The writer quotes an unnamed in- tellectual as saying “The only chance for the lvation of Spain lies in the hope that Alfonso will ad- | dicate in favor of his third son| (Prince Juan, 13 ymr-om) with Queen Victoria as regént until the prince attains his majority. The | (a gran hter of the late | Queen Victoria of Gmeat Britain) is the only popular figure left in, th country.” Liberty Brit a Mockery. correspondent asserts that justice and liberty are mere mockery in the Spain of today. Buse iness is becoming stagnant; Primo De Rivera is pressing hard for money and imposing fines right and left. The people, restless owing to tax- ation, who base their hopes on reap- ing benefit from the campaign in Morocco are doomed, as there is au- thoritative information that Primo De Rivera is negotiating with nn‘ American group for the sale of the Moroccan concessions. This, he says, | is why the premier or a ministerial representative is going to America. It is predicted by the corr Qr\on-‘ dent that within a month Spain will be plunged into great trouble. He | says Premier Primo De Rivera is losing popularity with the rank and file of the army and that the king's position is most unenviable and he cannot longer count upon the sup- | port of a majority of his subject Victory, in the end, will go to the man who is able to ®*muster the stror force, say: the correspon- dent, but it is imposs ble to predict who this man will be.
