In a speech delivered during tho conference session of the ruling
political party (National Union) a week before the end of last
month the fascist Portuguese Premier, Dr, Salazar, admitted
the development of the armed struggle for i^epe^dence'^ky .the
Nationalists in various parts of Mozanbique.
In that long speech covering a number of issues about the external and internal economic and political situation of Portugal
and the so-called overseas provinces (on this occasion he just
called then overseas territories), Dr. Salazar underlined the
effect of the fight in Mozanbique on Portuguese Nationals.
Admitting the advance of the Nationalists and the demoralisation of the Portuguese troops and population, he said, however, that one thing had been won, to convince others that the
Nationalists are fighting for a just case.
Nevertheless, he lamented that the million and a half "contos"
(about £20,600,000) spent yearly on defense, besides other
thousands of"contosn spent in african territories for the same purpose, could not be used in Portugal and Africa CLl roads,
ports, schools, hospitals,"installation of * industries, mining,
etc.. Admitting that such a long and a expensive war should
continue becausevPoftugal was fullfilling an obligation, protecting peoples1 lives and defending the interest of Portugal
and''whole West (colonialisriie and' in£Srialisne), he v/ent on to
say that they are not combating the explosions of the feeling
or SSfttiiaent" of the 'people "but 't6rf£>rism and subversive elements.
On 21st February at the time when a group of 500 of students was
demonstrating'Against the methods of the political police Salazar made an allusion that for the first time in.the political "history"Of"Portugal, the real power of government would
be in the.hands of the President and not in his, own,, which makes'Us "believe that he will not be in the cabinet of tho next
government which will begin fron the second half of this year
after the Presidential elections!'He emphasized that the present regime was most stable, peaceful and efficient and he
wanted it *to' continu.6 '. '
Reading and analysing carefully the whole text of the speech one
cannot but conclude that the honourable Salazar, the Portuguese God-given saviour, does not live in a world of human beings.
The whole fault lies in the fact that those representing Portugal in the colonies cannot measure the degree of peoples'feeling about their colonial masters or they send wrong infor-
