Hitler's Other Weapon

in his broadcast to the nation and to the Empire overseas re- cently Mr. C. R. Attlee uttered

timely warning which our people must heed in These critical days. ile said:

"We have recently witnessed the overthrow of a great nation France. This was not brought about unly by the force of arms. It was caused very largely by the use of Hitler's other weapon, the destruction of the unity, con- fidence, and morale of the people, resulting in the paralysis of its will power at the critical time,"

Mr. Allee went on to point out how this weapon is used to stimulate sectional interests as well as national differences order to destroy the power of resistance. We have seen the method operated successfully in the countries which have be- come the prey of the Nazis. It must not be allowed to operate in Britain.

OUR ALLIES

EOPLE ask: Will Hitler

seize Spain before he at- tacka Britain? The answer is: He has already done so,

It is four years to-day since the Axis dictators, using Franco as their pawn, em- barked on the conquest of the Peninsula. With the fall of Madrid in March last year the conquest was achieved.

From the very start of the "National movement" Franco received Axis help; nay, even before the start Italian war- planes were on their way to Spanish Morocco.

Of the real nature of the struggle in Spain warnings we had in plenty. The files of the Newa Chronicle, from August, 1936 onwards are full of them. Again and again, to the na- tions at Geneva, Alvarez del Vayo showed the writing on the wall. And, broadcasting on the first anniversary of the war, Indalecio Prieto, Spanish Defence Minister, said:

"The rebel operations are directed

German by Italian general staffs.

and Only with our triumph can we ex- pel the Germans and Italians from our soil. If we should be defeated Spain would be- come an Italo-German colony." It was all in vain. None o denf as those who will not hear. In Britain the Cha411– berlain Government persisted in the melancholy faree of so- called Non-Intervention.

The "brave men of Barce- lona," to whom Mr. Churchill ruid tribute iu A recent speech, were not allowed to buy anti-aircraft guns to de- fend their wives and children against the Nazi-Fascist bombs. (Now that the Nazi- Fascist bombs are falling on our homes we can appreciate the feelings of the Spanish people.)

And the Royal Navy was compelled to stand by and allow the Nazi-Fascist planes to sink British ships and murder British seamen who were bringing food starving Spanish (Now that the Nazi-Fascist ships we can again appreciate planes are bombing our food the feelings of the Spanish people.)

10 the people.

1 think that most of us in this island now realise the foily of our policy in Spain-... it would be interesting to have A Gallup test, don't you think?

Alas! we realise our folly only now when it is too late. Spain, which could have been saved so easily from the Fas- cist aggressors, is now de- finitely lost. The Falange, which rules Spain, takes its stand openly with Our enemies. Neutrality has given way to non-belligerency on the Italian model.

The danger in our Island Fortress is not so much from active traitors in the pay of, or in sympathy with, the Nazis. There are few of these now at large; but, as Mr. Attice said, there are people in Britain who unconsciously play the game of the Fifth Columb, men trusted leaders in key positions and women who talk defeatism in the Government. The deci and sow distrust and disunity.sion that they should enter the Such people, whatever their Government was endorsed by an politics or creeds, are a real overwhelming majority of the danger.

Gibraltar is directly menneed. The commentator

on the Rome radio said: "If the Reds had won

in Spain, Britain's position at Gibraltar would have been assured, while the steel and other minerals of Spain would have been hers."

Exactly. The "Reds" (that is, the Republicans) did not win; and so the Rock of Tarik now faces a hostile peninsula, clamouring for its surrender; and the mines of Spain are feeding the Nazi war machine; and a million Spanish bayonets which, if the Republicans had won, would now have been challenging the Reichswehr along the Pyrenees, are in- stead held rendy for against us.

Spain has been lost.

She nital be reconquered. But how 7 Not by humouring the Caudillo. We tried that with the Duce. Surely we have learned that lesson.

But the people of Spain! "This is a war of peoples and causes," says Mr. Churchill.

The people of Spain have not been won by Franco. The "National movement” has not solved the economic problem, Hunger is still there. And a million Republicans are held in prison camps,

These are our allies in this war of peoples and of causes. They have fought and suffered in a Canar which We now realise to have been our cause

the cause of our people.

We shall, almost inevitably, see another Peninsular War before Europe's new Napoleon meets his Waterloo.

Let us add the restoration of the de- mocratic Spanish Republic to var war aims, and the people of Spain will rally in their millions to the standard of our new Wellington,

After all, that would be a logical step. For the democra- tie Spanish Republic was kill- ed by Hitler. It was, in fact, his very first foreign victim.

"Our battle against National Socialism," It was saying, "is older than this war and there- fore, in a certain sense, inde- pendent of it. It will not weaken if England, too. Is sacrificed to Hitler. But Lo- day we feel ourselves pro- foundly linked with those who look on the Hitler-gang- sters as the arch-enemy of mankind of culture, of civili- sation.

"We regret that this Eng- land, which Was the first country in our continent to give her citizens the Magna Carta of civil rights and liberties, which has to-day be- come the last bulwark of European freedom, fails to raise her voice in announce- ment of a new Magna Carta for the new Europe-her voice which could impress the peoples of Europe with more force than any uproar of Hitler's.

"England has proved that she has felt the breath of the new world-she has made internal reforms which point to the future-she held out to France, while Franco was tot- tering, an offer which was. more European than anything. in history. England should. also take the spiritual lead of the new Europe. We are waiting. We shall follow."

Another night I rescued from the night these few scattered sentences:
