Serrano Suner, speaking at the opening of a German press expo sition, said there should be no doubt as to the firmness of the ties binding the two totalitarian governments. When the Spanish civil war broke out In 1936, he said, Eu ropean countries "closed the ranks of friendship and hostil ity" and since the end of that conflict Spain's position has been well known to everyone. Although Spain has been an on looker thus far in the European war, Serrano Suner said her aims and those of warring Germany were for a new Europe which would achieve a "geographical and moral fullness." 1 The first battlefields of this Europe, he said, were those of Spain's civil conflict. : 1 Germany, he asserted, may feel (Turn to Page 2, CoL 8) - acter.
