Abstract

Barcelona Holds Out

Fischer, Louis | April 2, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

Spain is part of a war against the universal enemy of humanity. The battle shifts and assumes new forms but it never ends. The purpose is to undermine and harass the foe, to continue the attack, now with guns, now with speeches, boycotts, food collections, or by addressing envelopes. There will be no surrender. At a dire moment, when a few timorous souls weakened in their purpose, Communists and Anarchists, joined spontaneously by armed assault guards and police, paraded in thousands. The compromise mood thereupon quickly disappeared.
