{fear was buried under joyous hope}
ltoday as Europe greeted 1937,
Diplomatie circles saw the pos
]slbility of definite achievement of
l,the strict non-intervention in the
{ Spanish civit war for which they
llabored o fruitlessly in 1936.
{ Indications from Rome and Ber
jlin led them to believe that Eur
ope’s two great fascist powers
would give priority to the prob
lem of foreign volunteers in the
peninsula.
{ Other eountries already have ex
pressed adherence in principle to
the new Franco-British “hands
- off” demands.
I Romans faced the new year with}
lan army of 1,000,000 men ready for
‘Lhe call to armg but despite thet
| tension, jubilant Romans paved theX
city's ancient streets wfth broken l
!glass and crockery in a celebra
| tion almost as old as Rome itself.“
‘ For days old household. tutensis|
! have been - gathered in pilgs and
at the last 'stroke of midnight's
| twelve they were hurdled from
house windows to the avenues be
|low in a symbolic shattering of qld
-things to make way for the new.
