LIABLE TO DEATH
Berlin, Apr. 21. TJITLER'S Gestapo (secret police) to-day seized several H
wealthy Germans, accused them of smuggling their fortunes abroad in the form of rare postage stamps. Twelve leading stamp dealers were also arrested.
The export of more than 10s, or
of valuables is forbidden on pain of death.
Gestapo's round-up was the sequel to orders issued by Hitler's financial expert Dr. Schacht, that all loopholes for smuggling must be closed.
They opened mail, discovered that many thousands of pounds worth of stamps were going abroad, Most. It is said, were sent in plain envelopes to England.

Valencia, Apr. 21.
CONCLUDING a month's investigation of the present
state of Madrid's air and land defences as compared with what I saw in the early days of the siege last year, I have left the capital with the firm conviction that the optimism of the entire population is based on sound premises.
Prominent Republican Army and Air Force leaders all claim that anti-Fascist Spain has now more than a reasonable chance of putting its new policy of attack into successful operation.
