Desde la terminación de la guerra civil, hace 32 anos, más de 12,000 libros, panfletos y artículos de revistas han sido publicados. Asimismo, el investigador tiene hoy acceso a millares de documentos.

Esta riqueza de información pudiera hacer creer que muy poco queda por hacer, en el terreno de la investigación; sin embargo, como a continuación se verá, hay muchos aspectos que no han sido investigados o esclarecidos y que, reunidos, modificarán algunas conclusiones históricas e iluminarán muchas otras todavía obscuras.

Veamos algunos ejamplos: En un documento (1) enviado al Ministerio de Negocios Extranjeros de Portugal por Calheiros, embajador portugués en Londres, pide instrucciones a Lisboa sobre el hundimiento del "Fernando Poo" (Barco republicano español) por la artilleria del "Cidade de Macau" (Cañonero portugués).

En otro documento, (2) muy poco conocido, Oliveira Salazar pide a Vasco de Cunha, Consul General de Portugal en la España nacionalista, que intercede con Franco para salvar la vida de los mejicanos hechos prisioneros en el barco "Mar Cantábrico." Para hacer esta petición más efectiva, añade: "Su Excelencia puede indicarle la circunstancia de que fue gracias a la información que nosotros le dimos, que el barco pudo ser apresado."

Esto prueba que Portugal también prestó ayuda naval a Franco, cosa que ningún historiador ha mencionado hasta ahora.

El Almirante Cervera, Jefe de Estado Mayor de la flota nacionalista, dice en su libro "Memorias de guerra," p. 60: "La campaña de los submarinos que, como legionarios [italianos] ofrecieron en la conferencia de Cadiz, (3) se pudo organizar con

[6]

sigilo. . . . Uno de ellos tuvo la fortuna de encontrar la escuadra enemiga en el fondeadero de Escombreras, sin abrigo ni vigilancia, y torpedeó el "Miguel de Cervantes," la mañana del 22 de noviembre" [1936]. La fecha es exacta, asi como también lo es la de la conferencia de Cadiz (29-12-1936) que aparece en la página 28. Pero lo que ya no es tan exacto es que la acción de los submarinos italianos empezara "con sigilo" a partir del ofrecimiento italiano, hecho en tal conferencia, ya que el torpedeamiento del "Miguel de Cervantes" se realizó 38 dias antes que ésta. Bajo qué órdenes y por acuerdo de quién los italianos cometieron tal acción y las subsiguientes hasta la conferencia de Cadiz? Aunque estas preguntas plantean otras muchas--este es nuestro objeto--el ejemplo ilustra, de nuevo, la necesidad de la investigación. Esto sin entrar en la "gaffe" histórica de Cervera.

Al compilar documentos (más de 2,000) y establecer sus correspondientes tablas sobre "Foreign intervention on the sea" (Obra inédita) hemos hallado que 603 barcos extranjeros han sido interferidos (apresados, cambiados de ruta, bombardeados, examinados, etc.) y 46 hundidos. Asimismo 115 marinos muertos y 185 heridos. De estos barcos, solamente 29 fueron interferidos por la flota republicana y ninguno hundido.

Estas impresionantes cifras muestran cuan grande fue la participación naval extranjera--fuera ella en su inmensa mayoria de cargos--e, indirectamente, cuan grande tuvo que ser la ayuda italo-alemana-portuguesa, para que tal proeza fuera posible por la escuadra nacionalista muy inferior en número a la republicana: Un destructor contra once, haste noviembre de 1937 fecha en que Italia cedió cuatro a los nacionalista; pero también los republicanos recibieron cinco mas, terminados en los astilleros de Cartagena. Ningun submarino contra doce, haste noviembre de 1937, fecha en qua Italia les cedió dos. Tuvieron el mismo número de cruceros, tres, aunque los nacionalistas tardaron algunos meses en terminar dos que estaban en construcción en Ferrol. Igualmente tuvieron un acorazado cada uno.

