Cuba's Future Rests <
Upon New Standards 1

." " ; i
Havana, Cuba, Sept. 29.?Hdroiclj
doses of patriotism, self-administer-1 {
'ed by Cuba, have marked the course ,
of treatment prescribed by Major ,
General F. H. Crowder since he began
his diagnosis last May of the j
evils that were ravaging the self- t
government organs of the island re- i
public. ... ' ,
Taking their cue from the consult- {
ing physician sent by President Hard- j,
ing, and with the causes of the decline
in national credit and internal j
(government efficiency made plain in j
the general's 13th memoranda, the as- (
fristSng Cuban doctors and nurses be- j
gan drastic measures. I
Through intellectual, commercial t
and patriotic organizations and by ]
parade, manifestation, mass meet- t
ings, resolution and editorial, the ne? f
cessity for new standards of good ,
government was made plain. Never ;
in the course of Cuba's 20 years of f
independent government, according f
to impartial observers, have the peo- <
pie received so intensive instruction i
in patriotism, the rights and .oblige j
. tions of self-government, and the
: scope of the Piatt amendment to the j
constitution, which fixes the extent ,
the responsibilities assumed by the j
United States in vouching for the i
Cuban Republic before the nations of ,
t*he world. % ]
Hlhe events that marked a reeent ]
extraordinary council of the Veterans
of (foban Wars of Independence are I
typical ef AH the recently held patriotic
movements. Reports that Cuba
was threatened with American intervention,
which followed partial
publication of the lftth Crowder me- j
moranda and his demand on August (
30th, that oonfrrees take quiek action t
on emergency legislation, resulted in t
an S O S call to the veterans.

jr's recommendations had been get;ing
firmer and firmer, intervention
lever had been threatened nor even
linted. The presidents of the house
ind senate denied that congress ever
lad been subject to foreign pressure.
ind declared that the five laws it
was considering were the product of
2uban initiative and patriotism.
The same assurances were given by
President Zayas to the organizers of
i great parade of Masons, which deiled
recently before the chief execu;ive.
Similar statements were made
it meetings of engineers, architects,
>usiness men and politicians.
Exhaustive discussion of the politcal
and financial crisises confrontng
the government and the scope of
General Crowder's mission, resulted
n attentive studies in news and editorial
columns of Cuba's relations to
he United States as defined in the
Piatt Amendment. Despite flurries
?f feelinr caused bv nartisan attacks
>h the Zayas administration for its
illeged complaisance before Washngton,
and cm the American congress
or increasing the tariff on sugar, the
general conclusion was reached that
3uba must save herself and that the
United States was giving her full op>ortunity.
In addition to the .flood of newspaper
and oratorical comment/ the
-eform flurry was marked by the pubicaticn
of books dealing with CubanAmerican
relations. Among these
ire numbered "The Peril of the
Eagle," "Under the Claw," and "The
Piatt Amendment."

Seattle, Wash., Sept. 29.?One of
the most spectacular chapters in the
annals of world wide postal delivery
may be written when Captain Donald
Amundsen, famous Norwegian explorer,
wings his way across the top
of the world in his proposed attempt
to fly an airplane from the tip of
Alaska to northernmost Europe via
the North Pole. With him in his
monoplane will ride a mail sack containing
letters written by Nome residents
for delivery to friends in Europe.
If weather conditions had not
forced a postponement of the flight
until next year, these letters might
have reached their destination a week
ahead of the time required to mak->
delivery by the established routes.
As it is, arriving perhaps more than
a year later, they will have a priceless
historical value to their recipients
wh will odoubtless follow the affairs
of their explorer-postman with
intensified interest.
According to a report by Postmaster
Walsh of Nome to local postal of
nciai8, ine letters were written wnw>
Captain Amnndsen waa about to depart
from the raining: camp on his
way to Wainwright, 100 miles southwest
of Point Barrow, where he wtH

for his proposed flight.
