affairs, said General Franco. Spain, he said, was desirous of preserving friendly relations with all nations, particularly those of kindred tongues and ideas.

In this, the first interview since be was made dictator, General Franco discussed the Soviet protest to the Non-Intervention Committee, which, charged that Fascists had been alding, said this! the Spanish rebels. He move was merely to encourage the Communists in Madrid, saying: "Ouri enemies there need verpal encourage- meat"free" their foreign-friends.

General that is noteworthy Franco readily consented to be inter- fact that he in viewed, despite the working from 10 to 18 hours a day.

He promised that a Rightist victory in the civil war would lead to im- provements. "We will go as far ng is humanly possible. with God's help," he said.

LORD MARLEY DISCUSSES PACIFIC SITUATION

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH”)

Chicago, Oct. 14.

Lord Marley, Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, appealing for close Anglo-American under- 'standing and co-operation to prevent a war in the Pacific, told the Association of Commerce to-day that Japanese leaders were determined to spread their influence into more Pacific islands.

He said the Japanese Navy, intellectuals and industrialists favour that method of promoting "dreams. of greater empire."

Japan's recent repudiation of the Washington Naval Treaty and the ratios contained in it indicated her activities in the direction of expansion, declared Lord Marley, as did her fortification of the mandated islands in the Pacific.

Japanese activity in the Philippines was increasing, he went on, and Australia and the Dutch East Indies would be taken in her next stride. The only real bar to her ambition was the fear of common action by the United States, Canada and the British Commonwealth, he asserted.
