Franco blamed the United States for much of the present world attitude towards his country. He rebuked the United States for a fickle attitude and stated that promises made during the war by the late President Roosevelt had not been lived up to so far.

The head of the Spanish Government further stated: "Since the end of the Second World War there has been inspired from abroad a feeling of suspicion and coolness among the Spanish people towards the American nation as a result of the lack of consideration and unjust treatment which Spain has been suffering for over two years under the guidance of the United States."
