than at any other time. They are not
afraid Of either war or other forms
Of suffering. They are amazingly
brave. What they really require most
is to be dealt with honestly. to be told
definitely in times Of stress what the
real situation is-what 1t Is they have
to meet.
No Planes, but We Had to Win.
I'm this last offensive We were at
the point where we could not stand
still q moment longer. We had lost
in several places and the people had
to be Notwithstanding had to
be done that would restore their conf
dence. And yet we knew that this
Ebro offensive which We were planning
was made very dificult, almost
dubious, by our lack As opposed to the
enemy's supernuities. We knew posi-
lively at the time We planned this
offensive that the Franco forces had
Sal planes. And in this particular
sector We had three.
I'VE figured that with as many As
rs or 30 planes we could as least make
showing that would give the impress
sion to our troops that We were not
without airplanes. Even that small
number can be made to look much
more numerous And so, before think
ing of anything else we did our best
to persuade several foreign powers to
supply us with sufhcient equipment
to enter on this contest. But we
could get no help and We had to move.
At that point decided the only thing
to do was to 60 to the soldiers them
selves and tell them what the situation
was. They were 50 deployed along
the line OF attack that their natural
assumption was that, as In all previous
battles, they would be reinforced by
planes. To tell them that they would
not, seemed to me at one point to be
madness. 1t would weaken their
morale.
They Choose TO Fight Unaided.
For several nights before this attack
I could not sleep for thinking OF that.
In the afternoon preceding the attack,
I went to the front and collected the
officers and men and told them ex-
actly what the situation was-that
they would not be supported. There
would be no planes and the result
would depend on their courage. the
way they would fight. how they would
attack the air forces from the ground.
And I left 1t to them whether they
would fght or felt they could not
fight under these circumstances.
Their response amazed me. The

applause and intensity Of feeling that
accompanied all this amazed me. It
has endeared my people and my
country to me. To a man they agreed
that they should fight anyhow. And
they. did, and you know the rest. They
won that battle and are winning others
and will win more. 1t Is a brave
and wonderful people we have behind
us. And can say to you that, what
ever our lacks are, and whatever may
come to us during this next year or
year and half, this war will not be
ended before that time. It Is true
that by now our people have been
greatly tried. but they are satisfied
with the justice Of their cause and that
they are entitled to win.
"And am not optimistically exag-
gerating with any will to do 1t, because
I know that If we ourselves should
decide to resign this struggle, suggest
to the people that they surrender,
they themselves would look on this
As treachery or at least on US ~ un-
worthy leaders and fnd others in our
places. But 1t will not come to that.
We are determined to go on, and so
are they" And with that, this parti-
culAr strain of the conversation ended.
Wants to Know U. 8. Attitude.
What they wanted to know afterward
was the general American attitude to
their cause. What kind Of a man was
Mr.. Roosevelt? I delineated him as
honestly as could When 1t came
to the American people, I said that
doubted II anyone could speak
for all the American people at any
one time, ever. There were too many
nationalities and too many clements
economics, religious, political De-
cidedly, I announced that I believed
majority Of American public senti-
ment, when not discolored or befogged
by other issues and beliefs. was sympa-
thetic to the under-dog In any contest.
That they could be deceived, lied to.
their knowledge as to this and that
corrupted was true. and that, un-
questionably, not little Of false
propaganda Of one kind and another
was at work right now. Nonetheless,
admitting all this. discounting the
fact that there were powerful ele-
ments-economic, religious, andI ra cial
that were pro-Franco and against
the Loyalists, there was a great number
for the Loyalisx..
also gathered from the discussion
that, contrary to what is commonly
supposed. the Loyalist government Is
not opposed to religion. or to Catholi.

