how the eternal question of the Iberian peninsula-land. The young fascists (Falangistas) have been promising a redivision of the es- tateS. Peasants are aware of col lectivization and of their compara- tive poverty. Both General Quiepo de Llano and General Vague made public statements on this problem. ATTACK LANDLORDS
 The loud radio-general of Anda- lusia announced few months age that i've are not fighting here SC that handful of cowardly land- lords can get all the gain" Vague told an audience in Zaragoza (his speech was censored in the Franco press) Social and economic ques- tions must be solved in favor of the peasant and the workingman if ou1 country is to be unified"
 The Falangistas also advocate state labor unions, minimum wages and regulated hours. The program has been supported on all sides even including the industrialists whose properties until recently were in possession of the reds" Now that they have their factories will they accept these reforms?

SPRING

Remove your veil and hold my hands; You come where glow worms treasure lies, And all the music on the hills Is like the laughter in your eyes. You are the Spirit of the Earth, The azure in the sky and cloud, That swells the buds at mornings birth, And clothes the trees with silken shroud. AS winter goes, and raindrops shine To send message to the skies; A fairy with wand of gold Will paint my garden with bright dyes. Why do you walk this way again? You are maiden full of grace Whose gown is made of myrtle flowers, With rosy ringlets round your face. Sweet meditation's hopes and fearsl Beneath my feet are graves unknown Of fairer flowers and birds, maybe Where soften winds and seed have blown.

THE FARMER IN THE DELL
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

The man of today
 Aims to work well, But not like us country folks, Says the farmer in the dell. No one knows in these times Whats a real full days work, Even the best of them
 That don't aim to shirk. Back where I came from
 The day started by a bell, That rang at five o'clock,
 Says the farmer in the dell. Chores had to be done
 That couldn't wait, And we did an awful lot
 Before it was eight. All the long morning hours Outdoors in the sun, We planted and we hood,
 Every single one. Afternoon passed in
 Pretty much the same way, We hitched up the sorrel
 And we hitched up the bay. Ma worked indoors and out And SO did little Nell; Oh, we put in a fair day,
 Says the farmer in the dell.

they do not, the court crowd will help Chamberlain to the full extent of their powers.
 But popular nationalist move ments are swinging toward Hitler. This is not new. During the World War, popular feeling ran high for both sides of the western front. The country was neutral because it was militarily useless to both sides and also because the people were divided. LOOK TO
 MAI EXAMPLE
 Franco's generals admire the Ger man war machine and look to it for guidance. The young fascists wish to copy the Reichs church policy and labor program.
 Italian methods have few sup porters. The Italians have failed, I hear, to create any real sympathy for them or for their leader. Span- iards of education look down upon the Romans, those without proper ty resent their aid to General Fran co.
 Torn, therefore, from within and without, because Mussolini can de- mand and receive aid from General Franco, the international course of the new Spain will be tortuous if nothing else. I would wager most on the Reich.
 In business and cultural spheres the Germans have the best chance of holding their gains and increas- ing their prestige. This was true before the war. German names have graced many important Span ish families for generations.
 I think it very likely that the future of the new Spain, interna- tionally speaking, depends in large degree on the extent of German in- fluence and the course of German politics. Spain may go where Hit Ter wishes-on the road of peace and neutrality or down the path of war. THEY PART
 AT CHURCH
 On one vital issue, the two Na- tionalist groups are in complete and violent disagreement. That is the place of the church in the new Spain. The young fascists insist that the church take 8 back seat. They admire Hitler's Catholic policy and Mussolini's insistence that the church stay out of politics and so- cial conflicts. They would take edu- cation from the clerics.
 The older men, mostly industrial ists and landowners, intend the church to regain its former position as the sole arbitrator of Spanish so- ciety.
 The quarrel goes deeper than po- litics. There are questions of mar riage, divorce and social life. espe- cially between the sexes. I hear that segregation of women and men has been ordered in Mallorca and may be expected on Catalan beach, eS.
