From America's point of view we are insane to think that the time to oppose the Germans-if we ever are going to-is when they land armed forces in this hemisphere. If things go on as they have been for the last three years, the Germans will never have to land a man. Even Napoleon had to admit, in the end, that ideas are all-powerful, and the ideas of Nazidom are penetrating throughout South America.

Stories leaked out that while attending the coronation of George VI in London in 1937 as an official Spanish delegate he approached the British Foreign Office with a view to ending the War by mediation. Last spring, after Catalonia fell, Professor Besteiro was one of the leaders of the coup which seized power from the Juan Negrin Government and set up a Defense Council with the avowed purpose of making peace with General Franco.
