BABY REPUBLIC
CASE OF CATALONIA
DOMINION STATUS
MADRID, 18tli ApriL At Barcelona., General Macia, head of the Government of Catalonia, placed ten shillings in the savings bank on behalf of each baby born in Barcelona on Idth April, in honour of the revolution. Tho Cataloniari demand for Homo Eulo has been settled by allowing it to adopt its own language, flag, and anthem, and to elect a constituent assembly with a Minister at Madrid. Three Spanish Republican Ministers who flew to Barcelona reached this agreement with General Macia. The Catalonian settlement ha.s been received with satisfaction. Tho term "Generalirtad" nf Catalonia, which replaces that of "Republic," has no equivalent in English, but means a State under a Governor-General representing the; Central Government, roughly corresponding to the relations of the Dominions with Britain, The arrangement will continue until the general election, and the. meeting
of tho Constituent Assembly, when proposals will be presented for tho incorporation of Catalonia us sin autonomous province of tho Spanish Republic.
