TINE country of contrasts: There
you have in four words the
background of this latest chap
i ter which Spain has just written
in her long and eventful annals.
One frequently hears that country de-
scribed as the ancient stronghold of
conservatism" coupled with express
sions of amazement at this latest sud
den turn in its affairs. This concept,
however, ignores the fact that hers
has been indeed vivid story, whose
pages have for centuries flashed peri
odically with Strikingly democratic high
lights against the time-honored shadows
of age-old monarchial traditions.
This has been by no means the first
drastic upheaval in her political mech
anism. It Is not even her first appear
ance as a republic. Indeed, Spanish
history is replete with instances of
thorough-going democracy, which in
many respects are quite up to what we
have been taught to regard as the SUI
perioritieS of Anglo-Saxon respect for
popular will. For instance, there have
been few monarchies, even OF the pres
ent-day so-called constitutional vari-
ETY., in which the sovereign has been
indicted into Office with the blunt adj
monition to the general effect that I'VE.
the people, who are as good as you,
the King, salute YOU, who are no better
than WEI Yet this was the form used
at the coronation of the rulers of one
of the ancient Spanish kingdoms. The
status of the Spanish Cortes, or Parlia-
ment, and the extraordinary develop
ment of municipal institutions through
out Spain have for centuries demon
strated the self-governing capacity of
the Spanish people. Democracy is no
novelty in Spain; she has survived its
trials before, and she will again.
And so the chronicles of her past
have recorded again and again these
singular contrasts and sharp variations
between democratic and autocratic in
stitutionS. Thus have sol y Sombra"-
to quote the vernacular of the bull

the singularly emphasized contrasts In
the colorful pageantry Of Spanish his

It is no mere accident that the two
greatest masters of Spanish painting
indeed, they are among the immortals
of all time-have been the very embodi-
ment of this same contrasting spirit:
Zuloaga, the somber Basque, master of
the powerful technique Of shadow-the
