Two Years of Spanish War.

1t is two years ago today that revolt
Of the garrison in Spanish Morocco
precipiated conflict which few in or
outside of Spain could have imagined
would project itself into hostilities last
ing until now. The fratricidal strife long
since outgrew the dimensions of civil
war. 1t became little World War;" with
Spaniards, Moors, Germans, italians,
Russians, Frenchmen and even North
and South Americans participating either
as volunteers or as mercenaries. Spain's
tragedy, too, was soon divested of the
character of a mere clash of ideologies-
Communist versus Fascist, or Insurgent
versus Loyalist. 1t resolved itself eventu-
ally into a struggle for supremacy be-
tween the Rome and Berlin Dictator
ships, on the one hand, and the British
and French democracies on the other.
Essentially at stake today, therefore, is
not so much whether Franco or BARGE
Iona wins but whether Hitler and Musso-
lni Jointly or severally, or Great Britain
and France control the Mediterranean.
The bulk of non-Spanish opinion is
that the Loyalists, despite resistance
against tremendous odds, are doomed.
Doubt remains mainly as to how long
they can hold out. Some authorities
think it may be another six months be-
fore Franco subdues Valencia, Barcelona,
Madrid and the rest of that remaining
round one-third of the country which
refuses to be conquered.
Frances Italian and German allies
ardently expected Insurgent victory
long before this. They have not spared
heavy reinforcements to that end, while
pretending to cooperate in revived non
intervention" plans. Mussolini would
write fms because it is a condition pre-
cedent to valuation of the Italo-British
agreement. Hitler wants speedy
Franco-dictated peace because, with a
France fanked by Fascist army on the
pursue her purposes in Czechoslovakia
and Central Europe.
Great Britain's plight, in case of
Loyalist collapse, might be one which the
Chamberlain government would have
difficulty in surviving 1t is the Eden
view, as distinguished from the Cham
berlain program, that Frances victory
would give the dictators mastery of the
Mediterranean. With such control they
could strike at France in Morocco, i'm
pede dispatches of African troops to
Europe, and sever Britains lifeline to
Egypt and the East. Mr.. Chamberlain's
reaction to such contingency is that
Franco could not exploit his victory
without British capital, while end of the
war would automatically implement the
treaty with Italy. The Prime Minister
still considers that pact the best bet for
European appeasement yet contrived.
Unflattering an account of itself as
Old World craftsmanship has given since
civil strife in Spain placed Europe atop
powder barrel, the conflict has been
localized" The general war so long
predicted and feared has not broken
out. With peace at almost any price
apparently the watchWord of statesmen
nearly everywhere, they may feel this
second anniversary of Spain's Gethsem-
ane is an occasion not wholly devoid of
cause for satisfaction, if not jubilation.

Protests Leaving
Dogs in Closed Cars,

To the Editor of The Star:
THE National Humane Review suggests
that the people be reminded of the
suffering caused dogs by leaving them in
automobiles in the blazing summer sun.
With the windows almost closed to pre-
vent their jumping out. the heat in the
car is intense. We only have to feel it
ourselves! Better to leave the dog at
home with fresh water and in cool,
protected place, than have him suffer the
double sorrow of being left alone and
shut up in the hot car.

Although every man on our SQUAD

have particularly good days In their
teams first home game of the season.
They are Andy Farkas. our new full
back, and Hen (Red) Krause, one Of

Farkas, whom Washington fans saw
run wild for the University Of Detroit
against Catholic University, in Griffith
Stadium last year, has come along
fast during the last week and thor
oughly knows the teams signals and

there never was any doubt that Andy
was q great football player.
He will share the fullback position
with Max Krause and George Kara

the best blockers and pass defense men
on the squad.
Red Krause should be especially

his usually fine game, it is a good

whom many still considered a threat
for the Eastern championship despite
setoacks in their first two games.
Uncertainty Is Helpful.
AS result Of the Eagles over
whelming victory. plus the fact that
the Redskins believe they are much
better than Philadelphia than the
3-point margin indicated, the cham
pions were finding it dificult holding
their confidence to natural bounds
today.
Uncertainty Of what they will be
up against tomorrow, however, aided
Flaherty in keeping the Indians on
edge. Sixteen Of the 20 BROOKLYN
players whom Coach Potsy Clark
brought to town today will be playing
their first professional game and their
eagerness to make good isn't going to
make them any easier for the home
