...highways glutted with military supplies, the possibility of famine was so urgent last week that Barcelona's press bureau sent cables to U. S. Leftist sympathizers appealing for food. Should France and England grant belligerent rights to Rightist Spain-an increasing probability-and thus enable Generalissimo Francisco Franco legally to blockade Leftist ports, little food from the outside could get to Leftist Spain...

Despite a press campaign against anything but unconditional victory, even in Rightist Spain there was growing talk of mediation. Few U. S. or British newsmen covering Rightist Spain have stood in the good graces of Generalissimo Franco's avid blue-penciling censors for long. Notable exception is New York Times Correspondent William P. Carney, who has minimized Italian help to the Rightists, mentioned Moorish troops infrequently, reported denials of large-scale executions, called the Rightists "Nationalists" and described the Rightist reoccupation of Teruel seven weeks before that city was retaken. Even ardent Rightist Carney last week apparently felt...

Most interested spectator of the Italian leave-taking was a Britisher, Francis Hemming, secretary of London's Non-intervention Committee. No secret is it that by this "token" withdrawal both Dictator Benito Mussolini and Generalissimo Franco hope to persuade Britain and France to grant belligerent rights to Rightist Spain. To New York Times Correspondent William P. Carney, however, Mr. Hemming said that Italian aviators, artillerymen and technicians as well as infantrymen ought to be withdrawn...

...withdrawal of the invader. Restore to us our trampled-on rights as the legitimate Government. In a few months, perhaps in a few weeks, peace will come spontaneously." In short, without foreign intervention and with belligerent rights granted to the Government, the Leftists claim they could soon lick Generalissimo Franco...
