posely kept alive two antagonistic Spains: his Spain and "Red
Spain". "In every sphere," as an authoritative student of the
Franco state has put it, "it has been the consistent policy of the
Spanish regime to extol itself as the victor of 1939, to evoke all

the loyalties and passions and fears which the Civil War aroused."
Simultaneously with this smothering of the Left, Franco has
worked incessantly and astutely to hold together the divergent forces
which supported him in the Civil War. This has been a difficult
task. The militant Falangists, with their radical totalitarian
point of view, have often greatly angered the old-fashioned officer
class and the aristocracy. Control of education has been contested
between the Falange and the Church. From time to time the prospect
has loomed that the Army, which conferred the office of Chief of the
Government of the State upon Franco, would move to take it from him.
Franco has surmounted these difficulties by outmaneuvering his ene-
mies. He has mollified the Army by privileges, promotions, and oppor-
tunities for black market profits, has prevented any other general
from emerging as his serious rival by timely shifts of command, and has
never relinquished his unique advantage in relation to the other
generals of being the head of the only authorized political party in
