Thought I’d leave for Laredo at 8:30 am but as the 4:45 made better connections I just waited. Met Frances Neville, also Mex bound, so we walked over town together – Visited Joske’s Store – Sat in the Gunter Lounge and listened to an orchestra broadcast luncheon music. Very good – Got the 4:45 and met two people there. Vincent Rousseau from North Carolina and  Jean Crawford from Colorado Springs. We went all the way together. The trip would have been terrible without their company. They scenery is boring! So different from the beautiful green around San Antonio!

British Prime Minister Neville ChamberlainNeville Chamberlain made his first major foreign policy speech in the House of Commons, in which he asked influential members of British society to exercise caution when talking about Germany’s policy toward Spain to avoid a larger European war. “I have read that in the high mountains there are sometimes conditions to be found when an incautious move or even a sudden loud exclamation may start an avalanche”, Chamberlain said. “That is just the condition in which we are finding ourselves to-day. I believe, although the snow may be perilously poised it has not yet begun to move, and if we can all exercise caution, patience and self-restraint we may yet be able to save the peace of Europe.”

There are no impartial observers”, Robeson said. “The liberation of Spain from the oppression of fascist reactionaries is not a private matter of the Spaniards, but the common cause of all advanced and progressive humanity.”
