The Problem of the Spains.
(New York Herald Tribune

tNeW York Herald Tribune)
 The problem which confronts the new Spanish republic is seriously complicated by the elements of disunion that part and parcel of the age long heritage of Spain Spaniards call these centrif ugal forces regionalismo'-a strong local devotion of the people to their particular province
 Throughout the Middle Ages Spain a kaleido- scopic welter of ever-shiftng States-Castile Ara gon, Leon, Navarro and others. For centuries they warred against another or against the Moors Finally out of the turmoil of wars the Hspanic kingdoms were reduced to two, and by the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castle modern Spain was born. Their immediate success sors, Charles and Philip II, dealt ruthlessy with the flare-ups of the old localism, and under their work of unification Spain became for time one of the most compact and cose-knit nations of Europe
 But this unity was political affair imposed from above and maintained by the crown even after the royal line had begun degenerate under the later Hapsburgs. The other sources of discord inherent within the Spanish monarchy still smol- dered and now may have to be reckoned with by the leaders of the regime
 In the first place, Spain does not have single language Castillian is recognized as the classic tongue of the nation, but different dialects are spoken in Andausa and Gacia The Basques speak tongue which has no relation whatever to Spanish, and Catalan approxmates the language of the French Midi just as the ethnic affinities of Catalonia link it closely to the people of southern France
 LoCal PdOIioIlSIil IdS been especially dctVe Tn Catalonia, whose capital is the nourshing com mercial city of Barcelona. That State is the prin- cipal industrial center of Spain, and its citizens have long felt that their wealth and industry have been forced to bear more than their just share Of the cost of the national government The added fact that Barcelona has been garrisoned by troops rom Castle has only increased the resentment of the Galatians at their position in the nation Only to lesser degree has the industrious Basque popu- latlon of the northwest objected to the old order In this connection it is interesting that the prin- clpal nucleus of republicanism in Spain have long been in these two dsaffected regions of the north In view of the historic clash of local interests within the country and of the exaggerated indvidualism of the Spanish character 1t may be that the only alternative to centralized monarchy will be Federal republic As in China, the passing of kingshp has removed the principal tie that held together the different peoples of the nation In reality there nave always been many Spains, and a realistic view of the new situation may have to recognize this fact.

Ford Factory Doctor Pays High Tribute
 To Sargon's PolUer;

"Sargon is one of the most pow erful strengthening. reconstructive tonics and body builders have known in the 30 years I have en- gagged in the practice of medicine, :" declared Dr. P. K. Drummond, for 12 years factory physician at the Ford Motor Co.,, Detroit who was retained to examine the formula. At this season of the year, es- pecially, people who are in a run down condition, due to simple ane- mia, thin, watery blood, poor diges- ton or elimination, should benefit richly from the Sargon treatment. Dr. Drummonds straightforward endorsement of Sargon is typical of the iinstinted praise it has received from scores of other outstanding physicians and explains why Sar- gon is having the largest sale of any tonic medicine of it's kind in the world today
