A forecast that all Jews will soon be expelled from Spain in the same manner as this was done in the 15th century was voiced here today by Jose Luna, vice-secretary of the Falange Party.

Speaking at a public meeting in Caceres, Luna declared that history will soon repeat itself with regard to the Jews in Spain. “We shall proceed to the expulsion of the Jews with the firmness that may be necessary, consistent with the doctrine of unity,” the leader of the Falangists declared. There are today not more than 5,000 Jews in Spain, in addition to the Jewish refugees who are held isolated in special camps.
