THE PRESIDENCY
CONDITIONS IN SPAIN WHY DON AZANA RESIGNED IMPOSSIBLE TO GARRY ON (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received March 1, 3.15 p.cn.) PARIS, Feb. 23 Senor Barrio said he refuses to accept the Presidency pending the decisions of the Republican Government. Don Azana, in his letter resigning the Presidency, said: "The political mechanism of the State Parliament, with the representation of parties, having disappeared, 1 lack both inside and outside Spain those organs of counsel and action indispensable for the Presidential function. It is impossible under these conditions to keep even in name the post which I renounced the day i left Spain, because I hoped to use the lapse of time in the interests of peace.” EMBASSY IN PARIS TAKEN OVER BY NATIONALISTS FORMER THRONE MISSING (United Press Assn.—Elec.
