HE WILL WITHDRAW
Says He Hopes to Quit Poll
tics and Resume His Mill
tary Career.
BY The Associated Press.

MADRID, September 2S. Gen.
Primo de Rivera. the premier-dictator
of Spain, announces that he will with
draw from politics and reassume his
| military career as soon as a govern
ment is established through the Pa
triotic Union. He said that no one
| could be surprised that after three
years of absence from his home and
family that he longed to return to
them. This longing, however, would
not prevent him from continuing on
|, the paths of duty laid out for himself
in 1923, when he took over the reigns
Of government in Spain.
The premier was discussing the
political future of Spain. He said in
his opinion this could be outlined as
follows:
Once the National Assembly has
been formed it would be possible to
take up great problems affecting the
reconstruction of the country, includ-
ing economic rehabilitation.
THE assembly would study the law
| regarding the press, which he con-
sidered extremely important because
of the influence which the newspapers
exerted upon the people of Spain.
He said he acknowledged that his
| achievements in the premiership had
been due to the press, which willing
ly has helped me, more than anything
else
He expressed the hope that the
National Assembly would allow it's
self capable SO that the King might
! have new men to choose ministers
from.
After three years" the premier
said. "a government would be estab-
lished over which l would not pre-.
side, as / would withdraw from
politics to reassume my military post
and not interfere at all in politics.
| The best symptom that everything
was going on we'll after my with
drawal from politics would be that
| nobody would remember me. My
greatest satisfaction would be derived
from public praise of the person who
succeeds me, whoever he may be.
Il am not now or never was proud.
l realize how little / am worth. Only
through divine help have been able
to carry on the difficult task of gov
erning 25 million Spaniards who did
not know how to govern themselves.
And when my task is concluded l
| intend to give thanks to God and to
ask Him to strengthen my spirit so
that / may continue to be "a good
| Spaniard. who quietly will wait for
his exit from this world and who will
be very happy if everything goes well
for the country and feel quite COM
pensated if his countrymen give him
their 1riendshln"

URUGUAY WITHDRAWS
FROM ARMS PARLEY
Delegate Says Nation, Not Being
on League Council Now, Believes
Usefulness Ended.
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
GENEVA September 28.JTru-
guay's withdrawal from the disarma-
ment pourparlers was announced last
night. The announcement i'm
mediately caused reports to circulate
that the South American country was
disappointed over its failure to Sc
cure reelection to the League of Ma
tions Council and that it would adopt
a policy of disinterestedness in the
League.
The spokesman for the Uruguayan
delegation, however. said the reports
were without foundation. Uruguay.
he declared, had accepted member
ship on the disarmament commission
because she was a member of the
Council and not because she had any
direct interest in the problem OF dis
armament. Now. however, as Uru-
quay was not a member Of the Coun-
Gil, it was believed that her further
cola boration would be artificial.
