AIR POWER
REAL THREAT TO SPANISH GOVERNMENT. MR ANTHONY EDEN'S BELIEF. (Independent Cable Service.) LONDON. November 3. Mr Anthony Eden, in the House of Commons, said that an Englishman with exceptional opportunities for viewing the course of the operations in Spain had told him: “I believe that in the end the Government will be beaten not by General Franco’s land forces but by his overwhelming air power.” His informant had added that it was not the bombing of Barcelona and Valencia that had the greatest effect but the all-day and all-night bombardment of the lines of communication, with the result that troops could not get rest, food or sleep. Mr Eden said that these planes were Italian and German, operating in direct violation of the non-intervention agreement.
