The whole Spanish situation is dreadful beyond words. On the human side the outlook is appalling, for submission of the Loyalists can only be postponed a short time and general dictator of France Francisco Franco is on record as having threatened wholesale massacres. It is pretty reliably reported that 5,000 people were shot within forty-eight hours after Franco got into Barcelona. He has decreed the "Law of Political Responsibilities," designed to liquidate the political errors of those who contributed by their acts or by serious omissions to the provocation of red subversion and continuing in their conduct for more than two years have thus helped to paralyze the triumph of the Nationalist movement.
