SPANISH VISIT TO BERLIN
State “Momentarily Non-Belligerent” SENOR SUNER RECEIVED BY HITLER (Received September 19, 7.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 17 ; The Spanish Minister of the Interior (Senor Serrano Suner) has arrived in Berlin as the head of a mission of Spanish military, political and economic experts. Senor Suner was received by Herr Hitler. He had previously had an interview with Dr Robert Ley, head of the German Labour Front. The Times correspondent on the German frontier says that Senor Suner, interviewed after talks with Hitler and the Foreign Minister (Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop) declared: “Spain is only momentarily non-bel-ligerent. General Franco will personally decide when to abandon aloofness.”
Germany is making much of Senor Suner’s visit, which, it is declared, coincides with Germany’s final settlement with Britain. The Voelkischer Beobachter states: “Spain has taken up a position leaving no doubt of her foreign aims.”
Britain and Spain have reached an agreement under which Spain will limit her oil imports to a quantity sufficient for domestic consumption. The agreement is regarded as highly satisfactory.
