Other signs that show the West might accept Spain in the Western Entinte, according to the dispatch, were:
Firstly, the recent extension of the Spanish-Portuguese treaty and Franco's planned vialt in October to Lisbon, where joint measures, in · case of war, will be discussed.
Secondly, the acknowledgment of the Prince of the Asturias Franco's official
