General Damaso Berenguer, setting out his programme, pays a tribute to General Primo de Rivera, and adds: “A dictatorship indefinitely prolonged would be useless. It is impossible to return to autocracy and fundamentally necessary to re-establish liberty and hold elections, the date of which cannot at present be indicated.
“ I am a constitutionalist and intend to return to- the Constitution of 1876. We will re-establish a Foreign Ministry, which was suppressed by de Rivera, and extend its importance. We shall scrupulously respect all international agreements.”
