KING OF SPAIN
PURPOSE OF PRINCE’S VISIT. GENERAL FRANCO AS REGENT. EFFECT OF LOSS AT TERUEL. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, Jan. 17. The purpose of the Spanish visit of Prince Xavier of Bourbon (Parma) is to instal General Franco as regent, pending the formal proclamation of a King, says the Daily Herald’s Gibraltar correspondent. General Franco would already be using the title but for the Loyalist victory at Terael. Prince Xavier arrived from Rome in December with a proposal for enthroning Don Juan 111, son of ex-King Alfonso. After the union of Aragon and Castile in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, Spain was ruled by sovereigns of the Aragon, Hapsburg, and Bourbon lines (with the intervention of a republic, 1873-75), Alionso XIII succeeding at birth in 1886. On April 14, 1931, after the municipal elections, which showed, anti-monarchical feeling to be extremely high in all the chief towns of Spain, Kmg Alfonso XIII left the country, and the Queen and other members of the Royal Family on the following day. • A republic was immediately proclaimed and a provisional Government, drawn from the various Republican and Socialist parties, was formed.
