DICTATOR OF
SPAIN QUITS
Republic for Nation Near
as Liberal Forces Dust
Cabinet.
By United Press

By United Press
MADRID, Feb .14.-After years
of dictatorship, martial law and
rebellion, Spain appeared today to
be moving toward Republican
form of government with such
rapidity that the political victors
themselves were uncertain what
the next move in the constitutional
regeneration Of the country would
be.
Within the space of few hours
the government of Premier Gen
eral Damaso Berenguer resigned
and the king received a decree sus-
pending the parliamentary cleo
tionS scheduled for n ext month.
The next logical development
appeared to be the convocation of
a constitutional assembly to draft
a constitution replacing that of
1876, under which the country still
is governed.
Convention Demanded
King Alfonso began consultations
immediately after the cabinets res
ignation with leaders of the Liberal
party, who forced Berenguer's res
ignation, and also with the duke
of Maura regarding the formation
of a new government.
The duke of Maura expressed the
opinion that a coalition government
would be formed.
Briefly summarized, the events
leading to the situation occurred as
follows:
Count Romanones, Liberal leader
and former premier, informed Ber-
engucr the Liberals would not col
laborate with the parliament which
the government expected to elect
in March.
The count demanded a conStitu-
tional convention. The elections
already had been boycotted by Re-
publicans and Socialists.

nary session of the cabinet this
morning. King Alfonso conferred
with the premier before the cabinet
met in Berenguers Sickroom, where
he has been confined for some time.
The cabinet submitted its resig-
nation to the king, who accepted
it. The cabinet also submitted a
decree to the king and the premier
with the initiation of a violent press
campaign as soon as censorship
was lifted.

DROUGHT BILL
TO Be VOTED
UPON TODAY
'lSgruntled Senate Is Ready
to Pass Presidents
Compromise.
NO DOUBT ON OUTCOME
Minority Leader Robinson
May Be Repudiated
BY Democrats.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-op-
ponents Of the $4,000, 900 drought
relief compromise had worn them
selves out today as a result of a
weeks vocal opposition, and were
ready to bow to its inevitable pas
sage by the conservative coalition
headed by President Hoover and
minority leader Robinson Dem,
Ark.).
An agreement for q vote this aft
ernoon has been negotiated, and
there was no doubt Of the outcome.
But it is a complaining and dis
gruntled senate that will pass this
additional $2O,OOO0OO appropriation
Tor relief in the drought and storm
stricken areas.
May Repudiate Robinson
Not in many years has a piece Of
legislation progressed to certain
passage and signature by the Presi-
dent amidst so much criticism from
those who will vote for it.
Interest now conferred on the num-
Der Of Democrats having the cour-
age to repudiate formally their
leader, Robinson, who negotiated the
agreement with Hoover's spokesman
and the latter's Democratic friend
and boss of Robinsons home state,
Harvey Couch. The number of the
discontented and deserving Demo-
Gratis has been estimated variously
at from ten TO fifteen.
Though Robinson is expected to
win a floor victory through passage
OF his and Hoover's compromise, it
may prove a hollow one. His COL
leagues insist it means the death
of his desire to be the Democratic
presidential nominee next year.
Defended by Friends
His friends, however. defend both
Robinson and the agreement on
the ground it is the best that can
be wrung from the administration
and its overwhelming majority in
the house.
AS scheduled to pass, the agree
ment appropriates $20,0O0000 for
loans to individuals" in the areas
struck by drought, hail and storm,
to provide credit for the forma-
ton or strengthening of agricul-
tural credit and farmer loan COR

rehabilitation.
Under the latter phrase it is con-
tended by everybody, and admitted
by the administration, that food
