Herbert L. Matthews, who for four months has been Madrid correspondent for the New York Times, last week was in London. Released from the strait-jacket of Spanish press censorship, he was able to cable his paper what he considers the amount of help the Spanish Leftists are getting from abroad. Gist: 20,000 to 22,000 foreign volunteers are fighting for the Leftists. Of these 7,000 have been fighting on the Madrid front. All Leftist tanks are Russian, but paid for with Spanish gold.

Rightists countered with rumors of mutiny among the dinamiteros or dynamite-throwing Leftist miners who ever since the start of the war have been trying to capture Rightists whom they continued last week to besiege in Oviedo...
...plans for times of peace!" ¶ "Officials here are trying assiduously to prevent the British Lion from roaring or showing its teeth as Mussolini twists its tail," cabled United Press last week from London. "Within the limits of freedom of the press prevailing in Britain, where there is no censorship, authorities are trying to modulate the openly anti-Italian tone in some leading newspapers. . . . The Cabinet . . . discussed the . . . situation. . . . Authorities sought tonight to restrain British newspapers and news agencies from publishing information likely to incite further the anger of Premier Benito Mussolini...
