FRANCO’S IMPUDENCE
“CALL ON BELLIGERENTS TO SEEK PEACE” SAYS ULTIMATE DEADLOCK IS INEVITABLE. WASHINGTON NOT IMPRESSED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) LONDON, May 10. General Franco has called on the belligerent nations to seek peace. Forecasting a deadlock in the war, Franco, in a speech at Almeria, said: "Those of us serenely witnessing the struggle consider it senseless to delay peace. The world war has reached a point where neither belligerent group has power to destroy its opponent. There may be victories at great sacrifices, but sooner or later a deadlock will force the belligerents to listen to the voices callidng for peace—like those of Spain and the Vatican.” Cabling from Washington, the United Press says Franco’s peace suggestion met with the cool reception which greeted the earlier peace feelers from Europe. United States officials directed attention to the Casablanca pledge to demand an unconditional Axis surrender.
