At the center of everything is the Class War.

and the exploitation of the Class War by certain nationa for national and imperial purposes. Reading the dispatches from Spain. from Paris, London, Moscow, Berlin and Rome, one thing springs Immediately into prominence-in an international situation which is full of dynamite It is this time not the diplomats, not the gOVernments who are pushing toward the debacle.

They are getting together, and inviting Italy and Germany to join in a policy of non-interference In the Internal affairs of Spain.

The French government urges A pact of eight DAtions to promise hands off.

but Frenchmen are today joining the Spanish government forces, and morrow other Frenchmen may be joining the Spanish Fascista. Britain is the most serious dilemma, for the victory of neither side in Spain can be to the advantage of the British Empire, But meanwhile the British Trade Unions prepare financial aid to the Spanish Loyalists. The Trade Unions of the United States demand international peace, and one union the Amalgamated Clothing Workers prepares to send money to the Spanish government.
