But even at that very moment the Official Gazette was publishing a new governmental decree, signed by King Alfonso XIIT—a decree decisively end- ing the benevolency ‘which has marked the Rivera dictatorship for over five| vears and as unquestionably introcuc- ing the methods of Mussolini into the Spanish peninsula. Today freedom of the press and freedom of speech are outlawed as much in Spain as they have been for a number of years in Italy. One is entitled, therefore, to| ask just what has happened in Spain. | What was the revolt that failed to re-| volt? How serious is the actual oppos tion to the Spanish dictatorship and| how strong, in reality, is the position | of Primo de Rivera today? | It would be unfair to attempt to an- swer any of these questions without | having sought as many facets of public opinion as it is possible to come in con- | tact with in Spain. Having spent more | than a_ week traveling through and| across Northern and Central Spain; | ‘having been received by Gen. de Rivera and having heard him talk with ex-| traordinary frankness for 35 minutes; having talked-with his supporters ahd having talked also with the Count de Romanones, with leaders of the Catalan movements in the north and with others of his principal opponents, the Herald ‘Tribune representative is forced to con- clude that the Spanish dictatorship has now entered its final phase. | Character of Revolt Changing. Fach of the above-mentioned ques- tlons bear directly upon this conclu-| sion. First of all, the revolt, which fail- ed to revolt, can only be appreciated in its true proportions if a series of widely scattrred incidents are consid- ered as a whole. The plot, led by ex-| Premier Sanchez Guerra, was not large- ly an “artillery revolt,” as its predeces- sar of two years ago had been. Linked with the artillery (Primo’s original and unchanging arch enemies) were this time gathered half a dozen elements,.to | which the dictatorship is utterly dis- tasteful—including, chiefly, the strong- ly organized Conservative party. { After the Valencia uprising missed fire, at least 50 leaders of the conspiracy were arrested by the government. In ad- | cition to Sanchez Guerra the following | important leaders now face trial: Gen. Castro Girona, who was captain general of the Valencia garrison until the mo- ment of the uprising; Gen. Guerpo de Llano, former minister of war; Senor Vincente Pinies, former minister of pub- lic works, and Senor Melquiades Alva- rez, author and chief ¢f the Reform- ists party. All of these are men of in- fluence 4nd position in Spain, and as- | sociated with them were many others, | equally important, whom the govern- | ment has been unable definitely to link | with the planned rebellion. i An official statement issued by the dictator declared all the “discontented | et Quick relief for COLDS since 1889 Children coughing?
