...Italian "Black Arrow" contingent advanced fortnight ago, broadcasting their achievement directly to Rome, whence it was rebroadcast to all Italy. Then at the gates of Tortosa they ceased broadcasting. Generalissimo Franco, after the Black Arrows had failed for eleven days to take Tortosa, last week politely left them to continue their efforts, sent a smashing 100% Rightist Spanish offensive under General Miguel Aranda driving down to the sea a few miles south of Tortosa. Viñaroz was the first seaside town to be occupied. There General Aranda's Galician troops went down to the shore and jubilantly planted...

These guarantees were rejected as insufficient by Cardinal Pacelli, who thereupon turned Cardinal Innitzer over to Bishop Galen. So convincing was the Bishop of Münster's tale of broken Nazi promises that...
...into an Empire flying boat at Southampton, swish a mile over its land locked harbor, take off for the outposts of British rule. If the traveler, raincoated against England's chilly mist, has his luggage marked "Australia," he will slip between the Alps in the afternoon, dine in Rome, sleep that night in dusty Athens. Next day he will cross the eastern Mediterranean, sweep over Mesopotamia, go to bed in Basra, Irak. Third and fourth nights are spent...
