THE EVENING MOTHER OF KING . BITTER RIVERA FOE Late Maria Christina Warn- ed of Unrest From Dictatorship. BY LELAND STOWE. Bpecial Correspondence of The Star. MADRID, February 23.—Unfortunate and universally lamented as was the sudden death of the Queen Mother, Maria Christina, only a few days after the uprisings in Ciudad Real and Va- | lencia, it came perhaps with saving grace to the Spanish dictatorship. In the nation-wide mourning which fol- | Jowed political differences were forgot- | ten, shaken alleglance to th» regime was allowed to lie dormant, and in the en- suing days Gen. Primo de Rivera dog- gedly hacked all benevolency from his regime. In its stead he instituted a new and Fascistized order—virtually a defy and certainly an iron heel to all | those who would erase Spain from the growing list of Europe’s dictatorships. | The death of the Queen Molhi‘r} brought an opportune political truce to Spain. A truce which was broken, | not by the anti-Rivera leaders, but by the dictator himself issuing the most | dictatorial decrees he had ever resorted | to * * * decrees hailed by his op- ponents as “Primo’s cry of distress.” Loses Powerful Opponent. In Maria Ohristina’s death Spain lost 8 queen of rare balance and leadership, while Primo lost one of his most power- ful opponents. It was as if fate, by her death, intervened to lessen the| movement against the government and at the same time robbed King Alfonso of a beloved adviser, whose judgment | he had always treasured and never found wanting. Maria Christina, who had ruled Spain as regent with great courage and splendid ability for more than 16 years until Alfonso XIIT be- came of age for the throne, had never allowed her interest in the nation’s problems to slacken. And she had never been a partisan of the Rivera dictatorship. It is stated here with considerable reliability that only a short time before her death the Queen Mother, together with the Infanta Isabelle, had coun- seled lengthily with Alfonso. They warned that the prolongation of the dictatorship only threatened to en- gender greater unrest; that this un- rest might eventually be turned against the dynasty itself, if permitted to spread too far. Finally, Maria Christina urged that the King demand or encourage Primo de Rivera to resign, replacing him with a political rather than a mil- {tary government. King Alfonso, it is said, wavered. He disliked taking such action against a man whose personal <character he respects. Delayed by Trick of Fate. Again, and this time but a few days before the Queen Mother's death when the Ciudad Real uprising appeared most ominous, the Duke de Alba conferred with the King. He advised most seri- ously that the dictatorship ought to be culminated; that it was time for Al- fonso himself to convoke a new Assem- bly. But while the King was possibly still debating with himself, the Valen- cla, Barcelona and Cartagena revolts were delayed by a trick of fate, and a few days later the Queen Mother died in the middle of the night from a sudden heart attack. Thus, what might have been a day of reckoning for the dictatorship was pushed aside by events beyond any one’s control— and Primo de Rivera remained. But the loss of Maria Christina con- :}nue:hew m{: a beuflx;:; on thg iltua- on here. was a sharp and heavy blow to her son, Alfonso, and it is a loss which may have a direct effect' 8Dy other, contributed to patching up | others, upon his relations with the dictator. ‘Will the King hereafter be more prone to give Primo free rein, or less s0? It is not impossible that the counsels of the Queen Mother may now have more weight with Alfonso even than when m]:“t“b‘e". Arl‘:i’ng“ this is so, it ‘would nof surpi to see the King exhibit, in coming months, greater firm- ness and force in his relations with gmm:e Rivera than he has ever shown past. “At that moment when the King refuses to support him further,” de- clared the Count de Romanones, “the dictatorship is doomed.” First Open Break. Exactly one week after these words were spoken to the Herald Tribune Spain witnessed an incident which be the forerunner of their fulfillmerf. Its significance is far from slight. On February 16 the first open breach which has happened during five and one-half years, occurred between Primo o de Rivera and the King. In a long con- ference Alphonso, betraying greater in- sistence upon his own ideas than he had ever revealed previously, insisted 1o the dictator that a declaration of gen!!nl political amnesty should be Primo refused. He feared it would be interpreted throughout the country as an evidence of the dictatorship’s weakness, He had definitely commit- ted himself in the two previous weeks to an uncompromising course toward all enemies of the regime.

