STRONGER THAN EVER, BUT MUST CHANGE POLICY

NEW SPANISH GOVERNMENT REASONS FOR DISCONTENT i Press Association.—Copyright. I LONDON, Wed.—Don Manuel Az. ana's Government is now 3trongei than ever, but its popularity will be short-lived if it s policy is not changed Among the reasons for discontent ig the Government's generosity in r new Catalan statute which is being passed through the Cortes and undei which, its opponents declare, the - ,i;i given Catalonian industries will en able ■ them to. flqod the re'st ct Spain with goods often of interior quality and high in price. Bankers also t'oai the policy, and some of the present Socialist Ministers wiould welcome more conservative government.

On the other hand syndicalists and the extreme Labour elements resent j Government restrictions, though ob-1 servers consider there is a surprising amount of freedom for incendiarism j and mob violence. Finally Don Azana'e j Government has aroused the antago. j nism of the Church by prohibiting I all teaching by monastic orders while j forcing religious schools to continue . their work at least until the Govern.; meut has completed building 27,000 j schools to replace them. The futile ! Monarchist revolt has given the j Government another chance. j
