DAT0 WILL RESIGN
IF NOT SUPPORTED

Madrih Nov. 2S The political
campaign for the next parliamentary
elections to be held next February,
has begun and promises to be the
most important ever held in Spain.
The fact that both ~ the old larger
parties have split into factions makes
the outcome very uncertain. There
will be at least six different parties
in the fielH. Senior Dato states that
the government will maintain the
strictest neutrality and that he will
resign unless his administration re-
ceiyes an endorsement by the coun-
try at the polls.
