...while Britain continues to recognize the government against which the Whites are fighting. In these circumstances II Duce could and did contribute to maintaining the status quo in Spain last week by sending another 10,000 Italian troops to aid the Whites (see p. 23) and this did not seem to shock official Britain. In an annex to the pact, Count Ciano declared, with particular reference to the Balearics, that "so far as Italy is concerned the integrity of present territories of Spain shall in all circumstances remain intact and unmodified."

...characteristic, plush-lined Gilbert Miller production and a fine cast of actors. Chief among them is Sir Cedric Hardwicke, never before seen on a U. S. stage. An exponent of the feather-touch, as the timid, pale grey little Parisian father, his gentle intonations and delicate gestures seem to indicate that he is afraid that grosser activity might jar him loose from the stage and send him floating up in the flies. In direct contrast to Sir Cedric's placidity is Irene Browne's portrayal of Mme Delbar, his violent, redheaded wife...

...most unfortunate, then, that he plunged directly from the enlargement of federal powers to a scorching indictment of the judiciary. The transition was most inappropriate when he took the NRA--one measure ruled out unanimously by the Supreme Court--as his starting point. It would seem to be a jealous cleaving to hasty, ill-advised past action and all its implications. Now the time is ripe for its antithesis, carefully, intelligently, and constitutionally planned reform. If the federal government cannot find a present basis for change--and all avenues are not yet closed--it can propose...

Despite the fact that the Sixth Commandment would seem to dispense with the possibility, it is theologically possible to postulate a just war. But just as this has been overlooked by those who look to the Papacy to stop another world conflagration, so it would be of no weight in preventing the Catholic Church from cracking down on any belligerent. A great Pope could outlaw any nation or nations...
