Comintern Pact

Totalitarian Issue Another

Matter London, Mar, 26.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco, head of Nationalist Spain, has agreed to join Germany, Italy and Japan in the Anti-Comintern Pact, diplomatic quarters reported today.

The decision was said to have been reached following negotiations with the three major members of the Anti-Comintern accord.

However, it is understood that Nationalist Spain will not announce her membership in the Totalitarian pact immediately for fear of damaging her relations with the Democratic Powers from whom she hopes to obtain loans and credits for the reconstruction of Spain.—United Press.