D ——tl DR estimate. | of the dictatorship virtually hanging in the balance. Finally they decided it was impossible to concur with the King's demand and offered their resig- nation. Actually, behind the scenes and without public knowledge, the Rivera government had done the unbelievable and resigned. But apparently King Alfonso did not have another alternative at hand. He expressed his unchanged belief that clemency should be shown to political prisoners, but he asked Rivera to re- main. The King, it was reported, indi- cated his unshaken confidence in the dictator. Once again the Spanish dic- tatorship was given a lease on life. King Adopts New Attitude. At the moment when this is writ- ten it is impossible to state accurately to what this important incident may lead. Nevertheless, it is incscapably | clear that Alfonso has adopted a new | |and stronger attitude toward the dic- | | tator and that he has decided the time has come when he is justified in mak- | ing his own influence felt. In Spain | today, as a result of this event, no }nnr‘ knows exactly what is going on be- hind the scenes, but the path is open for wide speculation. Here is new and significant _evidence that the star of Primo de Rivera is on the wane. If events should suddenly come, precipi- tating a definite break between Primo and the King. the dictatorship will in all likelihood be even shorter lived than | most observers have expected. Likewise, this incident bears out the judgment of many that a Fascistized type of dictatorship would eventually | weaken it and that he cannot afford to postpone his contemplated reforms much longer. One of the chief criti- cisms of Rivera, which one finds here, is the fact that for five years he has promised a new constitution and ncv laws, but that, in all appearances, they are very little if any nearer today than they were several years ago. Primo, it is charged, has always said that the constitution would be drawn and adopt- ed in another two cr three years. He| now seems dcterm’ned to push this project and its aseociated reforms. It appears equally clear that it will be ex- | pedient and the course of wisdom for him to do so. ys Spain Wants Change. In the words of one Spanish jour- nalist, who is not bitterly antagonistic to the dictator: “Spain in general wants a change in regime. She wants normally, a legal government and a modern constitution. We do not want a civil war or bloodshed, but we do want an honest ‘election and a return to Parliamentary government. The Span- ish people do not want a return to the ‘ancient normality,’ which was corrupt- ed and decadent. We want an ad- vance over the past. We want to see Spain with a government as representa- tive, modern and just as many other European nations have. Of course that cannot come until the dictatorship is ended.” Here in Madrid one heats the names of two or three possible successors to Primo de Rivera, whether his ultimate departure be swift or somewhat re- tarded. Many believe it most probable that the first “constitutional govern- ment” will be a Conservative one, slightly liberalized, and headed by a political leader capable of reconciling the opposing elements. This govern- ment, they say, may be one of transi- tion, but in that role it should best be able to restore legality and initiate a new Parliament. It is rather early, it is true, to speculate upon such things. But the fact that such events are en- visaged by the large section of public opinion is significant in tself. As has been indicated previously, it is entirely impossible to estimate in weeks or months the future tenure of Primo de Rivera, which may be any- thing from a few weeks to another year or—if not probable, then still possible— even two., Yet there is at least one important factor which makes an im- mediate fall of an dictdtorship seem unlikely and it is foreshadowed by Alfonso’s compromise with Primo on February 16. Unless greater sources of friction are still at work beneath the surface it appears that one reason, more than this first breach between throne and dictator. This is the same reason which may give Primo a few months more of respite before a new and stronger drive against him is launched. Spain Awaits Expositions. Fore more than a year the chief thought and united effort of Spain has been directed toward the great inter- national expositions which are to be held this Spring at Seville and Barce- lona. These mammoth expositions are intended to set' forth, as never before, the entire range of Spanish industry, tradition and art. The Seville exposi~ tion, first scheduled to open on March 15 in that beautiful ancient rity, was postponed in the midst of the recent politicai crisis to be inaugurated most two months later on May 7. at Barcelona will open a week later, May 15. Millions of pesetas have been ex- pended for the success of these ex- positions, not only by the supporters f Primo de Rivera, but by politicians and business men of every political party and every shade of opinion. The Spanish people have made a united effort to show the glories of Spain to the world in an unexcelled manner. Thousands of tourists, accoraingly, are expected to descend upon the Spanish peninsula ‘during the months of April and May. Their presence will enrich Spain’s industries and shopkeepers, hotels and touris® agencies by vast sums. In a word, Spain has made a tremedous investment in the Seville and Barcelona expositions, to which an acute political crisis would do untold rm. The fall of the dictatorship during the weeks intervening before the expo- sitions are scheduled to open and the rise of disorder and governmental un- certainty would afflict a great loss upon all who have labored for the success of these twin exhibits. Friends and foes of the dictatorship would suffer alike. Should either one faction or the other invite trouble at this juncture it would amount very largely to cutting off its nose for the sake of spiting its own face, Plausible Reason for Truce. ‘This fact may explain why the King asked Primo to remain in power, even after his cabinet officially had resigned. It is a very plausible reason for a con- tinued political truce for some weeks yet, providing extremists do not touch off a violent clash in one part of Spain or another, which gets out of control. Unquestionably, the King and Primo de Rivera and those leaders who most sin- cerely hate the ditcatorship are unani- mous in hoping that there will be no new rebellion in Spain, at least until |after the Seville and Barcelona exposi- tions have run their course to the un- stinted credit—not of any single politi- cal faction nor to the sole renown of the present regime—but to the universal credit of the Sparish people as a whole. This nation-wide desire to have the Seville and Barcelona expositions a tre- mendous demonstration of Spain's vast progress in the present century may permit Primo to bridge safely the next few months. It will by no means indi- cate a further extension of approval of the dictatorship. And even during this period of the next three months the dictator’s tenure is uncertain. Beyond that period it will be infinitely more so. | Few people here believe that Spain will tolerate even a slightly modified form of Fascism for any length of time.

