Home folks won’t mind the local sheet not being able to afford color, they will get color in their city dailies, they will find color in local news about people they know.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, March 16 <**>— Diplomatic authorities predicted today that Portugal probably will join the proposed Atlantic Security Pact despite Portuguese objections to Spain’s “exclusion” and other matters. / ? : A Portuguese embassy! state ment last nfght made cldar that the Lisbon/government has not yet reached a final decision and that questions about the treaty are still being asked of the American gov ernment. Portugal’s chief objection ap peared to be its expressed deter mination not to m.ake any treaty commitment which would compel it to grant peacetime bajses to a foreign power in the Azores Is- lapdsi It was learned, however, that tho State Department is assuring ihc Portuguese government that the treaty would carry po com mitment to grant bases ijmd that the other member power)* ip tne alliance would h*Ve no aiuthority to decide that issue for Portugal: The position of the United States Lee Speaks to A] Majors on Loans Di', Virgil 1'. l<ec, /prijridetlt of the Production CrcdK Aksoclwtion of llouNton, nddr4XM)d Anlmul Him- hundry mnjor« rw4ntly, j Ilia topic wmhTHbort Tlmp Loupn for ri'rotcclioii/uiid Corifjlrucilon."

With respect to Spain, the Poi^ tuguese statement said Utat country’s “exclusion” could/on ly Weaken the role” of thi/lber- ian peninsula in the Atlantic de fense system. Optimism among tj4aty nego tiators here as to Portugal’s even tually lining up witK the other At lantic powers rested on ^wo things. First, there was/the ready reas surance to Portugal about bases’. Second, there /was the -declaration in the embassy statement that “the Portuguese/government was one of the first governments to express satisfaction on the idea of a pact of the/Atlantic nations.” Portugal with the Azores, the isliuid republic of Icefhnd and Den- mgrk with Greenland all control ghly strategic positions in the orth Atlantic.
