...friend of dictatorships, the "guillotine" (which must be voted anew for each of the government's "fundamental laws") made Premier Azana first cousin to a dictator. Dictators breed revolution. Manuel Azana well realized that fact and moved to forestall it by ordering the arrest of all army officers whose loyalty to the Republic is in doubt. Chief prisoner was General Manuel Goded. After the fall of the monarchy two years ago General Goded was in high Republican favor for having started a plot to oust Dictator Primo de Rivera in 1929, for having told King Alfonso that his troops...
