In raising this most cont roversial subject, Dr Lie was greeted with loud applause. "I cannot fail to draw the AB- sembly's attention to the Spanish question arising out of the existence of the Faacist regime which was imposed on the Spanish people with armed intervention of the Axis Powers," he said.
