Ultimate Success Be- lieved Certain As Result Of Italo-Ger- man Aid.

(By Edward J. Neil. Associated ' Press Foreign Staff)

DONDON, Dec. 6-The course oi’ the last’. six months of the Spanish civil war has convinced the insurgents their victory over the Republican Government is but a. matter of time.

Germany and Italy have sup- plied aid; most of Spain's raw ms- terlals has fafen into insurgent hands; General Francisco Frame. has in place 250.000 men for the northeastern drive he hopes will end the war.

Six months ago the questions were: Which side will win? Is the civil war the start of an Europ- ean conflict?

Today the insurgents ask only: How much longer will it take Franco and his seasoned army
