While deeply impressed by the renowned name of Hispano-Suiza, I take leave, nevertheless, to raise an eyebrow at TIME'S Jan. 11 resume of Spain's current dilemma. Granted tongue-in-cheek journalism applied to stories such as Mussolini's Jew-baiting in the same issue is more effective than open condemnation. However, applied in the wrong place, as TIME did very obviously in its yarn on the use of "moteur canon" (i.e., hollow propeller shafts hurling machine gun bullets or small calibre shells) in aerial warfare, it is little more than an exhibition of Munchausen...
...Duce knew his friend Der Fiihrer would not be exactly pleased by the new Anglo-Italian pact last week.

To those invaders who would transfer their allegiance to China, he publicly offered the following bribes, described with cultivated euphemism as "rewards...
...Nightmares half the night from sampling B---'s wretched cheese. In one dream I am driving with my love when, as I turn to caress her cheek, a tree looms up and smashes us hard. My love into thin air, and I, dazed, behind the wheel. The car falls apart, and I find myself stretched upon the ground. Some one rolls me over and says I am dead, which I want to deny but can't. So I think I must be dead too. An ambulance whisks my body to the morgue, where I am laid on a cold slab...
