Summary

In the months and years which followed his assumption of the Secretary-Generalship of the Traditionalist Communion, Fal Conde's personal appeal and political judgment were often to be called into question by fellow Carlists. Never, however, did anyone doubt his powers as an organizer. Within days of taking up his new post, Fal Conde threw himself into the work of giving Carlism a completely remodelled hierarchy of command designed to carry a minority cause into political power by what seemed the only possible route: war. First to be announced, late in May 1934, were three Special Sections or Delegations of the Communion: the Special Delegations of Youth, the Press, and Propaganda, headed respectively by Arellano, Manuel González Quevedo of Editorial Tradicionalista, and Lamamié. Later in the year two more were added, the Special Delegation for the Requeté under Zamanillo and that of Finance under the Barón de Sangarrén. At the beginning of June the Carlist press blazoned the imminent appearance of the Boletín de Orientación Tradicionalista, a weekly to be issued by the Secretary-General's office as compulsory reading for all Carlists. It would transmit information and orders, and ‘be able to fix standards in more concrete and precise terms than our press is capable of doing’. The Boletín was first released on 15 July 1934 and for the next two years served as Fal Conde's official mouthpiece and the principal organ of communication within the Carlist organization.
