Spanish civil war has| ‘Gragged on for more than eigh- ‘teen months. A few months ago, | an early victory for General Fran- | cisco Franco was forecast in many | quarters. The Spanish government's big offensive at Teruel, resulting in} a rout of the insurgents, quickly! changed the situation. Now im-| partial observers are predicting a/ long srtuggle, with Franco's) chances of eventual victory dim- inished. In China, the Japanese have had a series of successes. But in more than six months of bitter warfare they have failed to sub- due the Chinese forces. And To- kyo is preparing for a long war.

Silence Follows Defeat Italy, for example, is believed in diplomatic quarters here to be showing far less interest in the Spanish war than she was a few ; months ago. Premier Benito Mussolini vir- tually has ceased talking about the exploits of the Italian volun- | teers in Spain. Now his energies appear to be | directed mainly at diplomatic ac- | tivity—efforts to increase the scope and influence of the Rome- Berlin axis. Significance was attached in } some quarters here to the recent remarks of Adolf Hitler of Ger- many in his annual meeting with the heads of the diplomatic corps in Berlin. : “The German people”, said Hit- ler, “will prefer peace endeavors that are truly constructive im the service of general progress to any destructive warfare”.
