...their greeting to the New Year, the various Spanish leaders, White and Red, delivered bombastic harangues all about the People, God, Culture, Communism and whatnot. White Generalissimo Francisco Franco had left the deadlocked siege of Madrid, flown south to sunny Seville and was starting an entirely new White offensive to drive the Spanish Cabinet of Premier Francisco Largo Caballero, which fled from Madrid months ago, out of Valencia. Various airmen who flew for Largo Caballero before the bulk of his Soviet flyers arrived were trickling out of Spain last week. Said Chicago Airman Hal Du Berrier, reaching Paris...

In the course of his 1,000-mi. tour of provinces and towns in loyalist possessions he interviewed Government officials, militiamen, frightened middle-class intellectuals, anarchists, officers and police officials, emerging convinced that stories of Red atrocities have been wildly exaggerated, that the civil war was the result of fascist provocation, that no working-class revolution threatened the Spanish Republic before the attempted coup d'etat of General Franco on July 18.
