Abstract
Description
Enclosed with No. 1132. Comments on Paul R. Leach article in Chicago Daily News; according to Leach, American Catholics have come to believe "there is little to choose between the two warring factions in Spain"; embargo should be lifted; for a Catholic minority to ask for its maintenance is discriminatory; embargo works to advantage of Spanish aggressors; only hope for restoring order in Spain lies in the Republican government; Juan Negrin, although Socialist, not an extremist; his thirteen points have made great impression even in Rebel country; has proposed peace with full guarantees for the vanquished, an immediate plebescite, and absolute respect for religion; if Franco wins, his announced plan is extermination of the 2,000,000 "criminals" of Loyalist Spain.
