IS PEACE IN SPAIN IMPOSSIBLE?
"The War is not only a crime but a folly" are the concluding words of Professor Madariaga's recent appeal for mediation in the suicidal conflict that is des- troying his native country.
There is no end to the records which are claimed in the Unit- ed States.
The latest of them must be awarded to a newspaper serial "The Married Life of Helen and Warren" has been running in weekly instalments for. twenty-five years. That seems to indicate considerable tenac- ity amongst American news- paper readers, apart from act- ing as a good moral lesson in marital fidelity.
In the other great sphere of ser- ial fiction-the early cinema- there does not seem to have been anything to compete in sheer length with this news- paper record; a recent history of the films devotes a good deal of space to serials and notes that some of them were of very great length, but omits to give definite figures.
Professor Madariaga has a world-There was, however, a series of
wide reputation for the breadth and depth of his international vision. He has been closely connected with the work of the League of Nations at Geneva, where he was, at one time, for instance, head of the Disarma- ment section, at another, repre- sentative of Spain at the Coun cil and on the Assembly. The existing deadlock on
the

But for this matter of the in- ability of the interventionists to accept that they have bitten off more than they can chew, some sort of settlement, if only an agreement for partition into Franco Spain and Republį. cán Spain, would commend it- self to both sides.
As it is, the chances of a swift rebel victory have dwindled to nil. The prospects of a com- plete victory for either side is exceedingly remote. It is be- coming clear to Signor Musso- lini that only open intervention on a big scale can end the war. But intervention of such kind might be a little danger. ous, for whereas the strategic situation of Czechd-Slovakia made counter measure difficult, if not fioðse

There is no record that Judge ever saw Tipperary. Indeed, how many composers of “take- me-back" songs ever saw the places they, made famous?

He was born in New York in 1797, but early, fled to Eng- land and spent the rest of his life in escaping créditors and being hounded from pillar to post. To escape the duns he fled to Paris, and it was there that he wrote the text of "Home, Sweet Home" to the music Bir Henry Rowley, Bishop. He returned i to Americž,
again, dogged by duns, and went sa conful to Tunis, where he died in 1852.
