...arrangements as to Spain have never prevented either the Rightists or the Leftists from bringing through its purely technical cordon of observers and warships absolutely all the men, munitions and aircraft they could afford to buy and manage to sneak past their enemies. The neutral cordon has jurisdiction only over "non-Spanish ships" and in practice a Spanish ship has been anything flying either a Leftist or a Rightist flag. Chronic last week were such cases as the troopships which arrive from Italy flying the Italian flag and escorted by Italian destroyers. hoist the Spanish flag as they enter Spanish...
Plain as pikestaffs to most European observers were these facts: i) Now that Rightist General Franco has taken the iron mines and smelters of the Basque country, upon which Britain relies for many of her sinews of war (see below), His Majesty's Government are less favorably disposed than ever toward the Spanish Leftists, and this week official London was considering whether it may be "obliged by circumstances" to grant the Rightists diplomatic recognition. 2) The panic in Soviet Russia over wholesale "treason" and the shaky position of the French franc (see p. 17) were major indirect factors working...

But those fleeing from, captured Bilbao along the coast road toward Santander were treated every few hours to bombardment of the road by such Rightist warships as the Almirante Cervera and Velasco (see map). Torrential rains made the road a sloshy ribbon of mud upon which people screamed, died and were blown to bits as shells came hurtling in from...
Last Train from Madrid (Paramount) is the first commercial film treating of the Spanish Civil War, and is carefully blue-pencilled to exclude all but stock situations which neither Rightist nor Leftist sympathizers could possibly object to. Karen Morley is in love with Gilbert Roland who is in love with the same girl (Dorothy Lamour) as Anthony Quinn...
