created an enormous split In the
Democratic party. He alienated
many sections Of the South and at
the same time provided many old
line southern Democrats with am
munition which they could use to
justify their positions In oppos-
ing Mr.. Roosevelt on many other
phases Of legislation.

intervention, was illegally in the rebel
controlled port of Iviza; that this
warship fired upon Ioyallst airplanes
which were recOnnoitering and that
the bombing OF the German ship by
those Loyalist planes was an act OF
self-defense.
The German government says that
the ship had complied with the neces-
sarv formalitieS of being in port; that
it never fired on Loyalist planes, that
its officers and men were at mess
when the shooting occurred, and that
the bombing of the port OF Almeria
was justified retaliation.
Unreliable News.
The first thing that the true neu-
trail must assert is that he does not
know which of these statements Is
correct. And that there is no inter-
national authority to which he can
appeal for an unbiased answer.
The Nom Intervention Committee
itself is unreliable by its very compo-
sition. Because non-interventlon in
Spain is an idiotic myth.
Non-interventlon must imply, If it
is to mean anything at all. that the
nations engaged in enforcing it gen.
timely want the issue to be settled
between Spaniards, without outside
help. Obviously. Germany, Italy and
Russia want nothing of the kind
This thoroughly diSingenuous stu
alton is further complicated by the
prodigious propaganda which both
sides are conducting.
No Trustworthy Source.
There is no international authority
upon whom We can rely for plain fac
tual information. We cannot rely
upon the reporters, because they can
not cover both fronts. We cannot rely
on either side because they are en-
gagged in propaganda. The Catholic
Church of God is involved in the
propaganda-on the side Of the rebels.
Even the question of the bombing
of Guernica is not established to any
thing approaching general satisfac-
ton Supposedly independent reporters
asserted categorically that Guernica
was bombed by German planes.

Spain's Truth Elusive
With Propaganda Rampant, Prejudices Decide
While International Gang Law Reigns.

This column made the greatest pos
sible effort to find out the truth, to
the extent of cabling journalists
abroad whom We have known for
years, in whose honesty and disin-
terestedness we have complete belief,
and asking for entirely confidential
information. All of it confirmed that
the Germans did bomb Guernica. But
the statement is categorically made by
a large part Of the Catholic press Of
this country that Guernica was burned
by retreating Communists.
This column believes on the basis
OF every scrap of evidence that could
be assembled that the Germans bombed
Guernica and machine -gunned women
and children, and that it was an inter-
national outrage. But it does not
entirely trust, now, any source Of
information.
Paradoxical Viewpoints.
The propaganda goes on in the
avoWed interest Of "the truth" Tues
day morning Sir Walter Maxwell
Scott, decrying the enormous power of
propaganda, gave out an interview
which was a masterpiece of propa-
ganda for Gen. Franco. Franco, he
says, is not a Fascist, but the champion
OF Christianity against Communism.
Meanwhile the Catholic Church which
Franco is saving in Spain with the
assistance Of the Vatican is being
prosecuted in Germany against the
protests of the Vatican, while Germany
supports the Christian crusader in
Spain!
Our own official attitude is not in
the least simplified by our neutrality
legislation. 1t logically compels us to
decide in this hopelessly disingenuous
situation whether the German war
ships bombing of Almeria was or was
not an act OF war. If it was an act Of
war, Senator Borah is quite right in
saying that under the law We should
Immediately cease any shipment OF
arms to Germany, with the possibility
of invoking further non mandatory
legislation which would stop our trade
with Germany in many other materials
besides arms. II it was not an act Of
war, then such action on our part
might be interpreted by Germany as
an act Of hostility.
international Law Suspended.
And there Is no international tri-
bunal which can decide such questions
on grounds acceptable to all concerned.
We have total suspension of inter-
national law. and therefore any action
which President Roosevelt may take
IS completely arbitrary. A game is
going on in which every nation is
playing according to its own rules.
which is a definition of international
anarchy. Whatever the facts may have
been in the bombing Of the German
battleship. the German retaliation in
bombarding the port of Almeria has no
justification in anything which has
tradltionally been considered inter-
national law.
But the Germans retaliated without
any such attempts, and actually re-
taliated not only against the Spanish
Loyalists. but against the Non-Inter-
vention Committee, of which they are
member! They did not ask the
committee to investigate. and demand
a solid front on the basis Of such an
