Head of Catholic Diocese Ob~erves Anniversary Day

: SOUTHERN CROSS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1947 ·Eminent Jurist Confirms Bishop's

"It purposely hides the fact, as I our Ambassador to Spain has stated, that Franco kept open the Mediterranean Sea so that the Al- lies could invade Africa, that he gave free transit through Spain to thousands of volunteers for ser- vice with our armed forces; that he freed hundreds of American aviators forced to land in Spain, and returned to the United States all secret equipment from planes grounded in Spanish territory. The. White Paper omits to say that he blacklisted Spanish firms doing business with the Axis, but per- mitted the sale of American pro- paganda magazines, that he grant- ed the United States control of all passenger traffic by sea and air between Spain and Morocco, and arranged for the escape to Spain of numbers of Jews from Nazi ter- ritory; that he assisted our secret service in obtaining information about German troop movements in France; that he expelled the Ger- man consulate staff at Tangier, but authorized the use of Barce- lona as a free port of -entry for our supplies for France, and gave , transit and landing rights in Spain for American airlines and army planes. Vital Omissions "Entirely ignoring that fact that Ritler wrote to Mussolini as early as Dece~ber 31, 1940, stating 'Spain ••• refuses to collaborate with the Axis Powers' • • • the White Book fails to say that while Russia still remained on friendly terms with Japan, giving the Jap- anese control of the weather sta- tion on Kamchatka Peninsula, so that they might harass American . forces in Alaska, Francisco Franco, now condemned by the Bible- burners and God-haters of Moscow and their representatives in Amer- I !ca, broke off relations with Japan to help America and the Allies. "When you remember that, for the conquest of• the world, Gib- raltar must first be secured, you can understand who is most anx- ious to destroy Spain. These sub- sidized writers and radio slander- ers, while lauding Stalin, the worst murderer the world has known, ancient or modern, would have you believe that Franco is some sort of cruel despot, as they shriek their cries for revenge against the man who restored order to Spain

Christmas Statement Throughout the United States one authority after another has seconded the declaration ma de by the Most Reverend Bishop of San Diego in both his Christmas broad- casts in reference to the United Nations and the Spanish question. The latest pronouncement comes from the Hon. Clare Gerald Fen- erty, Judge of the Court of Com- mon Pleas of Pennsylvania, who lashed at the United Nations for its subservience to Russia in its attacks on Spain, and urged an in- ' vestigation of the Department ot State in an address before 2,000 persons meeting under the aus- / pices of t~e Catholic Women's club of Syracuse, N. Y. In his address, Judge Fenerty said: "There fortunately seems now to be a growing determination in the State Department and other of- fices of the government into which . Communists have penetrated in a desire to destroy America from : withi~. If such a policy ~esuits in/ 1 ex~~smg to the light of public : op1mon the innumerable reports- , hidden in government piegonholes in Washington- on Communistic · activities in the various nations of ,· Europe and in this country it will have served a most patri~tic and useful purpose. For twelve years the State Department has been infested with anti-God and anti-American Communists. ~he "Free Election." in Pola~d You can see their hand in the fact that our government urges Russia to hold a free election in Poland and, at the same time, con- tributes millions of dollars to the Red Russian puppet government in Warsaw to assist the Communist aliens in holding an unfree elec- tion. You can see it as well in the carefully prepared so-called 'White Paper on Spain' which is an at- tempt to blacken the 'spanish peo- ple and to undermine their govern- ment. "To the shame of our govern- ment, it must be said that the 'White Paper' is as black a tissue of lies and half-truths as has ever been issued in an effort to deceive the public.
