'However unjustly society is organized, certain technical advances are bound to benefit the whole community, because certain kinds of goods are necessarily held in common. A millionaire cannot, for example, light the streets for himself while darkening them for other people.'

Victor Pardo, real expert on the war in Huesca and Orwell in Aragón explaining through this campaign map yesterday to the Orwell Society the ideological complexities of the militias spread out along the front with CNT,POUM, PSUC and ERC units.

'The Friends of Durruti was a small organization within the F.A.I., and was in general bitterly hostile to the P.O.U.M. So far as I can discover, there was no one who was a member of both.'
