Moore Gives Insight Into Spanish Life
Ex ambassador Alexander P. Moore returns to New York after three years in Madrid praising Spain as peaceful and fascinating. He predicts a possible royal visit to the U.S. next year and lauds General Primo de Rivera as a statesman. He notes low crime, strong art, hospitable people, and a robust economy with Spain’s currency backed by an 80 percent metal reserve. He criticizes travel propaganda and hints at potential impacts on U.S.-Spain trade from bureaucratic boards.
