markets seriously affected agricultural production. These economic
difficulties caused Lerroux to resign in September 1935. His
Finance Minister, Chapaprieta, replaced him as premier for the
purpose of balancing the budget, Lerroux accepting the Ministry of
State. However, the coalition between the Radical Party and Gil
Robles' CEDA, which had controlled Spain since the 1933 elections,
was suddenly flung upon the rocks by the disclosure of two scandals
involving corruption and bribery in high places. The leaders of
the Radical Party, the two ex-premiers Lerroux and Samper, were im-
plicated. Lerroux resigned; the Radical Party was discredited.
The moment might have seemed logical to ask Gil Robles to form a
government, but two things militated against this; the antipathy
of President Alcalá Zamora for the CEDA leader, and an attack upon
Gil Robles by Calvo Sotelo, who denounced him for having endangered
the rightist program by his connections with Lerroux.

Appearance of the Popular Front's
With the break-up of the CEDA-Radical coalition, the Cortes
became unworkable. A parliamentary dissolution and a general
election early in 1936 seemed the only solution. The President of
the Republic selected a progressive with rightist connections,
Portela Valladares, to form an extra-parliamentary cabinet to pre-
pare for the general elections that would be held within 60 days
