A chiral aspon model is constructed which avoids problems with quantum gravity violation of continuous global symmetries. The model contains only gauged local symmetries before spontaneous symmetry breaking, has no vectorlike fermions with bare mass terms, solves strong [ital CP] conservation, and has calculable weak [ital CP] violation. The model requires axigluons with mass locked to the aspon scale.
