Ambassador Accuses Fascists

WASHINGTON--Spanish Ambassador Ferdinand De Los Rios charged tonight that Germany any Italy have established air and submarine bases in Spain for possible use against France, England and the United States.

The Ambassador said at a press conference that Germany and Italy are much more interested in Spain for its strategic possibilities than for raw materials. He said that his government has "absolute factual information" that the two authoritarian powers have 19 air bases in the Basque country near the French border, and that Germany has "complete possession" of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic.
