...Spanish War simmered down again last week to a series of indecisive thrusts, first by Leftists, then by Rightists, each offensive gaining a little territory, none promising to be very big. A Leftist drive across the Segre River in Catalonia quickly died out, while a Rightist thrust in Estremadura, southwest Spain, was still 15 miles from its goal-the precious Almadén mercury mines...
With time running out for fulfillment of many military observers' three-month-old prophecy of a Spanish Rightist victory before summer's end, Newsinterpreter Walter Lippmann wirelessed to the New York Herald Tribune from Paris that Great Britain and France had now decided that they want a "military stalemate" in Spain, feel that it offers the "best chance of a constructive solution of the Spanish problem."

Following up the swift surprise offensive which carried across the Ebro River last fortnight to make a 240-square-mile dent in the north side of Rightist Generalissimo Franco's salient-to-the-sea, Spain's Leftists last week launched another.

This week, as the heat lessened, the Rightists launched one of the most powerful assaults of the war. Along a ten-mile stretch on the farthest inland portion of the Ebro front, the Rightists hammered their way forward aided by strafing planes, hurled the Leftists back across the river and placed themselves in a position to make the rest of the Leftists' Ebro line untenable. Some 7,000 Leftists were reported killed, wounded or captured. Leftists claimed, however, that their offensive had upset Franco's summer plans and destroyed the possibility of a Franco victory before...
...Hollywood, Variety. He turns a coldly skeptical and sardonic eye on the standard apologies for capitalism, also on the ideologies of democracy ("the safest votes, as every practical politician knows, are those which have been 'bought' "). But neither does he show any enthusiasm for leftist or rightist panaceas. "Although the fascists would be the first to deny it," cracks Dr. La Piere, "the anticapitalistic aspects of fascist ideology are closely related to Marxianism...
