CATALONIA REAL TURBULENT REG|ON Also One Of Most DenseIy Popu-
 lated Areas

Washington, May 17.-(Pl-Cata- lonia, where riots have occurred be- cause of the imposition of a new Spanish income tax, is at once the most prosperous, the most dense,y populated and the most turbulent re- zion Of Spain.
 catalonia was an independent country before Spain and France be- came well knit states. The portion of the old state, south of the Pyrenees, has been a division of Span for many centuries but the Natlonal Geographic society finds mat the memory of independence fingers, and Catalans have been as restless under Spanish control as the Irish have been under the Eng lish, or as the Poles were under the Russians. As in both the latter cases, there also is a difference in language. Spanish Is the official tongue In Catalonia, but Catalan is the 1diom of the people. It is a TO- nance language, but knowledge Of neither Spanish nor French availe
 
 Barcelona is the chief Catalan city and the heart and soul of Cat alonia. It's population is approxi- mately three quarters of a million. 50 that 1t is close to Madrid in size. North. west and south of the citv catalonia extends, lying between the Pyrenees and the Mediterra- mean coast. Thus it forms the sharp northeastern corner of Spain,
 In this Catalonian corner is large " concentrated the industry and wealth Of Spain. It covers only one- sixteenth of Spanish territory. but contains one-tenth of the population. IL produces the lions share of the national income and pays more taxes than all the rest of the country. There IS an old Barcelona of mar row, crooked streets but much more | characterishc is the new Barcelona or wide boulevards and substantial modern buildings, and the suburbs and factories and Workmen's cot- | tages.
 Llfe In Barcelona has the move | ment more often associated with clues outside of Spain. There is a lelsurely swing to things in the | morning but in the afternoon crowds pus'le and seethe through the the streets, taxis dash about and an string of tram cars rumbles along. The night life of the hoteis and cafes and dance halls lasts until close to dawn.
