TINY REPUBLIC TO HOLO GOLD! Andorra. July . (U.R) The gen-' I era! council of this mountain republic has decided that the Andorra 1 treasury has but one policy, every i thing comes in and nothing goes I I out. Acting on that belief, the general council has refused to pay back I | the $15,009 paid over by an Aus-i tralian syndicate for a sweepstake concession. The syndicate requested the refund on tile grounds that flic co-1 princess, the Spanish Bishop of! Urge! and M. Gaston *Dcumergue, | former president of France, oppos- i i >'d the concession. Tile council 1 ■ has decided that since the council.! I not tlie co-princes, granted the con- 1 I cession to build a hospital and is to come and get its money’s worth. Andorra intended to aise the $15,000 annual revenue fr< m the con- ' cession to buil da hospital and is ! holding the $15,000 first payment for that purpose.

LINERS REPORT | BERG SHORTAGE Pails, (IP) Captains of trans-1 Atlantic liners report that there are, almost no Icebergs to be sighted qt , • ea just now. although this is the ; normal lime of the year when the. . great bergs come floating down ! • from Greenland. Usually about the beginning ot : May the Icefields between Labra-i • dor and Greenland begin to break i up and giant bercs float south into, . the steamer lanes Lieutenant Commander E. H.; ; Smith, of the United States Coasti guard service, just arrived in EuI rope, confirmed the almost total i absence of bergs in the Atlantic I and believes that the huge ice masi ses have been ■’.shipwrecked” on the I Labrador and Greenland coasts. ( Usually the barrier of shore ice along these < oasis prevents the big bergs from grounding and they are swept out into the open current. French meteorologists expreas the belief that while most of the bergs may have run aground those which continue floating south do not survive so long as formerly because oach year the warm Gulf Stream spreads farther north, melting the ! ice masses before they can endan- | er shipping o |() — 0 (HINA LETTER By MILES W.

Ihe National Government of the Chinese Republic, he said, has laid [the foundation of constitutional ! government for the nation and has | laid them well, it seems fair to expect that constitutionalism will con tinue to develop.

Confident of Success 1 “However,” he said,“ I am convinced that the Chinese communists who are the enemies of other countries as well as of the Chinese people, will be suppressed eventually." Regarding the ores censorship I which has boon in force Chiang ! | said that the government recogniz■s that censorship is a wartime me- ' ■isnre and should not lie continued I when orderly conditions have been • restored. Asked if the Russian Soviets, in ; | his opinion, still are actively sup-j • porting the Chinese Communists' and whether Russia still hopes ev-1 ientually to Bolshevize China, Chian; replied that the Soviets with regard i to communists in foreign countries is well known. China's attitude to-! wards Moscaw, he added, is much tlie same as that of the United ■ Stages, i Answers Opposition’s Charge Then Chiang’s attention was call-; ed to the statements of the group in • Canton who are rebelling against (the government, (barging him with lan ambition to become a dictator th" Mussolini of China “Actions speak louder than words, he replied.
