PLANS UNALTERED
SPANISH GOVERNMENT
ELECTIONS BEING HELD IN MARCH
SUPPRESSION OF REVOLUTION
(United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 515 p.m.) London, December 20. The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Telegraph reports that the Prime Minister of Spain, General Berenguer, in his 'first interview since the revolt, said the Government’s plans for holding the elections on March 10 were unaltered. Martial lti,w would be maintained only during an investigation of recent events.
General Berenguer declared that he intended to resign as soon as a constitutional regime was established. He thought it unlikely that a single party would emerge from the elections strong enough to form a Government. He hoped sufficient groups approving of the present Government’s programme would combine to constitute a new Ministry. He regarded the revolutionary movement as suppressed as far as the army was concerned, but admitted that it would probably’ continue among Communists.
Asked whether Moscow had financed the revolutionary movement, General Berenguer laughingly replied that he did not think the Soviet had the money to spare at present.
