All Spanish political parties are now being approached with

a view to a settlement of the constitution of the new Government,

Paris-exiled Dom Indalecio Prieto, leader of the Socialist Moderates, has had a secret meeting with Lequerica, Spain's onvoy to France, to discuss the attitude his Party would adopt to a restoration.

Pricto has offered to return to Spain the gold deposited in Mexico if a rogime is. established that permits return of all cxiled Spaniards. He will support the regime on these terms.

The Conservative Republicans-enemies of the revolution are to be called in and their affiliated Parties granted full legal status.

A provisional National Assembly will be called to outling the future structure of the Spanish State on a democratic but entially Catholic and Conservative fine. This Assembly

will accept the nominal resignation of Franco.

If these developments go according to plan, the Assembly w'll call in Prince Juan as King, elect a new National Govern ment on Conservativo lincs, and prepare the way for a general· slection, once the country is united and prelfied.

A general political amnesty will be decreed, prisoners will be pardoned, permitting 200,000 Republicans in All political
