It is claimed here that the Italian and German Governments are entire- ly within their rights in recognising the rebel junta of General Francizen Franco, of Spain, and a League meet- ing at which Italy would again figure as an accused would be regarded here as intolerable.--Reuter, ...

General Goering told the farmers, urged him to give better prices to encourage deliveries of their products, saying that otherwise farmers would hold back their wares and so force prices upward. But he would be a traitor to his people who placed a loaf in the pig trough. General Goering charged.

Germany would be independent of countries with regard to her daily bread as long as the farmers did their duty, he continued.
