BRITISH ARE SUSPICIOUS
SPAIN’S REPORTS ON AFRICA
HINTS OF ACTION IN MOROCCO
LOYALTY TO' VICHY IS QUESTIONED
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received September 25, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 24. The Spanish Press has intensified its attacks on the Vichy Government, declaring that it is unable to control its North African empire and hinting that Spain should step in because “it is called on to impose security both from the geographical and spiritual viewpoints.” The British authorities regard suspiciously Spanish reports concerning North Africa. The Spanish News Agency says that fresh reports from French Morocco show that support for General de Gaulle is increasing daily and is likely to be overwhelming sooner than expected. The loyalty of the Resident-General, General Nogues, to Marshal Petain is doubtful, particularly in view of the Air Force units being allowed sufficient liberty for many units to fly to Gibraltar to join Britain.
