SPANISH CIVIL WAR REVEALS DEFECTS OF TANKS
Both Sides Suffer Say Army Experts
(By Gratian McGroarty} United Press Staf Correspondent
Washington. The Spanish Civil War has clearly demonstrated serious de- fects in Italian, German French and Russian military tanks, show- ing their extreme vulnerability to anti-tank gunfire and inability to overcome artificial obstacles, ac- cording to General Malin Craig, Chief of Staff of the United States Army,
"The Notonalists have only light tanks of German and Italian design, both under six tons in weight and with Intumcient armour," Craig told the committee. "The Italian tanks FLTC ruted

New Klondyke
Calgary, Apr. 16.
JUGE airlines this spring are carrying thousands of prospecters, promoters and gold hunters in a new "Klondike rush" in the sub-Arctic Mackenzie Province of Canada.
"The operations in Spain have de- finitely shown that the light tanks there employed are deficient in armour for the combat in which they are engaged. Weighing four to six i tons, and protected by arinour from 0.4 to 0.6 inch thick, they were vulnerable to anti-tank guns of even 30 20 nm calibre. Their trench cross- ing ability was limited and they were easily stopped by small mines und artificial obstacles."
TANKS VULNERABLE
Craig stated that although the Spanlah Nationalists nitained some success with tanks in the curly days of the war against untrained govern- ment militia, tanks have not played a major role in their victories,
