NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~


The government is aided, notably, by
Russians, French, and, it is said. some
Englishmen, while the Fascist rebels
are receiving very active supp 9rt from
thousands of Germans, Italians and
Portuguese In addition, there are scat
tered groups coming from several
other countries.
Fate Of Madrid.
What is ultimately to happen to
Madrid, the capital of Spain now be-
sieged by the rebels, is prOblematlcal,
but there are some indications that
a more or less definite fight for the
possession of the city is about to
take place. During the last few days
attacks have increased in violence,
and that the defense committee with
in the city itself expects major action
becomes clear from the fact that it
has ordered the civilian population
evacuated.
A story is current, and has gained
some credence, that Hitler has told
Franco to take Madrid before jan
uary Is; otherwise, he could not ex-
pect any further assistance. Anyl ow,
it is realized by the Fascists them
selves that if they do not soon sue
ceed in attaining their goal, their
cause will suffer very materially. On
the other hand, the defenders of Ma
drid are more determined than ever
to hold the city.
Reichstag Meets.
On Monday of this week Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler gave his annual
New Years reception to the foreign
diplomats in Berlin; he told them,
among other things, that the general
European situation was pretty grave.
and that it would be necessary for
all governments to do their utmost
to prevent a large-scale conflict.
A couple of days before that. Hitler
summoned the Reichstag-Germany's
socalled parliament-tO a session on
January 80 which marks the fourth
anniversary of Hitler ascent to the
post of chancellor. 1t is expected
that on this occasion he will explain
to the Reichstag his reasons for re-
Gently having recognized General
Frances insurgent government in
Spain, and also will offer his views
on the general situation. If he has
any legislation to propose, that will
be simply a matter of form, for in
the Third Reich" it is Hitler him
self who DEGREES what is the law
of the land. He then, often, obtains
the assent of the parliament, just to
be enabled to appear before the world
and claim that he has the solid back
ing of the chosen representatives CT
the people. This is true to the eX-
tent that there is only one party
but it might be interesting to spec
ulate upon what might happen to 4
Reichstag member who dared vote
against the Hitler government.

threat that these crushers will
abandon the deficient areas and
move their plants to seaport loca-
tions, where they can be sure OF
a steady supply.
If this were done the deficient
areas would become more defl-
cient. The Dakotas and Mime

further abandonment.

DR.. Carefoot, while drilling for

Yes. man can live without faith, as

Faith and courage They are the requisites
of any human success. And the first OF these
is faith.
Not necessarily a faith in formal religion

scious for many centuries and which men

Der tracks forecast a new era in
highway construction with the
same equipment serving for heavy

the new tractor belt. Mr.. Tew
said:
"The ability to operate on soft
surfaces, and slip-prOOf traction
are characteristics of the new
track. Tractors equipped with
solid rubber belts can move
freely from the portions Of

finished pavement, thus solving
one of the major problems of all
such work.