Estos ejemplos, a los que podrían seguir otros muchos, nos llevan a una conclusión: La mayor deficiencia, en cuanto a información e investigación, esta centrada en el papel que la mar, y su dominio, jugó en la guerra. Sobre todo si pensamos que España tiene muchas más millas de costa que de fronteras, y que más del 85% de sus abastecimientos y material bélico entraron por la vía marítima. De donde puede deducirse que, por lo menos, el 30% de las acciones que llevaron a Franco a la victoria tuvo lugar en la mar. Sin embargo, y esto es de lo mas sorprendente, no ha aparecido ni un solo libro sobre la participación extran-

[7]

jera en la mar. Y aun los publicados sobre las operaciones navales, que sólo indirectamente tocan la intervención extranjera, son pocos (menos de una docena) pobremente documentados y con una intención dominante: Justificar y enaltecer su lado. Si se dude de este juicio, véanse los cinco mejores, cuyos autores son: Almirante Cervera, Almirante Moreno y Mauricio Oliveira, por los nacionalistas, y Benavides y Bruno Alonso, por los republicanos. Probarlo, como sería lo justo y académico, requeriría varios artículos; pero, si para muestra baste un botón, véanla en el relato que, más arriba, hace Cervera sobre la conferencia de Cadiz. Además, las azañas de su flota toman casi siempre un carácter a lo Popeye.

La represión es otro de los temas muy poco tratado; sobre todo en cuanto se refiere a la zona nacionalista durante la guerra, y la secuela que siguió a la terminación de ésta. Cuando decimos poco, nos referimos a las investigaciones hechas con carácter académico-histórico y no a lo mucho escrito con fines propagandísticos.

Se puede afirmar que quien mejor ha penetrado el problema, desde todos los ángulos, ha sido Gabriel Jackson en su "The Spanish Republic and the civil war 1931-1939." Sin embargo, por ser una obra de conjunto resulta muy insuficiente y, además, no fue, ni es, ni será posible una labor de investigación estadística, mientras en España subsista un régimen totalitario. Y esta es entre otras, una de las razones de su inamovilidad.

Sin embargo, el campo siempre ha estado abierto en la zone republicana y lo publicado es muy considerable; pero el verdadero problema es la selección de fuentes, aun entre aquellas que aparentan ser serias. Por ejemplo, una de las cosas que más conmovió al mundo fue "la matanza de curas." Veamos como se manejaron las cifras: Paul Claudel, no un español, ni un poeta cualquiera, en su "Aux martyres espagnols" dice: "Onze éveques, seize mille pretres massacrés et pas une apostasie." Juan Estelrich en "La persecución-religiosa en España" da "16,750 sacerdotes asesinados." La "Carte colectiva" de 109 obispos (junio, 1937) dice: "Sumaran sólo del clero secular 6,000." La "Causa General" instruida por el Ministerio Fiscal del Tribunal Supremo, da 5,255. Esteban Bilbao, minis-

[8]

tro de justicia, en "El Monte Carmelo" diciembre 1939, p. 108 dice: "Según cifras oficiales (el subrayado es nuestro) el número de párrocos y coadjutores asesinados por los rojos es de seis mil, sin contar las elevadas víctimas del clero secular. (Copiamos de Montero Ob. Ci. p. 759). Pero el hecho es que a pesar de la seriedad de Claudel, de la carta de los obispos, del Tribunal Supremo, del ministro y de las cifras oficilales, el número de los asesinados ha sido establecido por la Iglesia española en 3,935. Decimos por la Iglesia, por las razones siguientes: Antonio Montero Moreno, director de "Eclesia" en su "Historia de la persecución religiosa en España, 1936-1939" da, al final del libro, un indice con todos los curas y seminaristas asesinados. Dice que su información procede de las iglesias e instituciones dónde estos ejercieron. Constata su lista con las semioficiales de la Iglesia y su libro lleva el nihil obstat e imprimatur de ésta. El número por él dado es de 4.184; pero incluye a los seminaristas que son 249 (Ob. Ci. p. 760). Lo que, restados, dan 3.935.

