DICTATOR OF
SPAIN FILES
RESIGNATION
De Rivera, Practical Ruler
of Nation Since 1923,
Steps Down.
CABINET ALSO IS OUT
Action Is Given Approval of
King; Suddenness Is
Dramatic.

Blu Httfd Press
MADRID, Spain, Jan. 2s.-Pre-
mier Primo De Rivera, civil die
'tator OF Spain since 1923. resigned
today. His resignation was accept
ed by the king.
The end of the dictatorship came
with dramatic suddenneSS after two
days of uncertainty. The cabinet
met this morning and at noon the
premier met at the war Office with
important heads Of the arm.
The entire cabinet also resigned.
The cabinet will meet later today
and officially announce the resigna-
ton.
= The king was expected to ask De-
masso Berenguer to form a new
cabinet.
The chief factor in the premier's
resignation was his admitted mis-
take in appealing to the heads of the
army, which caused strong resent
ment in many quarters. 1t was ar
gued that the government held
power by virtue of the kings conf
dence, and it was an insult to the
king to appeal to the army for a
question which should have been
submitted to the throne.
1t was reported that during his
Faudience with the king De Rivera
said he had not realized his note
was going over the kings head and
placing the army's opinion before
the king, who always has had the
absolute faculty of dismissing min
listers.

FARM SENATORS
ASSAIL WATSON
TARIFF DEFENSE
Deny in Debate That Rates
Are Made More Favorable
to Agriculture.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 10.-President
Hoover's restrictive tariff admoni-
tons have been followed by con-
gress. Republican Floor Leader Wat.
son asserted in the senate today,
opening a defense of the pending
Smoot-Hawley tariff measure.
The Indiana senator argued the
bill is a limited revision of existing
laws for the benefit only of agri-
culture and those industries suffer-
ing depression from foreign conpe-'
tition.
Of the. more than 5000 items,
made subject to duty in the tariff
law, Watson declared, 2,171 or 66
per cent are unchanged, while 887
or q per cent are increased and 235
or per cent decreased.
Object to Watson Defense
Senator Blaine (Rep., Wis., OBJ
jected to Watson's picture of agri-
culture benefits. He asserted the
dairy industry had suffered severely
from the revision made in the latest
form of the bill.
Objection to Watson's conclus-
ions also was made by Senator
Howell (Rep., Neb.,) who said the
20 per cent duty on shoes alone
wiped out any benefit farmers would
get from the measure.
MY conclusions show a major
part of the increases are for argi-
culture" replied Watson. "It is diff
ficult to see how senators from ag-

Two "DoubtfuIs" in Line
Two doubtful Republican senators
swung into line for the Smoot- Haw-
ley tariff bill today, putting the
measures fate directly up to Sena-
tors Reed and Grundy, Pennsyl-
vania Republicans, who have de-
clined to announce how they will
vote.
Senators Caper tRep., Kan.,) and
Cutting Rep., N. NJ are the two
who definitely have made up their
minds to support the legislation.
This leaves the administration
leaders a margin of one vote with
Reed, Grundy and Senator King
Dem., Utah) still listed as unde-
cided.
Reed said he may not make up his
mind until just before the vote is
taken Thursday or Friday. Grundy
is away and has intimated through
his friends here he may be absent
without a pair.
