THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1929 PAGE NINE -- RELIGIOUS ANGLE OF KING BORIS' "MARRIAGE NOW REPORTED SETTLED Vienna, Apr. 10--A central ra- dio dispatca from Budapest yester- day said the Huagarian pro-Gov- prament newspape: Pester Lloyd claimed that the religious angle of {ze marriage problem of King Bor- (3 of Buigaria had been settled.' - A Sofia dispatch published in the pester Lloyd at Budapest asserted that Pope Plus XI had consentea to a marriage hetween Princess Gi- ovanna, Koman Catholiz daughter of the King of Italy, end King Boris, an orthodox Catholic, also permitting the future Crown Prince to be baptized in the Orthodox Church, the Budapest advices said. Ot her--ehif Bod should be baptiz- ed in the Roman Church, according to the dispatch. The Royal wedding would be performed first in the Orthodox Church and then in the Roman Chiirch. Premier Benito Mussolini, of It- aly, figured prominently in the re- ported negotiations, the Sofia dis- patch added. King Boris is 35 years old and has been reported engaged to most of the eligible Princesses of Eur- ope. The latest engagement re- ported was to Princess Giovanna, who is 21, but the religious differ- ences were understood to have pre- vented the marriage, RESTORING NRNER GIVES DICTATOR HOLD ON SPAIN Primo de Rivera's Popule~ larity Due to Ending Morocca War Paris, April 10.--Primo de Ri- vera's Government owes its popu- larity to the fact that it ended the costly Moroccan War, Edouard Hesley writes in "Le Journal." Re- ferring to the Spanish dictatorship, he says: "First of all, it is useless to deny that large masses of the people like it. The liberties which were cur- tailed by the present government were merely theoretical liberties which are quickly forgotten once one isn't used to them any more. "Though the present Govern- ment limits somewhat the citizen's rights, it gives him, on the other hand, an atmosphere of order and quiet. Spain loves the calm, that reigns ever since Primo de Rivera became a dictator. She doesn't seem to relish upheavals, Many Improvements Made "Anyhow, Primo's dictatorship has a paternal character. Business fs fine. In social questions the dictator shows an obvious good will. 'Since his Government doesn't have to bother about party strug- gles, and since it has ruled now longer than any preceding Govern- ment, it has been able to accom- plish many improvements in pub- lic hygiene and the like. "Most of all, Primo de Rivera's government counts on one fact which made it popular; it put an end to the Moroccan War, Therg is no longer a call for troops and reserve troops, no more waste of millions of pesetas and human lives in military occupations. The peo- ple. remember this fact. Public opinion therefore speaks in favor of the general. "Primo de Rivera counts on the support of public opinion, and sometimes introduces reforms which would have aroused violent objections in former days. Primo de Rivera ruled that horses should be reasonably protected at the bull- fights, so as to make the sport less cruel. What the Spaniards would not have tolerated from any other government they accepted from Primo de Rivera without his being obliged to show his fists. Shows His Fist "But he does have 'fists,' figur- aaively speaking. And he does show them when necessary. The good naturedness of his dictator- ship is only an outside aspect, At the inside one finds that real force is the very backbone of this Gov- ernment. "First of all, there is the police. The police are skilful, active and soundly organized, The dictator knows what goes on all over the kingdom; the artillery regiments of Ciulad Real realized that the other day at their own expense. "The police not only watch things but act when necessary. The civic guards, sort of gendarmes, who are chosp with special care from the age of sixteen on and who are given special training, are a precious instrument in the hands of an energetic Government. "] saw some years ago how thirty or forty thousand Cataloni- ans--people who weren't 'wash- rags'--Ileft the 'Rambla' of Barce- lona in a few moments after hav- ing engaged in demonstrations there noisily for more than an hour when they saw fifty policemen ar- rive with drawn sabers. Army Back of Dictator "One can't merely wish himself into a dictatorship. If General Pri- mo de Rivera succeeded so well in achieving a quiet 'coup d'etat' that brought him the entire government power, and if the King--a very well informed judge of matters, in- deed--admitted him immediately to that power, it means that he re- presented something more than a mere personal will power. The 'most virile, the most daring and the most imperious leader can't control an entire nation for long by his own force alone. "From the very beginning--and this is the explanation of his pow- er--Primo de Rivera had the ma- | DFAN SINCLAIR LAIRD DEAN LAIRD'S SIXTH ANNUAL 21-DAY TOUR AcrossCanadas Back '340 "mane Corresponding fares from other points.

This the Premier has promised to give. Controllers Suffer Defeat The action of the city council upset the recommendation of the board of control concerning the proposed purchases. At a special meeting of the board yesterday morning, Controllers Wemp, Hack- er and Summerville voted down the application of the commission for approval of its plans to buy out the Collacutt line to Oshawa and Belleville, for $120,000; the Hizhway Queen line to Brampton, $50,000; and the Maple Leaf line to Markham and Cooksville, $62.- 500. Mayor McBride and Con- troller Gibbons voted agairst this rejection. Even on the purchase of the Del-Ray line to Oshawa for $170,- 000, which Controllers Wemp and Hacker agreed to, the board was dividad. Those in favor were Mayor McBride and Controllers Gibbons, Wemp and Hacker, but Controller Summerville stuck to his conten- tion 'that the commission should not purchase anything, even a sin~le line, and vo'ed against the majority. Mr. Harvey's Sta'ement At the afternoon session of Council the Mayor formally. pre- sentde the report of the Board of Control, which showed Con.

W. Harvey, General Manager of '7 » T.T.C., outlined the success- ful ory of the T, T. C.'s bus or »g, and the reasons for tho ] 1 to prrehase the five rou' 3. These 'ines he said, could be secured without the borrowing of a single dollar from the city or the T.T.C. The amount above the reserves of the bus line could be borrowed from the 'bank, and paid back in a few months. The proposal was, he stated, alor- 'he lines approved by the industr !e did not want to feel that t"» T. T.C., because {it was munic' ily owned, was handicapped. Ha. ton had acquired the interurban bus lines running out of that city. Montreal Tramways had also acquired she bus lines in its dis- trict. "The permit of a bus line," said Mr. Harvey, "is in effect a perpetual franchise. The depart- ment will not permit compe ition with any of its permit holders." Ald. Beamish--If you get these will the Government issue other permits in competition with your busses? Mr. Harvey--There will always be through busses, I understand that within a few months a coach line will be started from Toronto to Montreal, but these busses will not be permitted to pick up To- ronto passengers going to Oshawa or points this side of Oshawa, and cannot pick up passengers from Oshawa into Toronto. Replying to Ald. Cameron, Mr. Harvey said the Niagara Line, op- erating over the Peace Bridge, had saved the Commission much money, and was formed to get over certain difficulties about entering Buffalo where connections wera made with a number of American bus routes.
