ed, that only very small percentage
of the victims could be identified. And
these murders are committed by fas-
cists who time and again proclaim
that they fight in defense of the
church and of the Christian ideals!
Since the days of the World war
when London and Paris were bonn
barded from the air, nothing like the
wanton killing of anguished women
and playing children in the streets
of Madrid has been seen.
While trying to undermine the
moral of the Madrid defenders the
rebel armies are drawing closer and
closer to the city, and it seems that
they have succeeded in cutting of
nearly all railroad and highway lines
of communication; not quite all
that becomes evident from the fact,
Or, one should say. the apparent fact,
that supplies from the outside con-
tinue to reach the city. Some pes
simistic observers are of the opinion
that the siege may last for several
weeks yet; others, less sure of that,
eel that Madrid will surrender with
in few days-surrender or make a
decisive counter-attack on the rebels.
Alliances.
No serious international complied
tions have yet developed from the
Spanish civil war; there were warn
ings that they might come about
warnings a short time ago when Rus
STA accused Germany, Italy and Portu-
gal of having violated the non-inter-
vention agreement, and when these
powers in return charged Russia with
having done the very same thing.
Not unconnected with the Spanish
situation, and still to some extent in
dependent thereof, are some of the
diplomatic fluctuations recently not
iced in the Old World.
On a former occasion attention has
here been called to the fact that Aus
tria, Germany and Italy seem to be
laying the foundation for a new al
lance structure, chiefly in the hope
of offsetting the effect of the Franco
Russian alliance.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BIZ GEORG STRANDVOLD

Greater resistance than expected is
being shown by the defenders OF
Madrid against the fascist rebels who
are besieging the Spanish capital.
and the explanation is alleged to lie
in the circumstance that foreign sup
plies-foodstuffs as we'll as arms and
enthusiastically have reached the
city. While nothing definite is be-
ing said about the sources of supplies,
it is quite openly limited that most OF
them are Russian-a suppositiOn that
sounds plausible because the Soviet
government recently declared that it
could not adhere to the international
non-intervention agreement as long as
it was being violated by other powers
for the benefit of the rebels.
One also hears stories of American
airplanes having been shipped to the
Spanish government as we'll as to the
rebels, but no charge is preferred
against the United States on that
ground, for this country has not been
a party to the non-intervention agree
ment; Washington authorities have,
however. suggested to American eX-
porters that it might be wise to abb
stain from sending potential war
equipment to Spain for the time he
ing.
BOmbardmentS.
How long Madrid will be able to
withstand the siege is, even consider
ing aid that NAV have reached the
city, problematical-e especially now
that the rebels have begun to use
airplanes for bombing the capital.
Four days in succession bombs were
fired from the air down upon suburbs
of Madrid, and the world was horri-
fled to learn that women and children
were mercilessly killed-by men of
their own nation. So completely were
they obliterated, SO terribly mutilat-

Signor Mussolini, possibly because
the London government considers him

tinued fascist rule, must be always
kept in a state of emotional paroxysm
and super-patriotic Mysteries.
MussOlini could not resist the temp
tation to hold forth on the subject
of peace; it is one of his favorite
themes, and it always is expOunded
in the same words: 1.-The idea of
permanent peace and disarmament is
absurd. We Italian fascists believe
in peace, but only in an armed peace.
We have no faith in collective Sc
curity. for we feel that we as a ma

countries, to do that for u.s."
u. s. Election.
European comments upon the re-
election of Franklin d. Roosevelt as
president of the United States are
favorable because they reflect the
opinion that foreign policy of good
will and common sense will be con-
tinued uninterruptedly; the satisfac-
ton expressed in connection with the
administration attitude toward other
countries has, now and then, been
tempered with misgivings about the
occasional militarism that asserts it.

the whole, Europe is well pleased

date-that japan either is planning
or already has taken steps in the di-
rection of, an alliance with Germany
and Italy. These three countries
would then form a strong unit COM
mitted to undying hatred of Soviet
Russia.
This rumor Immediately called forth
another. namely, that Russia, ALREADY
closely allied with France, is negoti-
ating an alliance with China; the
interesting detail is added that China
has promised to abandon her fight
| against the communists within her
own borders, in return for pledge
of Russian aid against Japan-should
that emergency again arise.
The lines-if these reports are true
are clearly drawn: In Europe Ger
many and Italy are to watch, if neces-
sary to war on, Russia whose AsiatiC
borders are to be taken care of by
Japan. Russia's European position
would be strengthened by the alliance
with France and by Czecho-Slovakia
and in Asia her influence would be
stimulated by an understanding with
China. Whether these alignments are
facts or merely plans, one cannot yet
say definitely, but the mere know
ledge that they are being considered
and discussed by responsible diplo-
mats is enough to set one thinking
dire thoughts.
