THE CIVIL WAR in Spain reminds

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
There seems no doubt that the rebell-
ion against the Loyalists would have
collapsed long ago if Hitler and
Mussolini had not interviewed. 1t is
foolish to speak Of the Governments
forces as Communists" when barely
10 per cent of the party supporting
the established Spanish admins
tration are labeled as belonging to
the Communist party. With the aid
of the experienced German and
Italian allies, it is probable that the
ultimate result will be thousands
slain and wounded, cities destroyed,
families homeless and new political
set-up for the homeland of Don
Quixote.
THE MOST PROBABLE WAR
setting exists in Asia where
Japanese militarists await but little
excuse to plunge China into a bloody
conflict. American writer's who have
+ been abroad and who have studied
the situation are afraid general war
may break out in the Far East any
moment. Affairs at Peiping FUSED to

NOUS" The Soviets are more than
likely biding their time and when the
crucial moment occurs-then look out
for bloody moon on the bleak ex-
panses of Manchuria, Siberia and
points along the Russo-Sino frontier.
MEANWHILE AT HOME we have
the prospect Of an independent child
labor bill seeking to strip all child
labor provisions from the Black
Connery minimum wage and maxi
mum hour measure now up for de-
bate in Congress. Freshman Senator
JOhnson( DEM, Col.) wants to save
the bill and his substitute proposal
will meet the emergency. Our Mary
land Senators, Tydings and Radcliffe,
are said to favor an amendment by
McNary slated to be voted on today
and which would exempt Gamers of
fruit, vegetables and sea food (all
seasonal industries) from the terms
Of the Black Connery bill. The
measure seeks to establish mini
mum wage of forty cents an hour in
industry, a maximum work week of
forty hours and the elimination of
employment of persons under age of
Is years.
