CIVILIZATION MENACED
BY SPANISH SAVAGERY
The airplane bombings of Madrid
ought to make it perfectly clear, by
now, that that kind of warfare is
an ugly, inhuman, and unrelieved
throwback to absolute savagery.
No plea of military necessity can
excuse this long-continued bam-
bardment of a populous city. The
military mind which demands such
measures is the sort of mind that
sees in every becj-ridden cripple,
every baby in arms, every house-
wife, and every school child an en-
emy as important as the soldier at
the front.
For it is obvious that when an
army showers flame and explosives
on a city, as the rebel army has
been showering them on Madrid, it
Is out to break, by any means, the
populace’s will to resistance.
To that end it can count the mur-
der of an infant, the burning of a
hospital full of expectant mothers,
or the destruction of a school build-
ing and its pupils as an achievement
equal to the capture of a trench or
the destruction of an airdrome.
• * *
It may be that this frightful
philosophy can exist only in a bit-
ter civil war, where to the ordinary
brutality of war there is added a
fierce personal hatred, a bias which
makes the opposition look like fiends
against whom any form of fright-
fulness is permissible.
But even there the excuse is a
poor one. For warfare of this kind
is the fruit of a mental attitude
which can have no place in a world
calling itself civilized. The mere
existence of armies and governments
which can fight in this way is a
threat to the well-being of the en-
tire world.
There has been a good deal of
talk about the “collapse of civiliza-
tion” which another war would
bring. That collapse would not come
through the physical destruction of
towns, factories, and transportation
systems, or through the mere total
of violent deaths. It would come
through this resort to barbarism, of
which the assault on Madrid is so
glaring an example.
For a world which fights like this
is not civilized. It is on a level with
the ancient world in which Assyrian
armies put the inhabitants to the
sword after capturing a city. The
only difference would be that the
modern world put them to the
sword before captturing the city\
not afterward.
* * *
And beyond all tfcat — how Insane
this -ebel procedure is, anyway! The
rebels hope to govern Spain, some
day. Madrid is Spain’s greatest city.
How can they hope to get anything

remotely resembling loyalty, or even
tolerance, from a city they have
repeatedly bombed? Human memor-
ies are not so short as all that.
The war in Spain may end in
rebel victory, and it may not. That,
at the moment, is not the point.
The point is that savagery has
been loosed which, If not disavowed
and discarded by the conscience of
mankind, means the beginning of
the end of European civilization.

court’s decision was evidence of a
new division on the high bench.
Action Unexpected
Last session the division was fre-
quently six tej three against New
Deal legislation, and on other simi-
lar issues. Justice Stone, who was
absent today because of dysentery,
has usually voted with the court
finority, which led many to believe
he would have made the vote today
five to four for the law.
The court’s decision today was un-
expected and was made possible by
an even vote. If a formal decision
had been written it would not have
been announced before December 7.
The court merely listed the titles
of the cases involving the act and
added:
“The judgment in these cases are
severally affirmed by an equally
divided court.”
