SPAIN'S DICTATOR
RETIREMENT FORESHADOWED A PHILOSOPHIC OUTLOOK Pres# Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON*, March t!G. The Madrid correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ states that, delighted with the popular receptions during Ids provincial tour, General do Rivera suddenly foreshadowed Ids retirement in a public manifesto in which he says; “ [f J believed that my physical strength would hold out for another five years against the exhausting tasks of the last five years I would not hesitate to appeal to the King and the country for their further confidence, but J am not young enough nor strong enough, and I must therefore hasten the preliminaries for my withdrawal because the worst thing from the nation’s viewpoint would be sudden intestacy. I do not wish to prolong the present system, and J believe it should be abolished. All sound Spanish opinion trembles at a premature change of the regime, but it cannot be eternal, and it becomes necessary to provide serenely for the change over.’’—‘ ’Times ’ Gable.
