I HAVE never been more optimistic about she automobile industry than I am today. Automobile transportation is now a necessity. Automobile designing, manufacturing and selling are in the hands of forward-looking, capable men and I believe they are competent to handle their problems and opportunities with a very high regard for the public interest and safety as well as the needs of their customers.
WITH the slogan, "The Automobile Industry -- Pacemaker for American Industry," the forthcoming Automobile Shows will give visual evidence to millions of people who visit them, of the strides that have been made by the automobile industry in producing better products, in making technical and manufacturing advances that give the industry the stamp of business leadership and of recognized public responsibility.

1936Spanish Civil War: Francoist troops fail in their effort to capture Madrid, but begin the three-year Siege of Madrid afterwards.[†]
The Spanish Civil War was fought from 1936 to 1939 between the Republicans and the Nationalists. Republicans were loyal to the left-leaning Popular Front government of the Second Spanish Republic and included socialists, anarchists, communists, and separatists. The opposing Nationalists who established the Spanish State were an alliance of fascist Falangists, monarchists, conservatives, and traditionalists supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy and led by a military junta among whom General Francisco Franco quickly achieved a preponderant role. Due to the international political climate at the time, the war was variously viewed as class struggle, a religious struggle, or a struggle between dictatorship and republican democracy, between revolution and counterrevolution, or between fascism and communism. The Nationalists won the war, which ended in early 1939, and ruled Spain until Franco's death in November 1975.
