Belligerent Rights

The latest FrancO-BrltlSh SCH
eime for truce, and, failing that,
a new plan for withdrawal of
volunteers, would seem to be all
set up for an eventual Franco
Mussolini-Hitler victory in Spain.
The disinterested expert will
tell you this is true because of a
single little clause in the with
drawal scheme, under which
Franco would be recognized as a
"belligerent," with all the rights
of fighting government that are
now extended to Republican
(Loyalist) Spain.
That might sound to you and
me like a purely technical point,
but it is really very clever and
practical from the diplomatic
point of view. Here's why:
England, France, and most 9TH
er countries except Italy and
Germany, technically classify
Franco as an insurgent attempting
to unseat the regular government
of his country. To most nations,
TIE republican government OF
Spain is the legal government.
But if Franco had so-calIed bel
ligerent rights" he could establish
a. legal blockade, against Loyalist
Spain along the east coast, and
thereby completely surround and
beleager the republicans until
they submitted. Any ship that at
tempted to pierce the blockade
would be nothing more than a
smuggling vessel operating out
side the law and entitled to no
protection whatever.
(Great Britian's decision to take
no action against air raiders who
sink her ships in Loyalist waters
in effect is recognition Of Fran

viewpoint OF American experts,
it's beginning to look as if Great
Britain and France are quite will
| ing to see the Franco Mussolini-
| Hitler combination win out in
Spain, if, in return, Mussolini and
Hitler get out of the Spanish
theater of action.
Sizing 1t Up
Here's how they figure that
out:
Every time you get down to
cases, the medding of outside
nations in Spain has nothing at
all to do with principles, but
rather with the peculiar geo.
graphy of the Mediterranean
ocean and the Spanish peninsula.
The special points of interest in
the Mediterranean are the Balea-
rio islands and Gibralter. The
islands are the property of Spain
and lie just off the east coast of
that country. Probably major
reason why Mussolini supported
Franco was the opportunity the
alliance offered to base his sub
| marines and airplanes in the
Balearics. 1.
For the Balearics are the mill
tary keys to the African colonies
| of France-colonies that would
pour men and supplies across the
!, Mediterranean to France if she
were engaged in bitter-end war.
| With the Balearics in Mussolini's
hands, and filled with Italian
submarine and airplane bases,
| Frances line of supply from Afri-
ca would be menaced.
| Guns Toward Gibraltar
Then there's Gibraltar, now in
| British hands, which gives Bri-
tain control of both ends of the
Mediterranean. If Germany could
| erect big gun emplacements and
other war machinery in Spain
just across from Gibraltar, and
rumor says she has already done
this, British control of the ocean
would be menaced beyound COM
fort.
Therefore, it's quite natural for
any proposition, even if it means
a Franco victory, if only Germany
and Italy would take their volun-
teers-so-called-out of Spain
and the Balearics. It's quite nat
| ural for these two powerful ma
tions to allow Franco to bomb
vessels carrying their flags, and
otherwise offer them insult, so
long as they figure they can
eventually lure Mussolini and
Hitler away, without risking
| war
That explains why Francois
planes, which probably are Ital-
ian planes based in the Balearics,
are blasting away at ships flying
the British flag without any in
reference. Any show of anger on
the part of the British just now
might wreck the British treaty
| with Italy, under which Italy
promises eventually to get out of
the Balearics and ease the tension
in the Mediterranean.
Then, too, the British and
French are well aware of the fact
that Mussolini and Hitler haven't
got any too much money to throw
Frances way, even on credit
|. basis. They must feel that both
Mussolini and Hitler would be
willing to call it quits in Spain, if
they could only get out in blaze
of glory.

 They, or it, is a band. Freddie Fishers Schnickelfritz Band from Minnesota. Rudy Vallee gave a party to show them off-they're in Rudy's Gold Diggers in Paris at his insistence-and the show off was amazing.
 They are a rustic novelty crew of the musical jester school. All six of them manage to look like bewildered hayseeds. They don't dare look anything else, this being expected of ex-farmhands, as Paul Cooper pianist and arranger, ex- plained. Cooper used to be a radio announced (Wichita Falls, Tex).

As stirring to the senses as a reliable alarm clock, Married Be- fore Breakfast" comes to the screen of the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 Produced by Metro Goldwyn- Mayer with Edwin L. Marin di- recting, the new picture features Robert Young and Florence Rice in romantic comedy with thrills.
 The narrative concerns a hand some young inventor, played by Young, who is engaged to so- ciety debutant In a travel agency he meets a charming girl clerk, Miss Rice, and ceases to be so positive about the marriage. In his efforts to impress the girl he tries to sell her boy friend an in surance policy and the plot goes into it's complications.
 The inventor has acquired a robot which is the marvel of all who see it. But when the youth and the lovely travel clerk become involved in jewel robbery, then are kidnapped, and finally are ar rested, the robot really does his stuff. They are vindicated even- tually and. discover that neither of them wants to marry anyone but the other. Which is perfectly all right with the mechanical man.

Gen. William c. Rivers, U. s. A., retired, also emphasized the need for op- erations based at Unalaska when he testified before the House Naval Affairs Committee on February IL
 In this connection he stated, "A moderate fleet based on the Aleu- tians can defend our West Coast and the Panma Canal better and more economically than a fleet based on Honolulu. Honolulu IS useful as secondary defense and to aid in defending the Panama Canal, but it does not happen to lie within 2,000 miles of the sea route to Jaapn.

 Fisher organized the group in Winona, Minn., late in 1885. A year ago they began making phono- graph discs which sold like Shir- ley Temple dolls. Vallee found them in Minneapolis night club. They had gotten together-from Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Michi- gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
 Together, they found, they could do the derndest things. They still do. One of them is ''The Wreck of the Old 97," with Meals Laakso. the Finnish cornestist, playing a train whistle while the others do a cfaoo-choo with their feet and smoke comes out of Maestro Fishers tall hat.
 Hats, it is soon apparent, are fairly vital to the Schnickelfritz art. They brought two trunkfuls of old hats with them. One of the main uses of hats, which may sound unmusical but isn't, is to keep the hats going, from one player to another, in endless chain while the music plays.
