SPANISH MENTALITY
DOMINANT FORCE. The dominant force in Spanish radicalism has not been regimentation, for which it has neither the technique nor sufficient inclination, but anarchy. And in Spain anarchy is not so much an economic or political formula as it is a mentality which deeply resents! strong central Government. Undoubtedly a Government victory would see a great advance of worker control of industry and state. But many regions, groups and individuals make up that Government; none appears strong enough to suppress the others. And a 1! these elements' are endued with that intense sense of individual integrity which characterises a nation whose Republic was bred in the ceaseless talk of myriads of small cafe tables, and not in the mob mentality. It is not impossible, that, aifter the war fury abates, Spain will again see that such a confederation of regions, groups and individuals can find speace and security only under a system with a largq measure of liberty.—“ Christian Science Monitor.” .
