Don Rafael Montoya-Suárez, leader of the Nationalist Party, yesterday published an address under the title "Stability Through Righteous Tradition," in which the Nationalist leader inveighed against what he termed the "opportunistic chaos" of the present hour and urged the Chamber to anchor itself in the older virtues of the Almarian settlement.

The address, circulated through the Editor Network, drew its warmest passages from a defence of the Crown's constitutional prerogatives and from a call to the Church to recover its place in the civic education of the young. "A nation that forgets its catechism," Don Rafael wrote, "will remember only its grievances."

This paper records the address with the respect due to a parliamentary leader of long standing. Its sharper passages — which touched upon figures in public life whom Don Rafael did not name but whom his readers will identify without difficulty — are left to the reader's own perusal in the original text. The Nationalist benches are expected to bring amendments of a rhetorical character to Monday's sitting on the fuel instrument.