Como dato informativo añadiremos que, según el "Anuario Vaticano," había en España en 1936, 29.9O2 sacerdotes seculares. Siendo así el trece por ciento, que también da Montero.

Las colectividades, que tanto abundaron en la zona republicana, tampoco han sido tratadas a fondo, ofreciendo también un amplio campo de investigación.

La resistencia, u oposición al régimen, ha dejado tras sí--y añade cada dia--sinó grandes acciones, sí suficiente documentación (La mejor colección que existía le ha sido robada a Juan Manuel Molina, en Paris, hace dos años) hechos, dirigentes, sindicatos y partidos clandestinos, presos, etc. para, con todo ello, poder iniciar un amplio estudio. Sobre este tema, Sergio Vilar ha publicado un libro (4) basado en una serie de entrevistas. recogidas en cinta magnetofónica, con cerca de un centenar de dirigentes.

El método nos parece bueno, pero la selección de las personas está muy lejos de cubrir el complejo de la clandestinidad; sobre todo, por sólo citar un ejamplo, cuando trata a Galicia, donde los cuatro entrevistados son galleguistas.

Mucha de la información no fue verificada. Por ejemplo, en su cronología (p. 34) da como fecha de la "detención en Madrid de 14 personas acusadas de ser miembros de la A.N.F.D. [Alianza Nacional de Fuerzas Democráticas] entre ellas el dirigente galleguista Ramón Piñeiro." Esta fecha es errónea. El hecho aconteció 13 meses antes. De esto estamos seguros por haber sido uno de ellos. También, y esto es mucho peor, hay casos en que el entrevistado no se atiene a la verdad. Por ejemplo (p. 381) "Total que (Piñeiro habla) hicimos una coalición presidida por Pou i Pagés, que era muy amigo mío, en la cual estaba presente "Unió Democrática," "Esquerra," los vascos y nosotros; y luego los republicanos, socialistas, anarcosindicalistas. Esto fue

[9]

la creación de la Alianza Nacional de Fuerzas Democráticas, a la que más tarde se incorporó el P. C. renunciando a su plan de "Unión Nacional."

En lo que se refiere a A.N.F.D. esto no es verdad: Ni Piñeiro (Galleguista) ni los vascos, ni los catalanes tuvieron la más mínima intervención en la creación de A.N.F.D. Más aún, cuando invitados por nosotros (Eramos por entonces secretario del comité nacional de A.N.F.D.) a formar parte de ella, siempre encontraron alguna razón para rehusar. A.N.F.D. fue creada por los socialistas, republicanos y libertarios (C.N.T.). Las primeras gestiones fueron iniciadas por la C.N.T. y la carta constitucional fue redactada por Luque, de la C.N.T., en 1944.

Sigue Piñeiro: "Sobre todo no queríamos decidir nada contra lo que ellos (el Gobierno Giral) representaban, es decir, la legitimidad. Entonces decidimos ir al extranjero." Se refiere, en este caso, a los contactos con los monárquicos, por medio de la embajada inglesa, sostenidos con A.N.F.D., y la decisión de ésta de aclarar la situación, sobre las posibilidades del Gobierno Giral, antes de tomar una decisión de pacto Monárquicos Alianza. De nuevo, ni Piñeiro tuvo el menor contacto con estas conversaciones, ni intervino en la decisión, tomada por A.N.F.D. de consultar al Gobierno, ni tuvo ningún contacto con éste, aunque haya hablado con algún ministro. Piñeiro fue a Paris, a invitación de los vascos, para informarles de lo que ocurría. Nosotros fuimos el único representante que fue a Paris, en nombre de A.N.F.D.; es decir, los partidos socialista, comunista, republicano y C.N.T., asistiendo a varios consejos de ministros y sosteniendo conversaciones con Giral, de los Rios, Torres Campañá e Irujo, separadamente. También con La Pasionaria (5)

Es curioso que el autor, para presentar la muy insignificante información que da sobre A.N.F.D. y la gestión ante el Gobierno, escoja la parte del libro dedicada a Galicia y, como informante un gallego que nada tuvo que ver en todo ello.

