Paul. Robeson, who recently went
to Spain in order to hearten the loyalists with negro spirituals, is now returning to England. Hesays that over 100 negroes from the United States, Cuba and Jamaica are fighting with the international brieade. knowing what they are fighting for, unlike Franco's Moors.

Robeson sang to the wounded in the Teruel hospitals, including many Britons, and witnessed air raids at Valencia and Barcelona, which were not directed at military objectives and affected only civilians. His visit determined him to help the loyalists by giving his services at concerts in London and elsewhere.
