Anarchist U n d e r m i n i n g Socialists. Germans Captured By Loyal- istst .

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

HENDAYE. Franco-Spanish Bor- der, Dec. 1'I—'I'he Spanish govern- ment's lone hope for victory lies in a European war, uncensored reports from Madrid said today.

These advices said the Madrid- Valencia government, unable to control the Anarchistic elements within its defence now knows its cause is hopeless unless there is a general confiagratlon.

Intelligent Spaniards supporting the government have come to feel they cannot depend upon Russia clone. that Italo-German recognit- ion of the Insurgents was a death- blow.-that there is only disappoint- ment in hoping for help from the Socialist government of France.

Only the most unlimited conces- sions to power-hungy syndicalists have stayed off an explosion within the government: Popular Front. And the government is impotent to con- trol the anarchistic elements within the National Workers Federation.

One anarchist leader told a lor- eigner coldly:

“Take prisoners when food is so low? foolish!"

A military commander said: "I can do nothing with the anarchist militia. They fight when and where they please. If I should try to en- force orders. I would be shot!"

Hence political prisoners have been shot ui. the rate of 25 a. day in Madrid, 50 to 75 a. day in Val- encia, 30 to 50 n day in Barcelona.

Santa Pals cowinucd yesterday to demonstrate that the spirit of Christmas is indeed abroad in the land and that those imbued with i’. arc no‘; content merely to be l happy them elves on Christians Day but that thry desire otherr to share their happiness.

Despite the response by Santa Pals, howcvcr. generous though it was‘. here still remain many l children to be provided for. And don't forget a small contribution is all that is necessaryto make . some child happy not only for a. day Christmas but perhaps for a. lorg time after. Indeed a child" life ntlght be profoundly influen- l cad. not for the best. if it found itself forgotten on Christmas sur- rounded by rejoicing and plenty.

The parents cf the children can do littie. Through long years of tinemplnymetit they have been hard pressed to provide the mere l necessities of life.

So Santa Pals you have a great work to pcifornl. Do not fail those who are depending on you.
