Reorganization regiO-
nal de Espaila

WASHINGTON, Enero 3. Omitted
Press) A raiz de las generates re-
formas iIlstigadas por el nuevo direc-
torio de gobierno q. afecta toda clase
de economic nacional, Sc han recibido
peticiones de varias seceiones de Es-
pana pidiendo una reorganization pro-
vincial, dice un report (actas ofcia-
les) dado al Departamento de Co
mercio de Madrid. FL objeto de esta
reagrupaci6n de distritos munich
palidades es fortalecer economical
mente las varias regiones que Sc ha-
Ian lgadas en comIn por interests
tindustriales, mineros Y agricolas.
La primera reorganization con-
templada por el nuevo directorio es-
Ia centralizada en- el distrito de La
Mancha, que en- el presente, dado a
los mismos intereses> agricolas, es-
I'll dividida politicamente en- cuatrc
provineias, que son Ciudad Real, AL
bacete, Caceres, Y Toledo. La raz6n
de esta reorganization es que los
agricultores y propietarios de terre-
nos de este distrito no han sido aten-
didos justa debidamente por sus
respectivos gobiernos provinciales.
La provincial Ciudad Real, que
constituye Ia mayor parte de este te-
rritorio, tiene muy importantes con-
cesiones mneras con respecto su
operacion, el valor de las cuales v
euya Influenza en- el gobierno, es mu-
cho mayor que las del distrito agri-
cola.
Con In creacion de una nueva pro-
vincia, incluyendo estos distritos de
iguales intereses economies, las acei-
tunas, el aceite, los granos de este
importante distrito recibiran justa
representation y ateneion no solo de
los gobiernos provinciales sino tam
b.en del gobierno central.
Sc ha contemplate en- segundo ca
so una reorganization en- base econ6-
mica del distrito que ahora compren-
le las provincias de Zaragoza, Hues-
ca, Teruel. La raz6n de esta recr-
ganizacion es similarea la de la La
Mancha, en- que los productos de la
/ seccion central del rio Ebro sus
tributaries necesitan una unidad CO.
nun de representation Y protection.