Dada la dimensión critica que dedicamos a este libro, pudiera parecer que salimos de la línea de ejemplos tendentes a presenter las lagunas de investigación; sin embargo, la utilizamos de esta forma para mostrar que aun en los casos en que un tema ha sido tratado, la laguna persiste por falta de exactitud, extensión y profundidad. Al mismo tiempo, y como en el ejemplo de los curas asesinados, es una advertencia para aquellos que deban seleccionar su material de investigación. Por otra parte, esto muestra un hueco: la necesidad de una historiografía, o guía selectiva, asi como una lista de fondos bibliográfico-documentales tanto en

and literature excluded) submitted for degrees from 1928 to the 1969-1970 academic year.

Under the two divisions of Spain and Portugal, all dissertations have been classified on the basis of their contents, regardless of the department to which they have been submitted; and duplicate entries are made under the various headings where appropriate. Within each heading the arrangement is by author of the dissertation. The information furnished for each dissertation entry appears in the following sequence: (1) the author's name; (2) the complete title and subtitle of the dissertation; (3) type of degree; (4) the name of the university to which the dissertation was submitted; and (5) the academic year in which the degree was conferred.

The compiler hopes that this listing will prove an invaluable tool to all directors of graduate study who are discussing dissertation topics with students and to all students considering subjects.

The following information was obtained from the "Editorial Note" section (pp. vii-xiii) in the 1967-1968 volume of the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux (ASLIB), Index to Theses Accepted for Higher Degrees in the Universities of Great Britain and Ireland: 'In April 1954 the Standing Conference of National and University Libraries considered the availability of theses submitted in the British Isles. It was apparent that at that time these could not be borrowed easily and also that the regulations relating to their use were varied and conformed to no agreed pattern. The Conference proposed that an attempt should be made to ask University authorities to remove restrictive rules and to allow the free use of their theses by readers both within and outside the University. A letter was circulated to all Vice Chancellors suggesting that the normal procedure for theses should be:

(A) That at least one copy of every thesis accepted for higher degrees should be deposited in the University Library.

(C) That, subject to the author's consent, all theses should be available for inter library loan.

(C) That, subject to the author's consent, all theses should be available for photo copying.

[12]

(D) That authors of theses should be asked at the time of deposit to give their consent for (B) and (C) in writing, and that this consent should be inserted in the deposit copy of theses. As a result of this appeal the theses regulations of most Universities have been reconsidered and in many cases altered to facilitate the interchange of information contained in thesis literature. The following table will indicate the present position at each University. The letters A-D represent parts of the fourfold standard proposed by S.C.O.N.U.L. and in the column headed Remarks will be found notes of special circumstances. The term loan normally refers to inter-library loans only: borrowing by individuals is rarely allowed. It should be noted that most Universities require the borrower of an unpublished thesis to sign a declaration that no information derived from the thesis will be published or used without the consent in writing of the author.'

The Humanities Research Center of The University of Texas at Austin has recently increased its Spanish Civil War holdings, owing to a gift from Professor Paul P. Rogers, former chairman of the Spanish Department at Oberlin, who was in Spain with the Red Cross during the war. The Rogers collection consists of 108 books and pamphlets (including 44 in Spanish, 37 in French, 26 in English and 1 in Catalan) on a variety of subjects. Quite a few of the pamphlets deal with the affairs of the Socorro Rojo Internacional. In addition, the Rogers collection includes 28 posters, including many from the "Esta es la obra del fascismo" series, published by the Fifth Regiment. Also contained in the collection are postcards, odd numbers of serials, clippings of English editorial cartoons dealing with the war and some letters and typescripts 7 including a mimeographed Relación de prisioneros italianos, enumerating Italian PO's by name.

