had taken in a Communist minister) to draw closer diplomatically to
the USSR, led to a revolt by the Socialist, CNT, and conservative
Catholic ministers. Giral resigned. The new Government-in-exile
was headed by Rodolfo Llopis, a Socialist leader distinctly unsym-
pathetic to the Communists, although he felt impelled, partly be-
cause of the political atmosphere in France, also to take on a
Communist minister.
The significance of this change in the Government-in-exile was
its possible bearing upon the most important political problem facing
Franco and the opposition in 1947. This was the problem -- the solu-
tion of which Franco had to forestall -- of drawing together elements
from the leftist opposition and from the rightist (or monarchist)
opposition in order to submerge the enmities of the Civil War long
enough to create a moderate leadership capable of appealing to
Spaniards from both sides: the building, in short, of a strong moderate
center able to withstand pressures from the political extremities.
Franco's strategy had always been to prevent this union of his ene-
mies and to foster hatred between the monarchists and the leftists.
The Communist Party's strategy is essentially the same, for Communism
can succeed in Spain only if there is a head-on shock between the Right
and the Left.
