SPAIN ACCUSED
OPENLY AIDING AXIS S. AMERICAN ACTIVITIES STRINGING ALLIES ON (2.40 p.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Spain is offering promises of continued neutrality .and increasing cooperation with the United States while simultaneously thrusting the pro-Axis knife deeper into the back of South America, says the Montevideo correspondent of the newspaper P.M. General Franco is merely a puppet acting on Herr Hitler’s orders. Spanish agents are ' carrying out Nazi instructions in South America. No Latin American country has. yet broken diplomatic relations with Spain, leaving General Franco’s representatives under the cloak of diplomatic immunity free to assist the Axis. Some of the United 'States’ good neighbours, particularly Uruguay, Cuba and Mexico ai‘e becoming fed up with Spanish actions, blit hesitate to move in face of the British-American tendency to string along with General Franco. Many Latin Americans under-rate Spanish influence and the effort which is just what Dr. Goebbeld wants.
Spanish ships are arriving regularly, untroubled by submarines, bringing more and more diplomatic aides, fifth columnists and plenty of propaganda.
