...encourage Britain and France, discourage Germany, Russia and Italy with regard to the efforts of these five states last week in Spain's "Little World War," as diplomats were now calling it. During the week journalists of the French Radical Popular Front, which supports the Cabinet of Socialist Premier Léon Blum, launched daily rumors that German troops were arriving in Morocco at Ceuta, only 14 miles across the Straits from Britain's Gibraltar and "within canonading range''. In London these rumors had galvanic effect. The nervous Duke of Windsor's nervous intimate friend...

There was Liiv, a Lithuanian professor who had been a socialist dictator of food supplies in a brief post-War revolution and whose friend was now Bardichinov, who had been a banker in Russia. When Primo de Rivera is in power in Spain they are joined by a gentle anarchist named Alvarez; when Rivera falls, Alvarez disappears, replaced by the courtly Spanish Prince Maura. When Mussolini takes power in Italy a cultivated minister of finance appears with his beautiful daughter. At first the refugees plot and conspire, then gradually make friends until...
