REMARKABLE phenomenon in present world affairs is that three years-after the downfall of Hitler, we still


have a country in Europe run by Its own Hitler. Franco m Spain continues to represent in his own person all thp powers that be in that country. And so far as the onlookey from a distance! can see, there seems hardly an inclination^ to say Wthing of a likelihood, of dislodging him.; ,


Nevertheless, appearances


may well be deceptive. The opposite, number to Nazi or Fascist dictatorship Is the totalitarianism Of Commun­


, Communism thrives best when the people are already disgruntled and In chains, despite the fact that a trium­ phant Communism wo u l d me a n only a change of prisons, not the! re-establlsh- liient of liberty.
