Spain
Today celebrates the Feast of the race which, being Hispanic festival in the most genuine of the meanings, that is, his own party, of his spirit, his carries and his glorious lineage, is the most solemn, the most August of commemorations and must be coated with all the fervor and anointing to all make it worthy the preeminence of rank and singularity of meaning. Neither before nor after the memorable feat that led to the commemoration, some people in the world has been able to attribute such a company. Greece and Rome were mothers of people, which led to the thrust of the weapons their language, their arts and laws, but to Spain, by a providential predestination, which places them in a higher rank in history, saw fit mission to be the discoverer of the vast territories they had to shine the sun of its civilization and its genius. Discovered and conquered Spain, but made more so because after the discovery and conquest, settled, colonized and civilized.
It is precisely this wonderful chain of fruitful activity comes the imperishable greatness which we are self-satisfied before the world, it also comes from the halo of spirituality that border with inextinguishable light flashes, the party today commemorated.
is primarily Hispanic festival, the Columbus, it establishes dominance, supremacy, or let us say more in tune with the nature of the facts, "the rule of Hispanic spirit with all his ancestral roots, transported to unknown regions by men who only sought the protection of the Cross of our religion and the sword of our Catholic Kings.
Cruz and symbolic sword. About themselves and post them for persevering work of centuries, was also transported all that was our most precious treasure, the language, the arts, sciences, law, literature, our entire civilization in short, forged by the noble effort of thought and action and resulted in the productions of writers and poets, the speculations of wise, the theories of philosophers, conceptions of the mystics and inspired works of artists, many of whose remains on the canvas and stones, people are proud Americans, who keep them as sacred relics of a past that our name is inextricably linked.
This is, all the fiber and all the substance of a people in spiritual and tangible, is what the ships of Christopher Columbus, driven by the breath of the Faith, led the New Continent to breathe life .
And so, in the great book of humanity, Spain was able to write in indelible characters that will perpetuate the centuries, a date that marks the separation between two edades.La of October 12, 1492.
Even in hypothetical speculation may support the existence of two Spain. Too often, and even impertinent has been discussed, with reference to the current fight bloodied our soil, both Spain. There are two
Spain in fighting, but Spain and the anti-Spain. There is only one Spain, immortal and unique. The Sagunto and Numancia. Which in Covadonga and Lepanto, saving Christian civilization, saved Europe, and which, now, united and cheering towards the Caudillo Franco, opposed to the rough victorious onslaught of the hordes without God and country .
comes into being this year's Fiesta de la Raza is still fresh when the noble conduct of the American nations that have managed to realize that there is only one real Spain and have been known to be loyal to the progeny immortal. The voice of the blood could not resign their dictates, and in September the U.S. State delegates who attended the deliberations of the League of Nations in Geneva, shrewdly perceived that the Valencia Government representatives were not Spain. And this conviction, which was also a feeling, adjusted their attitude of rejection against the Soviet Committee of the legitimate holder of power of Spain. It was Latin America that returning to the jurisdiction of authentic Hispanic, decided by their votes the expulsion of the Council of the League of Nations of Spain phishers genuine.
opportunity not detail them, but to evoke a whole as an expression of loyalty to Spain, Latin America, acts of heartfelt reverence with which the various American states, with the exceptions very logical and well-known, paid tribute in honor of Spain, since the inception of the current season. Even so, and so you can see the emotional anxiety, which, in the spiritual approach which is today, will continue in the other hemisphere the beats of the fight and will vote for the final victory and total of the Caudillo, suffice to recall the partial recognition of the American governments to our Generalissimo, made the tacit or explicit, and consistent record of love and affectionate sympathy of they receive at all times. For example, on the day of their national holiday, Guatemala recognized the Franco government, as the only legal in Spain. Uruguay's initiative to reach a similar recognition collectively, the attitude of many other Latin American nations that deliberately do not name, and their diplomatic or consular representatives accredited to our country, we would be forced a neatly into the story, that we would not incur. Suffice for now to praise their noble and generous attitude and record the gratitude that Spain is indebted to her daughters, will be eternal.
For America the Government of Generalissimo Franco is the only genuine legal and erected by the national will to be faithful follower of the glorious history of the country. And if the Crusade is to restore the Imperial destination in Spain, with the Crusade must be attuned, as are our brothers in America.
Under these auspices is celebrated this year's Fiesta de la Raza, while the arms of Spain rescue the territory and the spirituality that the Catholic Monarchs bequeathed to us. ABC