night. What neither denied ut this
point was that their situation was very
serious. For all efforts and good In
tentions. 1t was plain now that Eng
land, pretending to be friendly, had
forsaken them. France, taking their
$50.000,000 In gold for safe storage
and agreeing to return it-$50, 900 900
now almost equivalent to $65, ,0O0, 900,
and which, had they it in their pos
session would win this war for them
had now denied 1t to them because
Gen. Franco had threatened to hold
the French responsible in case he won.
And the French, to escape their verbal
promise, had referred the matter to
their courts. If the courts decided the
money belonged to Spain, perhaps they
would return it. If not, we'll, no one
knew exactly what.
observed that there was no danger
Of the case being decided in court be-
cause the dumbest shyster would know
that the thing to do would be to delay
the case until the war was over and
then return the money to the victor
maybe-after deducting expenses and
depreciation. What rot for this was
. wry smile.
Ceased to Look for Equity.
But, continued Mr.. Del vayo, they
had ceased to look for equity in foreign
lands. BY bitter experience they had
had to discover that they must con-
centrate on the remaining resources
and productivity Of the Loyalist
Spaniards to inspire greater and more
enthusiastic efforts. Russia had helped
them to some extent. But not enough
to make = decisive difference. They
had to make the people realize that
they and they alone could save their
land and institutions and that finally
they must turn to themselves for arms,
food. for quite everything that they
had needed.
And though the results were by no
means meager, they were hardly sum-
cient to meet the constant replenish-
ments Of the enemy. At one point, the
dramatic import Of all this. As 1t re-
lated to the entire Loyalist world,
moved Mr.. Del Vayo to . noble
eloquence. He spoke with feeling and
some dramatic gesture:
Our faith is In the Spanish people.
At times in the past have doubted
not their valor but their endurance.
The load Is very great. ~ you can
see. But we have had proof over and
over that in their greatest extremities
our people are more to be relied upon

held by the Catholics in Spain. As 4
matter Of fact, what they really want
to have Is the same sort Of system a.
holds in this country, where no re-
ligious organization dominates the
Government and all are free to be-
lieve as they choose. theoretically.

BY THEODORE DRESSER.


As If to solve a number Of my
speculations connected with the rival
forces in Spain came an invitation to
talk and dine with the Loyalist min
lister OF state. Julio Alvarez del Vayo,
and Premier Juan Negrin In Barcelona
The meeting was split in two parts.
First came conference with Mr.. Del
Vayo with regard to certain problems
confronting the Loyalist government
during the next year. and this was
followed by joint dinner discussion
with him and Mr.. Negrin The first
was in Mr.. Del Vayo's office, which is
IN a good, old-style Office building in
An atmosphere of busy but friendly
and informal officialdom.
The dinner was in the home Of Mr..
Negrln. That night our dinner was
better than I had had elsewhere and
all was in keeping with q modern,
informal. easy tradition. I even had a
cocktail. The only good car I rode
IN throughout my stay was the one
which took me to and from this con-
ference. 1t looked to me like q 5000
Buick.
Mr.. Negrin Is OF medium height.
stocky. with quite an engaging pres
ence and humorous sense. He was q
doctor before he came to his present
position, and he has now q diplomatic
and worldly air, that of a man of af-
fairs, plus the doctors quiet self
sufhciency. He is about 81 or IS. You
wouldn't pick him out of . crowd as .
distinguished type-he has nothing of
the Napoleonic tyro about him.
Satisfied With the Fighting.
Mr.. Del Vayo looks more like =
German or Scandinavian professor,
and is few years older than Mr..
Negrin. Both are dark. Both speak
English-Mr. Negrin very well. Mr..
Del Vayo, educated in Germany, speaks
better German than English Both
are very diplomatic, but in spite Of
this I got the impression OF sensitive
and kindly men. Manuel Azana, the
president, who came in briefly, is
much older than either-a heavier
man, with = bigger face and much
more solemn.
From somewhere they had gathered
the impression that I was sufficiently
well known in America and elsewhere
to make 1t worth their while to cor
rect any erroneous conclusions that
might arrive at. And was. OF course,
delighted to hear what both had to
say. One thing they did not ask was
what thought Of Spain. or Of what
had seen, but both were interested
to know what had seen. Had been
to the hospitals? To the concentra-
ton camp? To the military academy?
To the department Of safety? To the
front? At that time I had been to
all except the concentration camp and
the front, whereupon 1t Was arranged
that the following morning 4 car
should convey me to the camp and to
the front.
asked about the results Of the
fighting up to that hour. The Loyal
ist troops had Just successfully crossed
the Ebro River and had captured .
number Of prisoners. Mr.. Del vayo
assured me that sll was going well and
that insofar as tho army was con-
cerned they had no fear Is to the re-
