 Suner is head of the Falangists Their dream is rather of Spain modelled on the Nazi state of Ger many or the Fascist state of Italy emitting a king. Suner aspires to have his brother-in-law head the state just as other totalitarian leaders do.
 Suner himself is becoming a power in this new Spain, which will have to be painfully built up after the terrible destruction of over 30 months of savage civil war. He has brains, ability and youth( born 1901 at Tarragona). His father was 8 state servant, an engineer of roads and bridges.
 DEVELOPED LOVE
 FOR FASCISM
 The boy himself was destined for the law. He studied in the Univer- sity of Madrid and later at Rome and Bologna.
 Madrid put him in close touch with his fellow student, Jose An- tonic Primo de Rivera, son of the former Spanish dictator. His stud- les in Italy gave him that love of Italy and that admiration of Fas- cism which were to have a great bearing upon his career. Young Rivera was already quietly organiz- ing the Falangist party.
 Suner became @ member Of the bar at Saragossa and then fate played him another important trick. He fell in love with the lovely Zita Pola and married her. Her sister, already the wife of a young general Carmen, also very beautiful, was named Franco. The brothers-in-law became intimate friends. Suner ad- mired Franco's leadership. Franco admired Suner's intellectual abili- ties.
 Tn 1893 and again in 1936 Suner was elected as deputy to the Cortes from Saragossa and joined the members who supported the con- servative Gil Robles.
 RUTHLESS TOWARD
 LOYALIST PRISONERS
 On the eve of the revolution which Franco started, Suner was arrested and sent to the so-called model prison in Madrid. Suffering from stomach trouble, he was sent to a prison hospital. From there he escaped, got refuge in an embassy and slipped out and over the border to France. From there, he made his way to Burgos and took part in the shadow government already set up by Franco.
 His implacable hatred of the gov- ernment against which Franco fought was fed by a terrible experi- ence in his own family. His two brothers, Jose and Fernando, ar- rested in Madrid about the same time he was, were shot.
 One story goes that they were ex- ecuted because he escaped. The more probable one is that his broth- CTS, who were engineers, fiatly re- fused the demand of their captars that they should help in the forti- fications of Madrid against Franco attacks. Their death has left a scar on Suner. AS minister of the in- terior, dealing with the Franco cap- tives, he has often proved ruthless.

Your softness travelled through the mail embraced In one soft golden curl that made my agonies turn pale and fade to naught. That silken whirl brought back the spring-your mother smiled and angels sang serenade. Your innocence was truth, life-styled to charm us when our worries played. Now that your locks are shorn you seem another part of lifes great cast Your infancy is but a dream. . scene that hurries quickly past. But I-I hold you ever near unchanging as a priceless pearl untouched by any clutching year. You are within shis golden curl.

ITALY

The unemployment situation in Italy is difficult to guage, because unemployment figures have not been published since 1885. In the sum- mer of that year there were more than 100000 unemployed. of whom some were doubtless unemployable. AS Italy is not as highly industrial ized as Germany, opportunities for employment are probably less plen- tiful there. In 1888, thirty thousand Italian laborers were sent to Ger many to aid in the harvest. and re- ports indicate that another labor force will work in that country dur ing the current harvest season.

RUSSIA

RUSSIA
 In Soviet Russia, the industrial population has increased from 12,- l68,000 in 1929 to about 28,000,000 in 1888, due to new industries, such as automobile factories, chem ic a ] plants, iron and steel, munitions, electric power stations, railroad shops, building construction, and many others. The new working force Is drawn from former peasants, and a shortage of industrial labor and skilled workers has existed for years While 1t is claimed that un- employment has disappeared in Russia, the Soviet government ap- parentiy still has to deal with the problem of excessive labor turnover. Workers by the hundreds are con- stantN shifting from one section of the country to another in search of new jobs and better opportunities. They have been known to seek rumored jobs thousands of miles dis tnt and at the same time to pass up work much nearer home. This army of migratory workers has at times reached vast numbers.

economically self-sustaining, have resulted in increased demands for labor in practically all lines. Dur ing the depression, apprenticeships were abandoned in Germany and the resulting reduction in the num- Der of skilled workers is now being felt.
 It Is controversial question how much the professions have beeen af- fected by the anti-Jewish drive, but 1t is undoubtedly true that there is shortage of doctors, lawyers, archi- tects, engineers, and other profess sional men, and that many Semitic men are barred from practicing their professions. The acute labor shortage in agriculture has resulted in the importation of migratory laborers during the harvest season from Poland, Italy and other coun- tries. The Nazi government has de- creed that all young men aged IS to 24 years must serve six months in the labor force. To further mitigate the shortage, several thousand in- dustrial workers have recently been imported from the Bohemia and Moravia Protectorates.
 The last official estimate of unem- ployment in Germany was made on March 31, 1889. Because the gov- ernment considered the l34,000 un- employed reported at that time as the "unemployable residue" of Ger man workers, the estimates have been discontinued. The working force of 2l,800,000 at the end of April 1889, was 440,000 above the highest employment total in 1888.
