During Ohio's yesteryears the
forests were SO swampv that
women could scarcely walk to
church or to other gatherings in
their pretty footwear. So instead
they wore the rough heavy shoes
used by the menfolk. Close to their
destination they would deposit the
rough shoes in a fence corner or
some other nearby place and put
IN their dainty shoes to wear IN

be Q parallel with events In Russia
In 1917, but historical parallels are
proverbially dangerous and this one
misses the point at the outset. The
workers organizations here are far
from trying to overthrow the legally
elected government, of which they are
the most loyal supporters. Both IN
Barcelona and throughout Spain the
revolutionary movement was begun by
Fascists.
The difference between Catalonia and
Russia was strongly emphasized to me
by Senior Garcia Oliver, q sturdy young
man in his early sos, wearing militia
uniform with q Sam Brown belt and
pistol on his hip. The scene was
reminiscent of early revolutionary days
in Petrograd. The street outside the
"Capitania" and the courtyard was a
furry of motor cars decked In varie-
gated Tags and the inscriptions Of diff
ferent political groups. The letters
were more numerous and more be-
wildering than anything the New Deal
ever invented in America. There were
the red-and- black flags Of the Anar-
chists, the red-and-yellow stripes Of
independent Catalonia, the red. violet
and yellow of the Spanish Republic, and
many others.

At the entrances to the building were
patrols of militia with rifles and pistols,
and In the anteroom of Senior divers

to me: "Our position is exactly opposite
to that of the Bolsheviks in November,
1917. They seized power with a pro-
gram of social revolution which knew
no limits. On us, power was thrust,
but we have no such program. Our
only struggle is against excessive action
by the ultra privileged classes, the
great landlords, the capitalists and the
clergy, which finds armed expression in
fascism. We have beaten fascism and
its privileges are q thing of the past
which will not return. That, however,
does not mean we shall initiate the
Bolsheviks in racing toward an impos-
sible Utopia.

Galatians, are intensely individualistic

8y Radio to The Star.
BARCELONA, August 81 (N.A.N.A).
The backbone Of Catalonian re-
eistance to the Fascist rebellion Is
the War Committee of the Anti
Fascist Militia, which has been in
trusted by the government with SUI
preme authority over military and
civil life in the whole province.
Travellers by train or road must OBJ
tain passes from the local branch OF
the militia before they can enter
Catalonia. The militia maintains
order In towns and in the country
and controls the services that supply
transport and, last but not least. it
conducts military operations on the
different fronts.
Today your correspondent visited
the headquarters of the War Commit
tee in a huge. squat building called
the Capitania. This was formerly
occupied by the military governor
OF Catalonia and dominates the
Barcelona sea front. I talked with
the two principal representative"
of the committee-they refused to be
called leaders. They are Garcia
Oliver, who represents the Anarcho-
Syndicalists. and Jaime Miravitlles of
the Catalan national party. This
party is the most numerous section
of the Catalan Popular Front, but the
Anarcho- Syndicalists are the best
organized of the Popular Fronts COM
ponent parts. There is q third group
represented on the War Committee
which also includes individuals not
representing any party, experts in
military or other affairs, and govern
ment delegates, namely, the United
Workers, ranging from 100 per cent
Communists to right wing Socialists.
1t may be gathered from the fore
going, and accurately, that the power
In Catalonia is in the hands of the
workers and will stay there, as their
representatives declare with uncom-
promising conviction. The reason they
give is that the Fascist revolt in Bar
celonia was crushed not by loyal
troops of the Civil Guard, but by
the combined forces of armed workers
and militia.
In 1884 a similar Fascist coup sue
ceeded in Barcelona because the petit
bourgeois government refused to give
the workers arms. Bloody repression
of the labor movement followed, but
the victory of the Popular Front in
last February's election brought in
government sufficiently alive to the
Fascist danger to make certain that
arms were available at critical mo-
nnent
Almost overnight the militia be-
came the dominant power. 1t alb

and the Civil Guard and, with sur

weeks ago that he believed the attitude
Of the peasants and local population
would play an equally important role
In Spain.
Senior Miravitlles showed the same
entire and patiently sincere confidence
as did Senior Oliver In the issue Of
the civil war, not only in Catalonia,
but in the rest Of Spain. although he
admitted it might be long time be-
fore the rebellion was finally liqui.

lonian regime was rather q matter Of
equilibrium among active committees
than one of leaders," and he pre-
dicted that Spain was heading toward
a federated system of q number Of
highly autonomous regions.
Our aim here" he concluded, "is

control Of the masses which the Boil
sheviks have developed. We respect
property and business except in cases
where these are used against us BY our
enemies. Unless compelled by the
hostility Of sabotage, we prefer control
to appropriation"
Similar stress was laid on individual
ism by Senior Miravitlles, extreme Left
representative Of the Catalan party,
who has been in prison seven times in
his 20 years.
Senior Miravitlles said to me: I'VE
