opinion that only some sort of medi-
alton or tremendous military aid from
Germany and Italy can save them
from disaster. Loyalist resistance on
the Ebro and the losses incurred there
by rebel troops have converted increas-
ing numbers Of military as well as the
population to the idea Of mediation.
Hence the large-scale anti-media-
ton press campaign initiated five days
ago by worried Gen. Franco and his
superior officers Gen. Franco wants
q victory by military means. He said
so specifically in an interview with a
British news agency october 10.

It is possible that the disagreement
among the factions in Franco Spain
may come to head in the near fu-
ture, necessitating a showdown. Loy-
alist Spain is against any form Of
mediation so long as foreign interven-
ton in the Spanish conflict persists.
Loyalist Premier DR.. Juan Negrin and
Foreign Minister Julio Alvarez Del
Vayo have made this clear on various
occasions. As an important govern
ment spokesman said:
I'VE are not Czechs and we have
not got room for Lord Runciman."
The Spanish government is willing
to negotiate on the basis Of its 13
points-a declarationu OF its aims in
carrying on the war.
Victory in Field Doubted.
Almost ~ years Of war permit the
belief that Gen. Franco cannot win
the war on the battlefield. His
greatest successes have been due to
the foreign aid he has received, and
even now this turns out to be tnsufd-
cient. The Loyalists' greatest weak
ness Is the food situation in their ter
rltory. They are confronted with a
tnird winter of suffering from lack Of
