i| Moroccans Take Part in Spanish War
African Troops
Are Resented by
Loyal Spaniards
This picture of four Moroccan sol
diers gives an idea of the type of;
fighting men imported to Spain by
the rebel commander, Gen, Fran- j
cisco Franco, to aid in the bloody
war on the loyalist government of
President Azana.
Many native Spaniards have re
sented the importation of foreign
troops, and it is believed to have
alienated the support of many reb
el sympathizers. While no one can
doubt the value of the Moroccans
as fighting men, the invasion of the
Moors centuries ago still lingers in
the minds of the Spanish people.
British diplomats arc making des
perate efforts to prevent interven
tion in Spain. The failure of Portu
gal to join in a general pact has
been a disturbing factor. Portugal
has declared she must retain free
dom to act should Communist
propaganda menace internal se
curity.
Bumper Crops in the Pacific Northwest
While North Central states recount their drouth losses, the Pacific Northwest harvests bumper crops.
In this picture, made near Walla Walla, Wash., a combined harvester-thresher is seen clinging to the steep
hillside as it moves in narrowing circles around the field.

Japanese Priests Prepare for War
Drill Daily
for Day When
War Will Come
With bayonets belted to their
priestly robes and rifles over their
shoulders, the clean shaven young
priests of the Sodo sect of the
Buddists engage in military drill on
the grounds of their temple in Ja
pan. A military officer from the
nearest garrison comes to drill them
every morning.
Japan’s successes in Manchukuo
and the general belief that sooner
^ or later war will come has aroused
the people’s military spirit, and the
war party seems to be in full con
trol.
The latest disturbing news from
that quarter is that Japan is taking
advantage of the escape clause of
the London pact to increase her
strength in submarines. This can
be done only when one of the sig
natories of the pact considers its
. national defense in jeopardy. Secre
r tary Swanson has declared Japan’s
action is a clear violation of the
agreement. No official action has
yet been taken by the State depart
ment.
