...Italy secretly sold Spanish Insurgent Generalissimo Franco's navy two 1937-built submarines and four old destroyers in 1938, the Falco, Aquila, Guglielmo Pepo, Alessandro Poerio...
Gone from the international scene was Eduard Benes, for 20 years Europe's "Smartest Little Statesman." Last President of free Czechoslovakia, he was now a sick exile from the country he helped found. Pious Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, Man of 1937, was forced to retreat to a "New" West China, where he faced the possibility of becoming only a respectable figurehead in an enveloping Communist movement. If Francisco Franco had won the Spanish Civil War after his great spring drive, he might well have been Man-of-the-Year timber. But victory still eluded the Generalissimo and war weariness...
Harold Goodman. British vice consul at San Sebastian in Rightist Spain, arrived at the border town of Trim last week on his way to France.

The Republic found him guilty of high treason, confiscated his properties, ordered his immediate arrest should he ever be caught in Spain again...
Many a missionary last week, and many a Christian with the full meaning of the Nativity in his heart, understood the Christmas message which Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his wife sent their Christian friends in the U. S. Wrote these pre-eminent products of Christian missions: "There lies upon us and, we presume, upon you also, a great weight of care which religion alone can teach us to bear worthily. . . . Our religion teaches us that sin is immeasurably a greater evil than suffering. . . . Our people ... are being purified and uplifted by their present trials. . . . War is brutal...
