Cool Weather Marks Advent of
Summer; Warmer Now

Cloudy skies, heavy showers and
cool weather marked the advent OF
summer on Monday-but it's warmer
now.
The rains of the past week or more
have caused crops to grow, but farm
ers are complaining that weeds also
have grown and that their fields have
been too wet, as a consequence, to dc
much cultivating. They are hoping
now for several days of sunshine and
warmer weather.
Monday was also the longest day OF
the year. The days will now become
shorter until December 81, when the
daylight hours will again begin to in
crease.

warfare than almost any other
commander of regular forces in
the world have had, threw some
thing like a cold, although diplo
matte douche, upon aerial warfare
enthusiasts.
Tanks Useful
I asked him to appraise the
weight of Importance he attached
to the air arm, which many mill
tary experts consider will be de
cisive in the next great war. But
said General Franco:
WARS won't be lost or won in
the air, although the air arm
will be of greater Importance
in future wars. Tanks are re-
Iatively useful. They certainly
have a role reserved for them in
battle, but it is only a restricted
one"
This reflects some disappoint
ment over the efficacy of airplanes
and tanks, but far more interest
ing was his comment when I said;
"SOme military authorities to-
day assert that weapons Of de-
tense, particularly the machine
guns, have given such advantage
to the defense that Offense will
seldom succeed and that in war
with relatively equal forces on
each side, the result is likely to
be a stalemate."
Franco exclaimed:
81 disagree entirely. One can
always maneuver, and success
after all lies where intelligent
ability to command, the valOr
of troops and faith are found.
From outside came the music
of a military band quick-stepping
towards Frances headquarters in
the Bishops Palace for the daily
ceremony of changing the guard.
Compromise Banned
Suddenly, cutting into the mu-
sic, came the penetrating whine OF
a siren announcing an air raid.
Sunshine cleaned from the hel-
NETS of the marching guards and
bandsmen, imperturable as the
blare of trumpets mingled with
the sirens howl. I asked:
'Ts there any chance of a
compromise, ending in peace by
negotiations"
Eronco exclaimed.
"VictOry will come to us with
the close of hOstilitieS. We can
not cOuntenance any negOtia-
tions for a compromise"
The sirens scream died with a
whimper like that of ricocheting
bullets.

statistics by Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco in an interview with
this correspondent today.
Seated with the generalissimo
in his Salamanca headquarters, I
recalled that the first time I saw
Franco he told me he estimated
there were being killed in Spain
on the battlefield and against the
execution wall-about 1000 per-
sons daily.
New Estimate
asked him for a new estimate,
and his reply gives a horrifying
picture of the war which many
outsiders were prone to dismiss at
first as just another political
skirmiSh, but which must now be
classified among the most feroci-
Gus and costly internecine Strug-
giles of all time. He said:
According to our estimates,
the casualties suffered by the
redS-dead and wounded
amount to approximately 2OO,-
900, while we have had $4,000.
cover 100000 have been
slaughtered by red execu.
TONERS"
In view of this statement, I
asked what would be the treat
ment accorded the reds upon their
final capitulation. He replied:
"In every case treatment will
be in strict accordance with
law: strict justice for those
whose criminal guilt is proved,
and generous treatment for the
forces in general"
spirit COUNTS"
Without bearing too heavily
upon the delicate question of the
non.intervention blockade estab-
lished around Spain by the world
powers, I asked:
$50 you consider 1t possible
that enemy powers helping the
Reds may be able to send in
such considerable supplies Of
arms, ammunitiOnS and troops
as conceivabIy to affect ultimate
outcome of the WARP"
General Franco replied:
81 grant that supplies Of war
material are indeed important,
but maintain wars are not won
with ornaments alone, but with
the true spirit of conviction.
1T is interesting to note that
the greater part of the supplies
with which we have fought have
been captured from the enemy
themselves by our forces"
General Franco, who now has
had more experience with modern
