FRENCH LEADER’S PLANS REGARDED AS FAILURE Friends Blaming Economic Causes for Present Crisis Predict Ulti- mate Victory for His Views. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. * By Cable to The Star. PARIS, France, May 14—Foreign Minister Aristide Briand's defeat in the .presidential elections, while due partly to internal politics, also deeply involves foreign policy, and consequently what- ever may be now said to the contrary for the purpose of reassuring pub‘lc opinion,_abroad, it is a defeat for those : foreign policies with which M. Briand's name has been closely associated, and in all probability marks a new orienta- tion not in France's fundamental aims, but in French diplomatic methods. The left parties declare that M. Briand's defeat is a defeat for the idea of peace and will doubtless endeavor to spread propaganda in this sense throughout the country in view of next year's legislative elections. But the dis- agreement between M. Briand and his adversaries was never over the idea of peace. France is well satisfied with its pres- he WASHINGTON, D. U. S.

The present crisis, they add, is due mainly to economic causes and with the return of prosperity the wis- dom of M.

BY CLARENCE DUBOSE, Assoclated Press Stafl Gorrespondent, MADRID, May 14—Catholic Sphin went to church today, after the riots of the past four days, in which Catholic buildings in many cities were burned. _Today was the Feast of the Ascen- sion, pne of thé-most important days in the Catholic calendar and a national holiday in Spain. The banks were closed, business and industry were sus- pended and churches thronged. The anti-Catholic disorders appar- ently had ended. Martial law con- tinued in most of the important cities, fowever, and troops were ready to go into action if the disorders should recur. There have been no burnings of churches or serious rioting reported :ion varid since midafternoon Wednes- Cardinal Crosses Border. Cardinal Segura y Saenz, primate of Spain, passed the Spanish frontier at Hendaye into France, presumably en route to Rome to Teport to the Pope on the discrders. "He was accompanied by his brother; canon of the Cathedral at Toledo, and appeared worried and har- assed by the recent disturbances. He and his brother came by automobile from Toledo. Republicans generally blame a recent pastoral letter of the cardinal, calling upon Roman Catholics to elect deputies for the approaching constitutional con- vention who would defend their faith, for the outbréaks against the churches. The banks of Spain were ordered by the Republican government today to turn over to the minister of finance, Indalecio Prieto, all funds credited *c Alfonso de Bourbon, the deposed King who is in exile in Paris.

Consu!s and representatives of the republic abroad were ordered to report on Alfonso’s investments and properties in other countries, the government de- cree charging Alfonso had not been King since 1923, when he permitted Gen. Primo de Rivera to become dicta- tor, and that he had misused Dis royal office for personal enrichment. [ Simultaneously the government an- nounced that full authority to check disorders had been given to Miguel Maura, minister of the interior. Governors Face Ouster, Maura immediately demanded resig- nations of the Governors at Alicante, Cadiz, Cordova and Malaga, charging them with laxity in suppressing disor- ders, and announced he was prepared to declare martial law throughout Spain. Several police officials were relieved of their posts, charged with laxity. The entire province of Andalucia was under the rile of troops. The captain general at Seville was notified that farmers and peasants in the towns of Castilleja, Los Palacios and Umbretes had armed themsclves to defend the churches of the province against Com- munist attacks. The attorney general, Angel Galarza, who Tuesday announced indictments would be sought against Alfonso and other monarchists, charging them with plotting the anti-church disorders, was appointed, director general of public safety in Madrid. Javier Elola will fill Galarza’s old office, which announced that investigation of Alfonso's acts. to determine if the indictments are possi- ble, was proceeding. Refugees at Gibraltar.

Two of the injured were British en- gineers. Unofficial estimates placed the num- ber of dead at more than z score, but there was no opportunity to check these figures, for the riots spread from the raflway shops to other sections of the city and the government was con- sidering calling out the troops. Police were sald to have used machine guns to quell the mobs. The strikers, numbering between 4,000 and 5,000, became disorderly last night and police surrounded the work- shops, but were kept at a distance When the men in the buildings played streams from fire hoses upon them.
