Religious Liberty for Spain

MADRID, January 19.—Count Alvaro de Romanones, the new premier, will publish his program as soon as the king returns from a hunting trip in Granada.
The program, which is strongly marked by Liberal tendencies, is said to include complete reconstruction of the associations' bill, after negotiations with the Vatican; complete religious freedom; secularization of the cemeteries; obligatory civil marriage; a diminution of the number of non-elective senators, and a corresponding increase of elective senators; abolition of the death penalty; freedom of education; increased salaries for teachers; important public improvements; the creation of a second squadron of the fleet; and various measures to improve the condition of the working classes.— New York Times, Jan. 20, 1913.
