DICTATORSHIP TO END?
PREDICTION MADE IN SPAIN DE RIVERA WILL RETIRE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association j (United Service) MADRID, Saturday. The Government organ, “La Nacion,” in a remarkable article, foreshadows the imminent demise of the present Dictatorship. The article says the Prime Minister, General Primo de Rivera, will order a national plebiscite to be held to submit to the country the draft of a new constitution. Also to be submitted are Bills covering Parliamentary elections, so that, when Parliament meets, the King will have 400 men from whom to choose a Government without relying on General de Rivera. The paper says the dictator will voluntarily retire, as he considers, after having held the dictatorship so long, he would not have the political suppleness necessary to govern under ordinary constitutional conditions.
