Hemingway, Ernest : The Cardinal Picks A Winner in Ken The Insider's World Magazine

Ken, Inc., Chicago, 1938

Folio. Entire issue, Volume I, No. 3, May 5, 1938, in original pictorial wraps, light general wear-only, overall very bright and clean. The third piece by the author contributed from Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Text is accompanied by a graphic photograph of a row of dead Spanish children killed by a fascist air-attack. Hemingway comments on an article that had appeared in the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune which reported that Cardinal Hayes, of New York City, had defended Franco against critics and denied the fascist rebel leader would do such things as order air-attacks that resulted in the deaths of children. From the text, "If the Democratic nations allow Spain to be over-run by the fascists through their refusal to allow the legal Spanish government to buy and import arms to combat a military insurrection and fascist invasion, they will deserve whatever fate that brings them. The majority of the career diplomats of England, France, and the United States, are fascist, and it is they who supply the erroneous information on which their foreign offices and state departments act. But no matter what excuse the democratic countries may have for their ignorance of the necessity for beating the fascists in Spain, history will label their actions in 1936 and 1937, when they refused to allow Spain to arm herself to fight THEIR enemies, as criminal stupidity."
