What Next In Spain?

Thanks to the continued assistance he had received from his Italian allies, Franco has all but won the civil war in Spain, and the pending de jure recogni- tion of his Government by Great Britain and France is a natural sequel to the capture of Cata- lonia.

What will happen when the civil war ends?

There is one school of though! which believes that Franco will go, cap in hand, to England and say: "Please, Mr. Chamberlain, I need some money, and that's the one thing my Italian and German friends haven't got. May I please have a credit for the reconstruction of devastated Spain ?"

And then, necording to this comforting and typical nine- Leenth century theory, he will be told: "Certainly! Of course you will naturally co-operate inde- pendently, from, the Rome-Berlin axis and you will remember that France is our friend."

But this pre-supposes a num- ber of improbable assumptions.

Are we to be asked to believe that Signor Mussolint has poured forth blood and treasure in Spain for the sake of a holy crusade against 息 which has long since disappear- ed from "Red" Spain?

VERSION

I'm not frightened-I'm all right

T'S cropped up again.

People who

to ought know better are arguing the question about whether women are finished at forty so far as love, life and laughter are concerned.

....

Rome women say "I'm Forty and Frightened. Some wonten won't admit they are forty. They become the laughing-stock of their acquaintances because they tell lies about their age even to people who knew them in the cradle.

Well, I'm nearing the forties and I'm not a bit frightened.

Soon I'll have a wing of white hair over the left temple. My eyes are traced around with tiny linea caused by all the good laughs I've had in my thirty-odd years of ille. The white in my hair doesn' upset me and the lines around my eyes don't make me look old. They make me look jolly, and encourage people to tell me funny stories be- cause they can see I'm the sort of person who will laugh at their jokes.

Are we to suppose that the German technicians and com- mercial concerns who have now got a stranglehold in North Spain and Spanish Morocco are going to pack up their suitcases and beat it for the Fatherland? Are we to believe that the oft-repented statements by Franco that he intends to make Spain a totalitarinn State mean nothing?

It Can Be Done

The death roll in Shum Chun is incomplete, but it is believed that casualties will exceed a hundred.

In three raids on Lanchow, the death rolls have been less than 40 and have cost the Japanese more than £2,000,000 in lost planes.

Shum Chun was undefended and was unprepared.

Lanchow was well defended and well prepared.

The terror of norial warfare is heavily cut when protection is provided. There is a lesson in the recent raids in China for overy nation that fears war from the air.

REBECCA GORDON

she is now willing to eat her earlier words.

A few weeks ago I went to the Savoy Hotel to see a beautiful little American woman who had come to London ou business. She was a neat creature with an elon face. dark. pretty hair and big brown eyes.

THE train journey from Plymouth had upset her ♫ the day I went to see her, and she was lying in bed with masses of pale blue shawls round her shoulders to keep her warm. When I saw this delicate ittle thing sitting up in bed smiling at me I felt like beating a retreat.

You see, they told me before I called on her that she was one of America's smartest business women carming thousands a year. "She is hard as nails, but a charming woman," they told me.

I expected to see a tall, forceful American. Instead I saw a sort of pixle. She told me she was forty- three and was shortly to be mar- ried to a man she had known for eight years.

She had been married before and was the mother of two daughters.

"I came to London partly on business and partly for a vacation

to make up my mind about my second marriage," she told me.

"I don't know what some women are thinking about when they let themselves slide into dull middle- age at forty.

I never even thought about getting old when my fortieth birthday came along. for I was too busy having a good time and do. ing my job:

"I'm going back to America soon to marry the man I've known right years, and don't hugh when I tell you that I had to run away to make up my mind because I had a pro- posul from another man I've known only two years, and like any allly debutante, I didn't know what to do about it."

TOW I know there is an- other side to all this. There are no frighten- ing forties and what they do to the working woman.

Well, I'm one.

I have worked for my living ever since I left school and I've been so busy working I've hardly had time to keep track of my age.

Five years ago I wasn't at all sure what are I was and had to admit it when taking out an insur- ance policy.

Women working for their living: who think they will be in

danger of losing their jobs when they reach the forties should remember that it Isn't their age, that matters. What matters is the use they make of the experiences age has given them.

At forty you should be balanced. You should have enough sense to act naturally and talk intelligently about your own job. your outlook on fe, and your experiences.

ONE of the world's most romantic affales have

women in their forties. Every time that has happened the whole world has remarked upon the woman's uge.

Married women of forty fear the competition of younger women who appear interested in their husbanda.

Unmarried ones fear that ali chances of marriage are over and those still at work tear that the employer or cilent looking at them with critical eyes will wish to re- place them by younger faces!

And they are all wrong.

The most attractive women, the most adorable women, the most admired women are the women in the carly forties who have learned- what life is all about.

They can talk to a man or equal terms. They have something to say worth listening to and-Just as important they have sufficient sense to itston with interest to what others have to say.
