SPAIN’S FUTURE
REDEEMING COUNTRY.
REPUBLICAN AIM. FIGHT FOR LIBERTY. (United Press Association-—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 21, 8.5 a.m. BARCELONA, Jan. 20. General Rojo, chief ol the Republican Army staff, in a nationwide broadcast to-day, emphasised that Spaniards were commonly inspired in their desire to supersede the ancient and corrupt regime by something better, and redeem the country. Yet killing one another would mainly benefit foreigners, who woidd profit from Spain’s enfeeblement. It was time for the strife to cease.
General Rojo said he was not appealing for magnanimity or a pardon, because liberty would triumph in toe end. The war would continue in spite of victory' for one side or the other till truth was recognised. Spain must be independent, and be begged lor a little understanding and patriotism to end “Spain’s Calvery.”
