Following Speech Of Venizelos
Attacking Constantine.

ATHENS. August 81, Monday.-A vote
of confidence in the government was
passed in parliament today at the con-
clusion of the debate on the speech
from the throne. Premier yenizelos
spoke for six hours. The majority re-
port on the speech was accepted and
the chamber adopted a resolution ex-
tending greetings to Serbia.
In his address Premier yenixelos traced
the course OF events in. Greece from the
first Balkan war up to the present He
gave detailed account of his conferences
with King Constantine in the early days
Of the European war on the question of
departure from neutrality, and said the
king acted in bad faith. Constantine's
royaiist advisers, the premier asserted.
took advantage Of the kings illness and
duped the people by persuading them
NJ. Nenizelos, between peace and war
The royalist policy sacrificed the I'm
terests of Greece to serve Germany
NJ. Venizelos went on -Constantine's
motto was Deutschland uber AlIes.'"
NJ. yenizelos dealt severely with
former Premier Gounaris, expressing
the conviction that he was in reality
an agent Of the central powers. Re-
ferring to the German propaganda M
Venizelos said Baron Won Schenck, chief
propagandist, who was expelled from
Greece last year, was working under
royal patronage. The premier corrob-
GRATED his statements throughout his
speech BY interesting revelations taken
from diplomatic documents. His adj
dress was interrupted frequently by
applause. The opposition was repre-
sented only sparsely in the chamber
and did not undertake to reply to the
speech.

By HERBERT COREY.

MADRID, July 22.-That attempt at
revolution which died a-bornin' at Bar
celona last week had three vital weak
nesses, as revolutionary movements
go:
There was no cohesive and deter
mined organization. 1t was planned
as a protest which might develop into
a revolution, rather than as q vigor-
Gus assault upon established institu-
tions.
The principal reform demanded was
local TO Catalonia. That Ulster OF
Spain wants autonomy. The request
does not meet with approval from the
rest OF Spain, for much the same rea-
son that the nationalists in Ireland
object to the exclusion of Ulster.
Catalonia is making money and pay
portions OF the kingdom do not see the
wisdom Of letting go an asset.
Counted on the Army.
The Catalonian deputies, who formed
the backbone q the attempts at revo-
luton, counted upon the support of the
army. But the army is not and has
not been disaffected. so far as one can
see and hear. The army demanded
certain things for itself and got them.
But 1t is not a part OF any revolution
airy movement. The army today makes
SPANS throne secure.
In spite of the often repeated state
ment that there are enough disaffected
elements in Spain to overturn any gov
eminent. Ii they could but get to-
gether. it is obvious that the getting
together process will be a matter Of
infinite difficulty. IL 1t Is ever accom-
plished- Spain is not a political entity.
1t is a bundle OF political, racial and
commercial sticks. into which the
wedges of church and party politics
and Boche activity and dozen other
elements have been thrust.
Americans think of Spain as popu-
lated by Spaniards. But the Basque of
the north cannot understand the An
dalusian of the south. Castilian is the
language of ceremony and the courts.
The Langue doc is spoken in some
parts along the Mediterranean coasts
There are regions in which the people
are almost purely Moor in descent.
These diverse elements do not want the
same things. They do not think alike
any more than they talk alike.
They seem, however. to have one COM

TRENTON. N. j.. August 2s.-Gov.
Walter Z. Edge. in discussing food
prices in New Jersey. as revealed in
weekly market reports to him, said
there would be little relief from flood
gouging unless federal price control
legislation was applied to the retailer
and those handling food products be-
tween the producer and the retailer.
II hope it is the intention OF the fed
erai government to follow price control
down to the price which can be exacted
by the retailer" said the governor,
otherwise there would be little relief
from food gouging promised by this
legislation. From my investigation In
a small way In New Jersey have not
found that the producer is the man re-.
ceiving abnormal profits. and believe
this to be true In general way In all
classes of commodities.
II the federal price regulating Leg
'islation will control the percentage Of
profit to be applied to the different
necessary landings of product, then
