The present Romanones regime is
broad in its viewpoint, and 1t has the
complete backing of King Alfonso
who consented to the selection of a
strict party government after the
coalitionists had failed utterly to set
tie the vexing Catalonian problems
and when the growth of the repub-
lican regime threatened chaos.
AS a matter of fact the present
Spanish regime. though desiring to
retain prevailing forms. declares that
the issues propounded by those seek

republic, can be fully carried out by

The Romanones ministry has in
creased confidence of the people that

with the retention Of ancient mo-

Mr.. Marburg said the league OF ma

powers of the world--exciuding, until
they have repented, the central pow
ers-the secondary powers and the
A. B. C nations of South America.
He declared that countries which can
not preserve order in their own DOT
tiers would hardly add strength to
<fhe proposed league.
Some of the Latin American ma
tions-notably Mexico-have shown
complete incapacity for self-govern-
1nent" said Mr.. Marburg. 1T Is only
when a dictator like the late Porhrlo
Diaz took possession of the reins of
government and threw the constitu-

were able to enjoy orderly admins
