principle on the extension for five more years of the agreement under which American forces maintain bases on Spanish territory The price in military hardware to the United Stateshas yet to be settled 0n occa sions in the past the Spanish govern ment has proven itself proud and tough bargainer When it comes to negotiating the details of the extension of the base agreement we tnist that the American team will be as hard headed as their Spanish counterparts We have vigorously questioned the need to renew the agreement But since decision in principle to do so has now been made the Christian Sci ence Monitor urges that the United States government guard against fur ther compromising itself unnecessarily in its condoned dealings with the Franco regime That regime has done little window dressing in the past week perha with the intent of facilitating the tal that Spanish Foreign Minister kistiella Maiz has just had in Washington On the eve of his arrival in the United States capital the Franco government announced the lifting month earlier than expected of the state of emergency declared last January This has hardly changed overnight the nature of gov ernment in Spain but it has removed at least for outside eyessome of its more jarring aspentiles Within Spain the four most trouble some centres of oppositionto the re gime are the workers who want their own and not governmentrt

But of even grater importance for the immledigaéfn futurevnilsfi that struggle apparen on govern ment between hard and notsohardlln ers Beyond the immediate future is the fashioning oi the succession to Gen eral Franco Few now expect any change at the top so long as he is on the scene With his canny Gnliclan temperament and stamina he is proving remarkably durable The hardliners seemed to be having it their way with him whenthe state of emergency was proclaimed last January with its pre mature lifting presumably they have lost ground For how long remairs to be seen DOWN MEMORY LANE 35
