MADRID, July 30. Tho abrupt severance of friendly relations of Spain with the Vatican brings King AlfoiiMo into the foreground of Eu ropean politics toilay. Opponents of the youni' monarch have doubted the sincerity of the king's anti-religious actions from the time the elm roll and slnto locked horns iu Spain. To day they praise tho king's stand and give him credit, rather thnn Premier CanajchiH, who still is held iu xp uliir suspicion. Mimiuis Emilio de Ojcda, Spanish amhnr.sndor to the Vatican, probably will today return his credentials to hie holiness and stnrt for Madrid. Tho ambassador was recalled follow ing a conference between King Al fonso and the premier last night. The action of the cabinet is ex pected to throw the kingdom into turmoil. White a great number of tho industrial population favor tho supremacy of state over the church, there are thousands of Spaniards who believe the church should have etpinl rights with the civil govern ment. Should a further split oc cur it is probable that these will throw in their lot with Don Jaime, the Cnrlist pretender to the throne, who already has announced his wil lingness to accept the title of de fender of the church.
