out side countries the international blockade would be an important de velopment in the civil war the loyalists have the favorable sentiments of the spanish people as a whole however the rebels are in the most strategic position from a militaristic point of view at the close of the talk 30 members and visitors entered in a discussion of the spanish situation led by major collins following the
