Spanish Envoy Watches War
And Job With Aid of Map
De Los Rios Has Double
Task of Ambassador
and Student.
By the Associated Press.
Huddles of colored pins on a map
give the Spanish Ambassador an in
stant picture of the ebb and flow of
the bloody civil war wl ch is seek
ing to sweep away the government he
represents.
Ambassador Fernando de los Rios
wrinkled his heavy brows, stroked his
trim black goatee as he studied the
map and pointed out some of the re
cent advances of Gen. Franco's army.
"It is an incident,” he said. "In
war there are many incidents. Some
are very disagreeable. War itself is
very disagreeable.”
The Ambassador is an author, phi
losopher and former president of the
University of Madrid.
As the Spanish republic’s first min
ister of justice he wrote the law or
daining freedom of worship in 1931.
As minister of education he estab
lished 10.500 public schools in two
years. As minister of foreign affairs
he helped secure the recognition of
Russia by Spain.
He now Is working at the double
task of diplomat and student.
Two weeks after his arrival last
October he began a series of public
addresses to tell Americans what the
civil upheaval in his country means.
Wife Shares Popularity.
Scholars and socialites sought out
the distinguished Spaniard and his
attractive wife, a former pro' r
herself. They were guests of honor
at state functions and dinners.
But the gay social whirl formerly
associated with the Spanish repre
sentatives here was curtailed sharply.
A course for diplomats in Ameri
can government was begun last
month at American University. Am
bassador de los Rios, who has taught
courses at Columbia University. New
York, the Sorbonne in Paris and King
College of London University, was
among the first to enroll as a student.
"I am very interested in the life,
culture and economics of the United
States." Senor de los Rios explained.
"The technique of government and
its organization naturally has especial
interest for us in Spain. It is difficult
to explain what is the most interest
ing aspect of your country."
He paused, reflected, then added:
“I believe it is the youngness. By
that I imply that it is full of possi
bility."
The Ambassador said he believed
the government in Spain would win.
He added that the principle of col
lective security was "the only means
capable of creating an international
community of free and sovereign peo
ples."
He often is asked how It happens
that he. the son of a Spanish Army
officer and member of one of the rul
ing classes in Spain, should be a thor
oughgoing liberal.
"I have always had a social concep
tion of life," he said. "I have repre

sented Granada in the Spanish Par
liament since 1919, and still do.”
Throughout his career Dr. de los
Rios has evidenced his interest in
modern modes of life, as well as in
studies of international law and polit
ical science.
Reading is his’ greatest pleasure. He
minimizes the well-filled shelves in his
library here. At home in Spain he
left a library of 11,500 volumes, one of
the best in the country. But the books
here indicate his wide interests.
There are the latest books of Sin
clair Lewis and George Santayana.
“Theory of the Leisure Life," by
Thorstein Veblen. one of his favorite
American writers, is well thumbed.
There is fiction, poetry, philosophy—
in French, German, Italian. English,
Spanish. He speaks all five languages.
The English might have been a
stumbling block. Dr. de los Rios
learned the language 32 years ago at
school in England, but had no “con
tinuous exercise” for it until he was
appointed Ambassador. He's using it
more fluently daily. His wife is making
it her special study and she is of great
help to him, he said.
Fond of long Walks.
When there is time the Ambassador
takes long walks in the country.
Mountains, not golf or bridge or sail
ing. are his hobby.
"I have been to the mountains of
Spain and Switzerland and Germany," 1
he said. "I like to climb them in the
snow. When there is time I should
like to visit yours here in America."
But there is little time here, he ex
plained, for anything except the prob
lems of Spain. Even music and art,
two of his greatest enjoyments, have
to be slighted.
The Ambassador looked longingly at
stacks of envelopes containing the
notes for a new book.
"I was in Geneva preparing a book
I on the international community when
, I was assigned here as Ambassador,"
; he said. "I wonder when it will be
I finished."
