CIVIL WAR FEARED
TROUBLES IN SPAIN UNDERMINING OF INDUSTRY CONFISCATION OF ESTATES By Telegraph—Preßs Association—Copyright LONDON, April 5 Latent civil war is undermining industry in Spain, and despair is seizing the enemies of the Beds, reports the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Madrid. Young aristocrats are secretly joining a Fascist movement, pledged to violence if necessary. One Spanish statesman, summing up the Spanish tragedy, says: "Spain might still be a monarchy if Alfonso XIII. had been gifted with human understanding equalling that shown by King Edward when he visited the Glasgow slums recently." Dining rooms for "the ashamed poor," at which impoverished grandees can enjoy cheap, substantial meals, have been opened in Madrid. The repudiation by the Premier, Scnor Azana, of Communism has not allayed the fears of the new poor ruined by confiscation of their estates. Society women are doing their own housework and heiresses are painting rag dolls for a living.
