We are not dealing here, he said in his belatedly published ad vertising council speech, "with the kind of situation where we can go from one country to .another with a piece of litmus paper and see whteher everything is true blue, whether the political, eco nomic and social climate is exact ly, in all its details, the kind we would like to have either for them or for us. The only question that we should ask is whether they are determined to protect their inde pendence against tommunist ag gression and if they are we should recognize our basic unity with them on this point.'' Might Nc4 Apply Acheson may not have been thinking of Spain at alL The poli cy might not apply unless there was a threat . which involved Spain's determination to protect her independence against commu nist aggression. But the policy has been stated. Already the United States has decided that the U. N. decision calling for a withdrawal of mem ber nation ambassadors from Spain was a mistake. And it is fairly clear that, when and if suf ficient pressure develops, Ameri can objections to the' Franco re gime will give way to expediency. May Correct Practices In the meantime there may be some hope in the state depart ment that, by holding back, Fran co may be prevailed upon to cor rect some of the totalitarian prac tices which have alienated other nations. ' Acheson has been sincere in op posing adrrftesion of Spain to the western family on moral grounds. He feels, such things deeply. Franco's attitude toward the protestant churches, toward civil liberties and his facist practices have capped his wartime associa tion with the Berlin-Rome axis. Britain and America would like for him to clean, his feet before he steps on the parlor; rug. Police,!
