Spain invites UN probe but strings attached aroma
OLAND IS to present its indictment charging Franco's regime as a threat to world peace and harboring German scientists to the U N security council this week. The Spanish cabinet offers a commission to prove the charges but only to nations friendly to Spain, excluding Poland Russia Mexico France and China. The council should hear the charges in detail before any invitation to inspect. If useful, invite should be accepted only after unfriendly nations are included to show good faith. The invitation seems politically tinged with strings attached.
