Madrid:
Dictator Primo de Rivera, whose government
has been under increased criticism for economic troubles that have plagued
Spain recently, issues a formal note at 4 a.m. to the army, navy and civil
guards, who concurred in his rise to power, asking them to declare whether they
still want him to his rule.
“As I have often said,
I want to leave office when the time is propitious and a proper man of good
faith is available to succeed me.
Unfortunately for me, I have not yet found that man, but I will never be
willing to be forced out, and in an improper manner, by anyone against my
will.” Rivera had not announced plans to
release such a note. A group of army
officials meets tonight to discuss the matter, but no decision is announced.
Germany:
More bad economic news: a report says
unemployment now tops 2 million, equaling two years ago when a severe winter
drastically impeded industrial activity.
