Abstract

On Madrid's Front Line
Fischer, Louis | October 24, 1936 issue

Madrid is preparing for siege. The rebels will certainly try, in the near future, to cut the railway which connects Madrid with its important food sources in Valencia. Already the streets of the capital are full of queues. There is a shortage of sugar, butter, milk and meat. A siege of Madrid, in such circumstances, would be a grave matter. The Spanish civil war, however, will go on even if the government loses Madrid. A defeat in this area, damaging though it would be, might indeed release that burst of energy and determination which the Spanish revolution has thus far lacked.
