Is the government of Spain a "red" government or a "people's" 
government?

What is the attitude towards it of Liberal Republicans? Of 
Anarcho-Syndicalists? Of workers and farmers? Of 
high intellectuals? Of the clergy?

What is its program and what has it done for the people?

Has it persecuted the church or religion?

Who organized the revolt against it and why?

What part are foreign governments playing in fomenting 
revolt?

What is the significance of the Spanish conflict for the 
democracies of the world?

What can Americans and Canadians do to help the forces of 
democracy? 

To answer these burning questions Dr. Harry F. Ward and A. A. 
MacLeod, chairmen of the American and Canadian Leagues Against 
War and Fascism, on their recent trip to the World Peace Congress 
in Brussels, arranged a special interview with representatives of the Spanish 
government.

The conference was held in Paris with the following present: 

MARCELINO DOMINGO
ANTONIO LARA
LUIS RECOSENS SICHES
JOSE SALMERON
LUIS SARASOLA
DOLORES IBARRURI
(La Passionaria)
MIGUEL GONZALEZ
FIDORO HERNANDEZ
ANTONIO MORENO

See "Appeal" - Appendix "A"

This comprehensive delegation gave three hours to answering ques-
tions of Mr. MacLeod and Dr. Ward on behalf of the American and 
Canadian democracies. Sometimes the questions were posed to particular 
individuals; most often they were discussed by the entire group and then 
answered collectively. Yet each individual contributed his share to the 
collective answer.

The questioners will long remember the clear, urbane mind of Mar-
celino Domingo, with his understanding both of Spanish and of world 
politics: the comprehensive grasp of legal questions showed by Antonio 
Lara, the sad, firm nods with which the priest Luis Sarasola affirmed that 
the "church" should not be confused with "priests who shoot from 
belfries" and "make God to be a belligerent," and the modest clear 
accounts given by the three members of the workers' militia.

Most of all they will remember the warm, deep tones of La Passion-
aria, for whom every question was a matter of passionate conviction too 
firm to admit of doubt.

The interviewers wish to express thanks to Anna Louise Strong. 
American writer and lecturer, who took the notes and compiled the 
material of this interview.
