Valencia was still claiming to be the seat of Spanish Democracy this week but in its allied district of Catalonia the official Barcelona censor passed dispatches describing it as "Western Europe's First Communist State." Reports from both Spanish sides indicated that Stalin has now sent some of his best bombers and pursuit fighters to Spain, and that these Soviet craft are extremely fine machines, greatly surprising the Germans who had supposed until last week that it was enough for them to send such "old crates" as the French have been sending and as Madrid has been buying...
...fact of Mme Chiang's having fainted passed the official Nanking censor of dispatches in English. The chief censor of such dispatches is normally Mme Chiang herself.

Angry Japan (and Japan was also puzzled) took the precaution of ordering impressive Japanese military units in North China to move slowly, tentatively down the railway toward Nanking...
...Never publicly performed in England because the censor, the Lord Chamberlain, bans any play in which any member of the Royal Family who is living or insufficiently long dead appears. Last week Edward VIII decided that Queen Victoria is now sufficiently long dead (35 years), decreed that after June 10, 1937 plays in which his great-grandmother figures may be publicly produced in Britain...
