Five months ago the "Nationalists" won the Spanish Civil War. They were as strange a mixture as can be found in a Catalan bouillabaisse: Bourbon Generals and aristocrats, plutocrats, devout and royalist Carlist Requetés, radical Fascist Falangists, Moors, Germans, Italians...
Monarchists. Meanwhile another reason was advanced for the delay of Dictator Franco's victory parade: he was afraid to demobilize. A Paris dispatch to the New York Times told of troubles the fascist-minded Spaniards (including the Generalissimo) were having with the Carlists, the monarchy-loving Spaniards of northern Spain.

In Morocco twelve...