King’s Success Limited. ‘While the King met with some suc- | cess 1n introducing among the men the tailoring of European capitals, the clothes had to be made and the cloth woven by the natives. The Afghan in- terpretation of Parisian tailoring was distinctive enough to permit recognition of any costume not made in Afghan- istan. And when such a costume was spied on the streets it was promptly slit by government officials—a form of protection that was even more effica- cious than a high tariff. Mr. Thomas showed pictures of the amazing. colorful and bizarre life of | India from his place of landing at| Cape Cormorin, across Hindustan, to Baluchistan, and thence through the famed Khyber Pass, altitudinous trade route, where mile-long caravans cree] with the rugs and shawls, handicraft and spices of central Asia, into India.

He showed the strange ways of the holy men, one of them rolling 10 miles around a temple with a baby in his arms, by way of penance; snake charm- ers and other fakirs; bathing in the holy Ganges and the funeral pyres along the banks; the Parsees’ towers of silence, where the dead are left to be eaten by vultures; a Nepal tiger hunt with 500 elephants and 5000 men sent by the King to act as “beaters” and drive the animals toward the huntsmen. But his most remarkable picture was that of the mighty Juggernaut, the great god on wheels, pulled through the streets by ropes towed by a thousand men, and guarded by English soldiers to keep the fanatical Hindus from throw- ing themselves under the mighty wheels. | FOUR SHIP-SEIZURE CASES DISMISSED War Claims Arbiter Disallows Portion of German Appeals Against U. S. By the Assoclated Press. A decision handed down today by the war claims arbiter, Edwin B, Parker, dismissed claims against the United States for seizure of four former Ger- man ships and allowed claims for- four The claims dismissed were for three North German Lloyd vessels, the Kron- prinz Wilhelm, the Prinz Eitel Friedrich and the Locksun and the Hansa Line vessel Liebenfels, which, the decision held, were not considered merchant ships and therefore not entitled to remuneration. The following ships were declared to be merchant ships at the time of their seizure: Princess Alice and Coblenz of the North German Lloyd; Holsatia and Sambia of the Hamburg American line. The_arbiter's decision held that the term “merchant vessel” used by Con- gress in the settlement of war claims act of 1928, was “intended to exclude all vessels which, at the time of the taking, were German public ships, com- plete title to which vested immediately act of capture, independent of any con- gressional resplution and without the nece:sm' of adjudication by a prize court.” : Parker held that the Princess Alice, the Holsatia, Coblenz and Sambia were unarmed, had no naval crew aboard and were privately owned German mer- chant vessels when they were taken over by the American authorities.

The necessity of keeping the con- | tributing public informed on all phasns' | of the work being carried on by the 57| agencies affiliated with the Community | Chest was emphasized by Elwood Street, director of the chest, and C. Melvin Sharpe, chairman of the chest pub- licity committee, at a meeting of officers | of the chest and representatives of the various agencies yesterday afternoon. Mr. Sharpe pointed out that the gen- eral public, through its subscriptions in the recent campaign, made the work | possible and was therefore entitled to know all the facts about the agencies. “Few of you, I presume, are aware of the actual value, in dollars and cents, | of newspaper space,” Mr. Sharpe con- | tinued. “You can gain some idea of its value when I tell you that the news- papers, during the recent campaign, gave us, without cost, thousands and thousands of dollars’ worth of space. “They gave it because they wanted to help a cause that investigation showed them was fundamentally sound and worthy. We must repay that trust by being absolutely frank and open with the public and with the newspapers in any matter regarding our work. They are entitled to that knowledge. “There are still hundreds of people who do not realize the full meaning of the chest and its work. Through telling the public of the work of our! agencies we must educate that portion | of the public. Truth, carefully stated, is the best medium through which we can operate, because the public is fast to learn of any misrepresentation made.” Mr. Street made a short talk out- lining various methods of keeping the organigations before the public in other cities.

VATICAN CITY, March 9.—More than 100 diplomatic representatives to the Vatican gathered in the throne room of the Vatican to be received by the Pope today. Magalhaes Azeredo, Brazillan Ambas- | sador and dean of the diplomatic body, delivered the address of the body, re- capitulating the history of the four predecessors of the present pontiff who had reigned after the fall of the tem- poral power. His speech culminated in the history of the present pontiff’s regime, men- tioning that his enlightened wisdom had brought about conciliation between the Holy See and Italy. In the name of the entire diplomatic body, he congrat- ulated his holiness upon the conclusion of the great event and expressed good wishes for the future. In his reply the Pope gave a short summary of the progress made by the idea of conciliation both during predecessors’ and his own administra- tion. He explained the reasons which had induced him to make ths agree- ment with Italy, emphasizing the im- portance of re-estabiishment of peace between the Holy See and the country | in which the pontiff has hi He concluded by exp! o o *® comfort at the manifestations of satis« faction he had received from the faith= ful throughout the world and thanked the diplomats for their felicitation The audience, with all the di in full dress for the eccasion, appeatéd solemn and imposing.
