PITALISM
HORA-BASSA
Portugal has today the longest existing Fascist dictatorsnip the world
has ever known. It started before those in Spain and Germany, and it
has far outlived that which prevailed in Italy. Each of these Fascist
regimes has been associated with a notorious dictators Mussolini in
Italy, Hitler in Germany, Franco in Spain, and Salazar in Portugal. But
it would be a serious mistake to believe that the system ends simply
because a particular dictator is no longer on the scene. Ill health
has forced Salazar to resign, and after several months his successor
Marcelo Caetano, has shown that there is to be no essential change
within Fascist Portugal nor in its policies towards Africa.
