...deployed Rome's legions with such persistent avoidance of battle that when at last he was ready to fight, the wearied Carthaginians were routed. In case the mild tactics of Quintus Fabius Maximus (died 203 B. C.) do not avail in 1937, II Duce and Der Führer can always get tough...
Diplomacy. Middle of the week the German Government and the Italian Government stood shoulder to shoulder in replying to Anglo-French notes proposing that further arrivals in Spain of non-Spanish warriors be halted.

In Berlin, high officials said that this was Adolf Hitler's naval doctrine too, and German warships in Spanish waters continued seizing and pot-shooting at Red ships, claiming they did this "in reprisal" for the Reds' continued refusal...
