...almost exact analogy to the Fascist revolution of last year in Italy, which started in Milan; both these places are chief industrial centers, where the doctrines of socialism and communism were most securely rooted. It appears that all good Spaniards went to bed one night only to awaken next morning to find that a revolution had taken place, apparently without resistance and without bloodshed.

Every effort to hold together through deeds of love and service, every attempt to re-awaken and stir up in Europe feelings of brotherliness and kindness, is to help build the Kingdom...
