Aims
NEW
YORK,
Aug
2:
The
Spanish
Insurgent
forces
are
fighting
not
only
for
control
of
Spain
but
for
the
"destruction
of
Communism
throughout
the
entire
world,"
according
to
General
Francisco
Franco,
rebel
leader
In
an
exclusive
interview
with
T.
R.
Ybarra,
European
correspondent
of
Collier's,
General
Franco
delivered
a
special
message
to
the
people
of
the
United
States,
emphasizing
that
his
objective
is
world-wide.
"It
is
not
generally
realized,"
he
told
Ybarra,
"that
we
are
intent
on
a
crusade
that
will
ultimately
lead
to
the
destruction
of
Communism
in
the
world.
Russia
has
seen
this;
and
that
is
why.
with
the
help
of
the
French
Socialist
Government,
she
has
made
iuch
frantic
efforts
to
supply
Valencia
(Spanish
Government
headquarters)
with
men
and
armaments.
Had
it
not
been
for
this,
the
war
would
have
ended
long
ago.
"Just
as
Spain
saved
the
civilized
world
from
the
Turks
at
the
Battle
of
Lepanto,
she
has
now
engaged
in
another
such
historical
feat
against
the
modern
but
no
less
dangerous
scourge.
,
"We
