London, Feb. 12.
Restoration of a monarchy in Spain would be the best means of re-establishing national unity, for this could then be done under an authority that had not participated in the civil war, observers here commented today upon reports from Burgos.
British politicians insist that no pressure should be exerted upon the Nationalist leader, General Franco, either for or against the restoration. The accession of Don Juan, son of ex-King Alfonso XIII, would have incomparable value as an affirmation of national Spanish independence, it was declared here.
The German Press has already pronounced itself categorically against the restoration, which, it has stated, would be incompatible with Spain's adherence to the Anti-Comintern Pact.—Havas.
