    • Abstract:
      The international control over Spain was established with the ostensible purpose of isolating the Spanish war through cutting off volunteers and rigidly checking the shipment of all supplies. How unevenly this control works to the ultimate detriment of the Spanish republic has already been reported by numerous witnesses. For anyone who tries to get into the left-controlled side of Spain there are almost inseparable difficulties to overcome. Even Norman Thomas found this out when he tried to enter legally. As for, penetrating illegally, the chances are many to one that it cannot be done. Thousands of soldiers stand guard at the border.
