Foreword

ll OMEWHERE IN SPAIN,” four Canadians-——Dr. Norman Bethune, Henning Sorenson, Hazen Sise, Allen May-—are actively engaged, Where the fighting is the fiercest, to

saveithe lives of Spanish Democrats Wounded and mutliated

by Fascist bullets and bombs.

Dashing over shell-torn roads, amid flash and crash of guns, whirring airplanes above, bursting bombs around, through storm and sunshine, day and night, the trucks of “Hiszpano Canadiense de Transfusion de Sangre” go, carrying precious life fluid to revive dying soldiers of Democracy.

Science and skill combine with heroism and enthusiasm in putting over one of the finest jobs of practical humanitari- anism and medical achievement in history. Every Canadian must feel a thrill of pride at the splendid achievements of his coun’try—men on the Spanish front.

Canadian Broadcasts in Spain

One of the features of the situation in Spain has been broadcasts, in English, over Station UGT, Madrid (short Wave 40.5m) and relayed over EAQ (short Wave 30 metres). These have been also translated into Spanish. They have been used for the purpose of arousing sympathy in the English—speaking world, and also to secure voluntary blood donors in Spain.

A welc-ome visitor to the Canadian headquarters in Madrid was the eminent British scientist, J. B. S. Haldane, professor of genetics, University College, London University, who joined

in these broadcasts. This pamphlet is a condensation of some

of the radio broadcasts given by Dr. Bethune, Professor Hal» dane and Hazen Sise.
