None of these groups is sufficient
ly powerful to form a government
alone. Yet both in Spain and among
emigre colonies outside these vari-
GUS factions often are at war among
themselves, offering little hope of
a lasting fusion which might set up
a strong democratic government.
Gen. Franco has intimated sew
eral times, including the interview
referred to earlier, that he might in
time make way for a restoration OF
the monarchy in Madrid. The legiti-
mate Bourbon heir to the throne is
Don Juan, third son of the late AL
fonso XIII, who is now in exile in
Switzerland. His claim, however,
would be disputed by the Carlists
who believe that Ferdinand VII, by
repeating the Salic law and thus
passing the throne on to his daugh-
ter, the Infanta Isabella, rather
UTAH MS DrOtner, Ion carlos, broke
the legitimate succession.
Welcome to British.
A revival of constitutional mon
archy in Spain under Don Juan
probably would be welcomed by the
present British government of Prime
Minister Churchill. The British
royal house is closely related to that
of Spain. However, such a develop
ment certainly would not be well
coined by American liberals and
still less by the Communists govern
ment of Soviet Russia.
Meanwhile, the United States is
eager to develop strong trade rela-
tons with Spain. When the revolu-
ton of 1896 occurred, the United
States was negotiating with the Re-
