It was not that talking was forbidden; as a matter of fact I found most Spaniards to be quite talkative but they practiced in their own way what I was learning. That is that when it came to criticiz- ing the government in general and Franco in particular, you said as little as possible in public and not much more in public unless you knew to whom you were talking. This is not much different from any dictatorship but never having lived in one before, I had to learn at first hand. It was only when I said a few things that shocked my Spanish friends that I realized that it might be bet- ter to keep my thoughts to myself. When I heard about people being carted off to the local jail for public statements derogatory in nature about Franco, I knew that my friends' concern was justified. Things have changed some- what although it still doesn't pay to be very critical. Franco is still around, and, if he isn't any more an outright dictator, still the regime is very auto- cratic, resisting change as much as it thinks it can. This approach applies to the Spanish colonies as much as anybody else. A few months ago, when the military over- threw the dictatorship in Port- ugal and replaced it my a more democratic government under the leadership of a popular general, Spinola, Spain found itself more in isolation than it had been before. Up until the Portuguese coup d' etat, the two countries has been the only ones with colonies in Africa. When Spinola took over the government in Lisbon, one of the first things he said he wanted to do was to give the Portuguese colonies in Africa their independence and this he has proceeeedto do at a rate that has surprised even the Africans. Spain would like to be able to hold on to its colonies in spite of what the Pbrtuguese have done because it has disco- vered that the most important of them, Rio de Oro, has large deposits of phosphates which could become an important source of revenue in the next short while. I should point out that, if you do not know where this colony is, have a look at the upper right hand corner of a map of Africa. You will find it tucked into the corner between the sea and the countries of Morocco and Algeria, them- selves former French colonies but long since independent. This location is important since the Moroccan king has taken it into his head that, not only would he like the Spanish col- ony to be free but he would like it to become part of Mor- occo, so that it could enjoy the freedom that the Moroccans do. At the present time, in order to make the point a little clearer to Madrid, he as mass- ed troup on the border as if he were going to invade. This is not as easy at all as it sounds as the Spanish have a fair number of troops themselves stationed there, and whatever I may think of the efficiency of the Spanish government, I assure you that this feeling does not extend to the quality of Spanish shoulders. Morocco is an Arab country and one would think that any- thing that an Arab country did against another country would be supported in general by the others. Such is not the case for Algeria, another Arab nation, also would like to annex Rio de Oro and, as a result, looks with extreme displeasure on what the Moroccans are doing. Because of this, the result may be that Morocco huffs and puffs but won't blow the house down after all. The amusing thing about all this is, at the same time as the Spaniards might end up losing, one way or another, their chief colony, they aren't above doing a bit of threatening of their own. Mad- rid thinks that the British en- clave of Gibraltar rightfully belongs to Spain and has alter- 'nately applied the stick and the carrot to the British in an effort to get London to return it. So far they haven't had any more success than the Moroccans but that does not mean they will sto trying. One reason all this corn es to mind is that I have just found out that I may be back in Spain shortly on business and I was just thinking about how much I should keep my mouth shut, even about such things as Rio de Oro and Gibraltar. Just to be on the safe side, I think that I'll say as little as possible, Bangltart, TKelly, Doig aid Co. Chartered Accountants 268 Main St., Exeter ARTHUR W.
