Anti-Franco Movement
Intensifies In Spain

By OWEN ROCHE
MEXICO CITY— (ALN) —The people of Spain will

not allow fascism in that country to continue regardless of
the disguises it adopts nor will the people of America and
Europe, the Committee for Aid to the Supreme Junta of
National Union, which is composed of representatives of
the main Spanish refugee groups here, commented on the
first anniversary of the underground force in Spain. Military
and moral aid to the underground was urged.

“Under the leadership of the
Junta, all democratic beliefs
are working to overthrow
Franco’s fascist dictatorship
and bring freedom, peace and

democracy to Spain,” the Com=—
mittee declared in a statement.

“During the year of its exist-
ence, the Junta has vigorously
strengthened national anti-fas-
cist unity and has taken the
lead in the underground move-
ment in preparation for the
decisive battle for the libera-
tion of Spain. The Junta is a
firm guarantee for the re-
establishment of a democratic,
progressive and just govern-
ment in Spain. 3

“The hour of freedom is
drawing near and Spaniards
who were the first to fight
fascism in Europe, who never
yielded te Franco terrorism
and who are contributing
their blood to the fight against
Hitler on all battlefields, will
not allow the continuation of
fascism im Spain, no matter
what disguises it adopts.

Neither will the free peoples
of America and Europe per-
mit the fascist domination of
Spain, but rather they will

freedom.

“The Spanish people united
carries on the struggle against
Franco and bloody Falangist
banditry. War without quarter
must be waged against Franco
and his ¢o-criminals. Democ-
tracy must mobilize against the
maneuvers of reaction, which
is attempting to deny the Span-
ish people their fight to free
dom.”

British Social Insurance Plan Approved |

By ANNE KELLY

LONDON— (ALN) —While the British labor movement is still debating the White
Paper on social insurance issued by the government, its first reaction to the supplemen-
tary White Paper on compensation for industrial injury made public yesterday has been
one of general approval. The new White Paper would do away with debate on a work-
ers’ claim, making compensation a part of social insurance. The government's statement
compares the injured worker to a man wounded in battle, asserting that the nation should
assume responsibility for both. :

Under the government plan,
an incapacitated single man or
woman without dependents will
receive 35 shillings ($7) for the
first 13 weeks, as compared to
24 shillmgs ($4.80) in the

Beveridge report. The penSion
for total disablement will be
40 shillings ($8) a week, with
additional allowances for de-
pendents. Weekly contributions
by the workers for accident in-
surance will be sixpence (10
cents) for men and fourpence
(7 cents) for women.

Commenting on the work-
mens’ compensation plan, a
spokesman for the British

Trades Union Congress stated
“it transfers the vexed prob-
lem from the unsatisfactory
sphere of litigation to the basis
of a social service. The machin-
ery is first-rate and the bene-
fit rates represent a substantial
improvement over Beveridge’s
proposals. The provision of an
additional allowance of 20 shil-
lings where increased medical
attendance is necesSary is very
welcome and the proposal to

institute an advisory commit-
tee where employers, and work-
men will be equally represent-
ed, with the function of advis-
ing Manisters, is very good.’

“The scheme as a whole wall
be greeted as bold, intelligent.

and humane,” an editorial in
the Daily Herald, official organ
of the Labor party, declared.
“During the last half century,
the law has said that an em-
ployer is liable for compensat-
ing his working people when
they suffer industrial injury.
Thousands of law Gases are
fought each year over such
claims. The government pro-
poses instead that workmen’s
compensation become a branch
of social services. Under the

government’s plan, benefits will

be paid at flat rates with sddi-
tions for family responsibili-
ties whereas under the present
law the rate of compensation

is decided according to the
workers’ earnings ‘before his
injury.”

The original White Paper on
Social insurance nas been re-
ceived with a much more criti-
eal attitude both in labor and
conservative circles. The TUG

general council stated that the -

plan, “while following the main
rronosals of the Beveridge re-
port, makes no provision for
insuring a subsistence mini-
