WEST AFRICA REELS
 UNDER BURDENS
Financial Troubles Upset Portu- gu@e Possession Considerably

l Angola. Portuguese West Africa, July 30 - After five lean years, this once prosperous colony and corner stone Of the Portuguese African en- 1 pire finds itself with an almost un- ! paralleled economic illness gnawing al her vitals.
 The trouble is both economic and political. It was caused primarily i by the heavy slump of coffee, rub- Der and other raw materials on which the prosperity of the colony depends, and was lately aggravated by an armed rebellion.
 Among the measures taken by the Lisbon government to meet the un- rest is the Colonial Act" Under ! this decree the high commissioner ship is abolished and the supreme authority vested in the minister of colonies at Lisbon. Certain preroga- tives of the high commissioner, such as the right to grant conces- slons and obtain foreign loans, are withdrawn and the post is changed
 
 The first official to hold office, un- der the changed conditions, was Colonel Bento Roma. He succeed ed General F'ilomeno da Camara, whose dismissal was demanded fol- lowing the assassination of the deputy high commissioner. Lieuten- ant Moraes Sarmento. But Col. | Roma was confronted with such a staggering problem that he sent in his resignation.
 Senhor Antonio Oliveria Salazar, Portugals financial wizard, who IS acting colonial ministeg is putting the finishing touches 10 the compre- hensive Colonial Act" Of which he IS the author. An agricultural state tank will be created to lend money to planters at low rate of interest. The present prohibitive rate on loans was reduced July 1 to relieve the monetary tension.
 The treasury will open a credit of 30,000,000 escudos to the colony and the National Bank of Angola will be thoroughly reorganized. It was charged that the weekly balance sheets of this institution were faked in order to cover up the parlous state Of colonial finances.
 The exodus of black labor to the Transvaal mines is a source of worry to the government. To counteract this mass emigration, the govern ment is planning to lower the native tax and reduce the hours of work.
 The leader of the mutiny against the high commissioner was Colonel Genipru. He was chief of staff of the garrison of Loanda, and twice defed the government, in one in stance threatening to arrest any gov ernor sent from Lisbon. AS the colonial army sided with him, the government refrained from taking drastic measures against the rebel officer, although the cruiser Nasco da Cana was sent to make a dem- onstration at Loanda.
 During the mutiny the port of Ioanda was closed to foreign ship ping and a state of siege was pro- claimed thereby adding to the trade depression.

DOMESTIC DEMAND FEATURES BONDS Many Active Issues Hold Their
 Upward Course

New York, July 30 P-strength of French Is and the demand for several domestic issues featured bond trading today.
 While some issues failed to main tain the prices established yesterday, majority of the active bonds, par ticularly among those which have proflted by a steady demand, held their upward course. The day by day gains have lifted the level of bonds to the best figure of the year esta blished last March, the averages showing they now stand at 1905. Bond traders expect that this will be surpassed on the present move ment

 The Russians claim they deposited this money in the New York bank to Cibrario's order.
 The Soviet's case thus far has not met with great success It lost in the local San Remo court, and in the Court of Appeals at Genoa, Now it is before the Court of Cessation at Rome.
 According to the allegations, Rus sia commissioned Cibrario to go to America and purchase for them American films and rights. They deposited a million dollars in the National City Bank, and told him to use it.
 Also according to the Soviet's al- legations. Cibrario did use it-buc not for the Soviet. He found the New York weather rather cool and returned to the sunny Riviera and san Reno, He carried out his life $ dream by buying the gorgeous De- vachan castle.
 The Court of Appeals at Genoa de cided that the Soviet could not touch the National City Bank, but could still proceed against Cibrario In this connection it is recalled that the Soviet seized branch offices of the National City Bank in Moscow.
