Ha circulado profusamente en-

FL autor, Luis Martin Chauf-
fer, es un creyente catolico prac-
ticante, que pone TODD su senti-
miento religioso al servicio de la
verdad, que no admite que csc
sentimiento Sc ponga al servicio
de ideas que rechaza ell verdadero
cristianismo.
Sc pronuncia contra la union
del cristianismo Y de la Iglesia
con la rebellion fascista en- Espa-

"Es un verdadero sacrilegio-
dice-que Franco trate de presen-
tarnos a CristO a su lado, que in

tail stocks for Christmas are

quantity and are considerably less
than last year in assortment and

turn into a race between war
swollen purchasing power and
war-depleted stocks, with Gus
