...Actually, Rightist Spain is no more dominated by one party than Leftist Spain. The little villagers of the northwest are ablaze with the slogan: ONE COUNTRY, ONE ARMY, ONE CAUDILLO. But no such unity prevails among the wildly assorted groups which are loosely allied in support of the Spanish Fascist State...
...these parties and factions are supposed to be represented in Caudillo Franco's 20-man Junta, loosely modeled on the Italian Fascist Grand Council and decreed last April. But the Junta has never sat. The group which actually runs the highly simplified government of Rightist Spain is no larger than the very elementary requirements of a military dictatorship. Francisco Franco, one of the few Spaniards on the peninsula who does not take two hours off for lunch, does most of his own work. He has no formal cabinet, but is helped by a handful of more or less obscure...
...sure- most of the financial backing came from the "Richest Man in Spain,'' Monarchist Count of Romanones and racketeer-tycoon Juan March, the uneducated, onetime tobacco smuggler.

Time & again, the blustering General Cedillo, riled at Leftist indictments, handed in his resignation, but Cardenas refused...
Radicals seized upon these differences, encouraged uprisings at Chapingo Agricultural School. Fortnight ago, students demonstrated against "Fascist" Cedillo. The Minister of Agriculture peevishly complained that the undergraduates, many of them students he had appointed, should remain loyal. He wired Cárdenas at Yucatan: "Order War Department to present for my disposition 200 soldiers to be sent to Chapingo Agricultural School to stop riots. Should you fail to comply . . . please accept this as my resignation. . . ." The threat failed. Cárdenas replied, "Your resignation has been accepted." General Cedillo hurried his bulk off to the safety of his own bailiwick...
