FEAR NO RETURN
 OF MONARCHlSTS
Two Dukes, Pretenders to Throne, Fail to Worry
 Republicans
BY WILLIAM H. LANDER

BY WILLIAM H. LANDEh United Press Stan Correspondent) Madrid-Although two dukes pre- tend to the abolished throne of Spain.
 the republican government worries
 not about the possibility of mon-
 archial restoration-now or later. The most important pretender. of
 course, is the Duke of Toledo, Don
 Alfonso of Bourbon and Harpsburg-
 Lorraine, who between the time of
 his birth on May 17s 1886. to his
 sudden departure from Spaiin on
 April IA, 1881, was King Alfonso XIII of Spain. The Duke of Toledo apparently has let the impression be created in Paris that he Is sojourn- ing abroad while in Spain things re- main in the state of Aux pending the elections for the constitutional as- sembly, which the provisional gov- ernment plans to hold about June 21. The government may be a provision al government, but the question of monarchy versuse republic is not to besettled in the elections of June 21 since it was decided in the elections of April 12.
 SdluIpolkSn VO 6CU Y OKh The present political campaign preceding the elections may have something to do with just what form the republic will ultimately assume, but the reader who thinks that King Alfonso might receive an invitation to return to Madrid after the election be disappointed.
 The second pretender to the non- existent Spanish throne Is a very dis tant relative of the Duke of Toledo he is the Duke of Madrid. When the Duke of Toledo was king of Spain. the Duke of Madrid claimed he was full king, and all that Don Alfonso XIII could possibly aspire to was to be prince of Asturias.
 The Duke of Madrid Is Don Jaime- Juan arlos-Alfonso-F Felipe. prince of Bourbon. and son of the late Don Carlos, direct descendant of the orig Carlist wars which caused so much bloodshed in Spain in the 11th cen- tury.
 The Sallie War
 The whole trouble started when Y cToluduQ NAA Wao AAh6 anu brother Carlos was heir apparent. Ferdinand had had three wives but no children. He then married for the fourth time. and when his wife was expecting a child. he decided to take no chances in the matter. The child would be sovereign whether male or female. And to assure this. it was necessary to abolish the Salic law, which did not permit women to as- eend the throne. The child did turn out to be a girl, the future Isabel II (grandmother of Alfonso xfI1). But Don Carlos did not recognize her. and claimed that the saiic laws abo. iition was not valid, since it had not been decreed by Cortes.
 The present "cariist" of "LegitI. mist pretender, Don Jaime, Duke Of Madrid, was born Bwtzeriand n 1870. H resides in Parts. and is q bachelor. Since, had he been kiHs. he would have no direct succession, he recognised Alfonso XIII as heof apparent--that is, if things had been as they should have been according Co his theories.
 Now Don Jaime from his Paris headquarters asserts that he Co the only legitimate pfetender. anr that the monarchy in Spain must not be n abolished tust because on kiHG-~Fes fsFrlnE Co Alfonso xffi--dld not have sense enough Co make himself loved by his people '

tional reparations, making a total Of
1892 900 900. France at the same time
is to pay SEQ 900 900 TO Great Britain
and $50 600. 900 10 the United States.
France Would Have Balance.
There are provisions in the debt
agreements, however, which permit
France to pay the United States as
little as $20000,000 and Great Britain
as little as 5000 900 II she so deter
mines in view Of her circumstances.
Germany might declare a moratorium
in regard TO her conditional reparation
payments, knocking of $83 100000 Of
what Is To 60 10 France, but it Is easy
to see that France would still have a
balance of $4,000 900 coming to her if
she reduced her payments 10 the United
States and Great Britain during the
year. France might feel severely ;ny
such effort to isolate her If it were at
tempted. No suggestion has been ad-
vanced by the American Government
that it plans to go ahead without
France In the debt-Suspension plan. Its
plan Is to win the cooperation of the
French in this matter If it is possible
TO do so.
Castle Issues Statement.
The Acting Secretary, Of State. Will
liam Castle. jr.. late yesterday issued
the following statement, after comforting
with the President for two hours:
1t Is our understanding that all gov
ernments are now agreed in principle to
the Presidents plan except the French
government.
Some difficulties have arisen in rec
oncilinE the French position with the
spirit Of the Presidents proposal. Dis
cussions are still continuing between
Ambassador Edge and Secretary Mellon
with the French ministry"
In some quarters the assertion that
all governments except the French are
agreed in principle to the Hoover pro-
posal for debt suspension during the
coming year was interpreted as an eff
fort 10 exert pressure OH the French
finally to accede TO the suggestions ad-
vanCed by Secretary Mellon and Am
bassador Edge In their conversations
with the French officials in Paris.
At the time the statement was made
the President and Mr.. Castle had be-
fore them the terms of the French
offer. and had conferred with Mr.. Mel
Ion over the transatlantic telephone.

the French yeateIdAN. n
