ARMY'S LOYALTY

lom possible overthrow by the 10y
atty of the army and premature
launching of republican revolu-
tionary plans. the Spanish govern
ment dominated the country and
controlled general strikes by mar
tial law today.
1t was difficult to predict wheth-
er the monarchy and Premier Gen.
DamaSo Berenguer would emerge
eventually stronger or weaker from
the present situation. Quarters in
close touch with the army refused
to discount the possibility that
Spain's armed forces might coop
crate with some movement against
the government sooner or later. At
the same time it was believed that
republicans and other civilian rev.
olutionary elements were not like
ly to try further attempts at CO.
operation with Communists and
Extremist labor organizations.
The next few days were expected
to be difficult for King Alfonso
/ NH and Premier Berenguer in at
| tempting to restore the country TO
normalcy, in view of the many di-
Vergent ideas as to how their plans
should be carried out.
/ The government did not expect
revolutionists, beaten in their first
concerned attempt against the
/ crown, to remain idle long.
The opinion expressed by Ramon
! Franco and other leaders of the un-
successful revolt that they would
surely triumph eventually was con-
sidered typical of the plotters.
The revolutioniStS were expected
to adopt different tactics in their
next attempt. Their best chance
fer success, in view of the loyalty
OF the army to the crown, appeared
to be the organization of civilians,
Further attempts were not expected
until revolutionary leaders believed
