To tell the truth, casional sirens warning the populace | | of an impending attack from the air or the sea and darkened streets at night, it is a little hard to believe that near by two armies are locked in a struggle that will decide the fate | of Catalonia. What you do see in Barcelona is a city in a state of social | upturn, & city where the greatest left- wing experiment since the establish- ment of the Soviet Union is being | tried out, but only occasionally do | you sense the feeling that a bitter war is being fought, and that unless that war is won the great social ex- periment is doomed. After the Fascist rebellion of Jul 19, 1936, had been crushed in Cata- lonia, the Catalan armies swept over half of the adjoining state of Aragon and now occupy a line that runs from | the Pyrenees to Teruel, approximately 250 miles. But the Catalan armies were made up of extremely rugged in- dividualists or highly autonomous so- | cial groups, and each band tended to Carry on its own private war against the enemy, rather than enter on any B.
