Monaco Crisis
National Council in Conflict with Prince SPLENDOUR FADING LONDON, December 20. The State of Moriaco, consisting almost solely of the gambling resort of Monte Carlo, is most excited over a constitutional crisis, due to the reply of its ruler, Prince Louis Grimaldi, to the National Council’s demand for progressive reforms, instead of a cheeseparing policy, and its protest against a private monopoly controlling the principality’s activities. Prince Louis, at present in France, insists that the constitution must be respected, and the National Council of Twelve, an elected body, w T hich hurriedly met to debate the question, is allegedly in open conflict with the prince. After the debate it resigned in a body. Prince Louis, as an absolute monarch, can dismiss the Minister carrying out the administration of the native-born inhabitants, who alone have a say in the principality’s affairs, though they a minority of the inhabitants. Tourists complain that Monte Carlo has been allowed to grow tawdry and unattractive compared with other Riviera resorts.