The Rogers gift brings the total number of books and pamphlets in the Humanities Research Collection to 594. The core of this collection, aside from the Rogers gift, consists of 241 books and pamphlets in Spanish and 225 in English, covering a wide variety of Civil War topics, but particularly strong in Falange and Nationalist materials. The collection includes substantial runs of works of such authors as José María Carretero (El Caballero Audaz --10 volumes) and Victor Ruíz Albéniz (El Tebib Arrumi--25 volumes).

[27]

This enumeration does not include the substantial collection of civil war material shelved in the Main Library.

MINUTES OF THE 1971 MEETING

The Annual Business Meeting of the Society for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies was called to order on Sunday, April 18, 1971, at four o'clock by the General Secretary of the Society, Clara E. Lida, and the agenda accepted. Professor Francis Dutra was selected as Secretary.
 

I. The General Secretary reported on the situation of the Society after two years of activities. It was noted that membership increased from 60 to 102 members, with 19 student members and five foreign ones. In spite of this growth, it was urged that more students be encouraged to join the Society. The financial report revealed similar development: Receipts from dues and expenses were as follows:

Membership and Conference Registration                                       $ 1,412.03

Expenditures (Secretarial help, Newsletter expenses,
speaker honorarium, postage, conference expenses, etc.)                     475.14
                                                                                                         _________

Previous Balance (1970)                                                                      $ 528.72
                                                                                                         _________

New Balance (1971)                                                                         $ 1,465.61

The expenses of the Second Annual Meeting were absorbed by the State University of New York at Stony Brook ($1,800) and by the Society ($200). Professor Sánchez Albornoz moved that the Society express its thanks to the University on behalf of the membership. The motion was seconded and passed.

A report from the Editor of the Newsletter, Professor Thomas F. Glick was read.
 

II. A motion was made to abolish the Nominating Committee and that all nominations come from the floor. The motion was seconded but failed. Because of the resignation of Professor Gabriel Jackson from the Nominating Committee, it was moved that the Committee
 

be reduced from a four-member Committee to three. The motion was seconded and carried. The Committee continued with the standing members elected last year for a three year period. A proposal on electoral procedures drafted by Edward Malefakis was distributed to the Assembly. It was decided that it be printed in the Newsletter, and that the Nominating Committee make its recommendation before next Spring's meeting.

III. Three members of the Executive Committee were to be replaced and two new members were to be elected in 1971. The Nominating Committee composed of Professors Temma Kaplan Wiener, Morgan Broadhead and Vicente Llorens selected Professors Carlos Blanco, Nicolás Sánchez Albornoz and Iris Zavala to be replaced and drew a list of candidates. The top three were: Nicolás Sánchez Albornoz (New York University), Stanley Payne (University of Wisconsin) and Iris M. Zavala (State University of New York at Stony Brook). The floor was opened for nominations but none was made.

Professor Sánchez-Albornoz moved that an alternate member for the Executive Council be chosen also. The motion was seconded and carried. The secret ballot results were:

Sanchez-Albornoz - elected
Stanley G.Payne - alternate
Carlos Blanco-Aguinaga - term ended

IV. Professor Zavala thanked this year's guests. Professor and Mrs. Pierre Vilar for participating in the Conference and moved that they be named Honorary Members of the Society. The motion was seconded and carried.

I am compiling a list of the monographic section of the George C.A. Boehrer Collection in the Special Collections Division of the University of Kansas Libraries. Involved are approximately 1,000 items which pertain largely to the period 1820 to 1853 in Portugal. It might also be mentioned here that Special Collections possesses some 20,000 manuscripts on this period--a partial calendar is available to visiting scholars.
