Spanish Wars Lessons
Clash Declared to Have Thrown White Light on
Worlds Class Struggle.

German troops, the support Of the
rich OF Spain, and even some Spanish
people, to throw against an unpre-
pared population, the "rabble," who, at
the outset. though they displayed re-
markable personal valor were lamen-
tably organized and lacking in any
military discipline. Both sides, Of
course, eventually enlisted foreigners
In their ranks. But Frances foreign
ers were brigades Of trained and dis
ciplined soldiers, there under orders
Of their governments, while the loyal
lists have q revolutionary army Of men
who have enlisted against the policy
Of their governments, with no Official
aid, either out Of conviction for q
cause or out Of pure adventure.
Why. under all these circumstances,
has Franco not won?
One is forced to conclude that there
Is still such q thing in the world as
moral force. AS in the United States
In tits, the social revolutionary forces
and the national will are both, appar-
emily, on the same side. That means
an alliance with history. The most
dynamic spirit in Spain is with the
loyalists. For that spirit recognizes
the urgent, memorable need for a
better material life for the impover-
ished long suffering Spanish people.
And that means a realignment in
society, the sweeping away Of such
special interests as prevent the appli-
cation OF more scientific methods to
social, technical, agrarian organiza-
ton. And the people OF Spain, who
are proud, Intellectual, logical and
fierce, as well as profoundly patriotic,
know quite well that no junta of gen.
erals can solve SPANS pressing
problems.
Poets Words ReveIatory.
Nor can patriotism, nAtionalism,
win by means Of An invasion Of for
eign troops, or establish its moral
prestige by high treason. The words
Of the dying Spanish poet Unamuno
are revelatory. He had supported
Franco against the government, yet
he is reported to have said before his
death: When see the Germans in
the streets Of Salamanca I know my
country has been betrayed" And he
was right. For the soldiers were
mercenaries. They were not fighting
for Spain, but for foreign imperial
list interests. What have they to do
with Spanish nationalism? Just as
the invasions into revolutionary Rus
sio Of Yudenitch, Denikin and Wran-
gel, backed and financed by foreign
powers anxious to recapture their lost
economic interests, finally CONSOLE
dated the Russian people behind the
Red Army, so the invasion into Spain
of Italians, Germans and, above all
of Moors, tore open the eyes Of the
people Of Spain and pulled the ma
tional feeling into alliance with the
social revolution. So that to be a
good Spaniard, to be lover of Spain,
to be a patriot, meant for thousands
to stand shoulder to shoulder with the
'rabble"-as once it meant in this
country. before there ever was 4
United States.

against civilians with all the instru-
ments OF modern technology, re-
sulting in immediate moral collapse
and surrender, has seemed the perfect
weapon for nations with formidable
military machines, but without the
capability of long endurance in for
eign war Thus Gen Goering is I'M
derstood to have told a citizen OF a
neighboring neutral country six or
eight months ago that the next war
would be immediate and elemental in
its fury and whoever struck first with
the most completely modified forces
would certainly win it. On that theory
strategies have been planned.
The Spanish experience casts Sc
rious doubts upon this thesis, Gen.
Frances was certainly surprise at
tack, against a government which was
innerly divided and extremely weak.
Gen. Franco himself disintegrated the
Spanish army by his rebellion, taking
with him the largest part of its staff
officers Franco had, from the begin
ming, the financial and other support
Of interested parties outside Spain. He
had voluntary support in some of the
democratic countries-in England, for
instance-and definite and official
support from nations which do not
have to consult their people Either
he, personally, or his supporters had
certainly consulted the highest in
stances in GERMANY and been assured
Of support months before the coup
broke This column has definite and
reliable sources for believing this to
be true. And If it WAS, one may GER
tainly infer that Italy was also a party
to the plot.
Errors by Franco.
One can speculate now whether
errors which Franco made in the first
week Of the campaign were not re-
sponsible for his failure to win i'm
mediately. But the fact is that nine
months have passed. Franco has
not taken the capital, he has lost
positions which he gained, and it Is
now quite clear that he cannot possibly
win unless Germany and Italy are pre-
pared to undertake An outright con-
quest OF Spain with all the men and
arms necessary.
Franco has had from the beginning
officers, trained Moroccan, Italian and

Threshing Engine

Winnebago-Steam from, an
exploding threshing engine on the
William Soluble farm near De-
lavan severely scalded two per-
sons, Bornide Soluble, 10, and
Victor Heinrich, IA, who were
brought to the local hospital. The
threshing rig had just pulled into
the Soluble yard where it was to
be used to move a small building.
The boy and girl were standing
on the platform when the explos-
ion occurred and, according to the
farmer, were blown nearly IL
feet from the machine. The girl,
who is in serious condition, suf-
fered first and second degree
burns over two-fifths of her
body, being injured from the
waist to the soles Of her feet. The
boy was burned on the hands,
forearms, legs, feet and back.

ployment compensation systems.
but the possession of number by
person who is IS or over does
not make him eligible to an old
age benefit.
A worker should have only one
social security account number
during his lifetime, and wherever
he works, he should report this to
his employer. If man works for
two or more employers, he should
report the same number to each
of them.
When a young man or woman
becomes employed for the first
time, he should Immediately fill
out an application for an account
number and forward this to the
nearest office. of the social secur-
ity board, after which an account
number will be mailed to him.
This same thing should be done
by workers who formerly have
been working as farm laborers or
domestic servants or as govern
ment employees and who take
commercial or industrial jobs for
the first time.
1t an employee loses his ac-
count number, or if he has been
issued two account numbers, or if
he wishes to correct information
which he put on his application
card and which is in the perman-
ent confidential possession of the
social security board, he should
address a letter to the nearest
office of the board where the
matter will be taken care Of.
It is very important that every
employee report his number to
his employer. Employers must re-
port the, wages earned by each
employee along with. E, the social
security number of the employee
to the government so that these
wages can be credited to the
workers account. 1t is from the
total OF these wages that the
workers benefits will be figured.
For this reason, every employee
has a personal stake in seeing that
wages are credited to the right
social security account.

car is "liable" for road and poor
taxes if the owner does not own
other property and the treasurer
may withhold the plates until such
owners pay the road and poll taxes.
Many technical points have been
raised by the new law which large
ly affects assessors and treasurers.
Among those points, the provision
that vehicles in the hands of in
dividuals are to be assessed in the
20 per cent class, while vehicles in
the hands of dealers are assessed
as merchandise at 33 1I3 percent.
Dealers must pay the tax on their

AS the treasurer must levy, the
tax on vehicles on the previous

After the treasurer has figured
