It has superceded "Dollar Diplomacy" in Ouban attempts to analyze the latest innovation in the ,*Pn American policy of the United States. The recent departure of the personal representative of the American president to Washington, there to confer with his chief on future negotiations, has furnished an opportunity to summarize the results he has Achieved during the twenty-two months he has labored to unscramble the Cuban situation. The belief held in Washington early in 1920, that all was not well with the Island Republic, crystallized into certainty on December 31, of that year, when President Wilson named Major General Enoch H. Crowder his personal representative before President Mario G. Menocal. He was reappointed by President Harding on March 5, 1921. Except for a visit to Washington which lasted from January 11 to February 7, 1921, the former judge advocate general has been as strictly on the job as he was during the cirtical months in which he directed the formation of the national army in the United States. Confronting him upon his arrival in Havana on January 6, 1921, aboard the p. S. S. Minnesota, was a task which can best be judged by outlining what has b4en accomplished. Briefly, it includes: Decongestion of the Havana docks, with the removal to half a hundred bonded warehdffses of goods valued at more than $80,000,000 which had been clogging the channels of commerce. Pacific ' settlement of the ZayasGtomez presidential conflict which otherwise might have brought on civil war. Reduction of the Cuban budget Jxrom $13U,UOU,UUU to *55,UU0,(MH). Partial reorganization of governmental Services, involving the elimi? nation of nearly 15,000 useless em ployees. I Reformation of the first Zayas cabR inet by the removal of seven of the I nine members. I Reorganization of the national lotI tery by ending the illegal collection n of nearly $10,000,000 yearly through I ticket juggling. i Enactment of five emergency laws; I authorizing a $50,000,000 foreign loan B (wjth necessary new taxation) to 0 liquidate the country's floating in1 debtedness; reorganizing the federal 9 accounting system; providing for the classification of the floating debt; I suspending certain provisions of the civil service and electoral codes to I permit. the reform cabinet members I to weed the personnel of their departI ments in the interests of honesty and ^rnviftiy mam, sweep venal officials fiom the Judiciary. There remains to be enacted, after the general's return from Washington, a banking law to cement together the shattered remnants of the old banking structure; measures to : Li! ic^umic cue imtiuu-wiue I evil; a constitutional amendment to 8 permit the formation of a federal dis trict to include Havana and further I reforms in municipal government, and additional safeguards against election frauds. When the Minnesota dropped anchor in Havana harbor her sole passenger found Cuba still balking at paying the fiddler to whose strains the whole country had whirled during the dance of the millions when war time sugar prices had resulted in a flootf of gold, and both the government and the people had moved from Easy Street to Profiteers' Row. The bottom had dropped out of the sugar market; the prosperity bubble had burst under the noses of bankers, merchants, planters and workers, and when the Zayas administration took office on May 20, 1920, it found the national treasury resembled Mother Hubbard's cupboard and that the fiddler waB still shy $50,000,000 on ht* bill. Confronted by a national crisis, General Crowder first devoted hfs attention to decongesting the port; preventing civil war by inducing the rival factions to submit their case to the courts and rechicing the budget alout ^0 percent. Theh he sat back and gave the administration a year in which to show its metal, meanwhile "" gathering information on the various lay phases of the republic's activities. During eleven months of watchful ob- waiting, little was accomplished bj at- the administration, which before lonf became the target for* such bittel is popular criticism that the oppositioi nd- press became almost treasonable li its utterances. In view of this stab lay of affairs, the American emissary be B gan to manifest sighs of Utertt ac tivity and, drawing on the store o facts he had painstakingly compiled P61" he sent a memorandum to Presideri the Alfredo Zayas on April 6, suggesting reforms. Memorandum No. 1 wi nds followed by elfevfcn others at interval rop up to May 16-, and the dozen war summarized on July 21 by No. 113 rge which alone has been utade public, ney .The last note pointed out that "th financial crisis throtigh which thi Government of Cuba is passing i fraught with unusual and unprecS dent danger# to the republic, and uh usual and unprecedented- meaaure _ must be adopted," dealt with" hrtKb I fmnkness with charges of craft am malfeasance III' public ofBce, and lef little doubt In the mttdd of mtttr Cu I bam that fnWrventfon ' Wda' H|h arouhd the corner unless they tool II the reform cures without delay.

Throughout the 'BPboll aroused 2 through partial anfi ^foretimes twist- Jl ed versions of his riftfetttunendations, J| and despite mote tM^Hie anti-every- J thing-American cahipfth, the Ameri- \ can representative has not swerved %i one hair's breadth ffrrffe the program ? he laid out cn his Ifirival. Backed J by the American goWrttirient's con- J ception of its duty toward Cuba, he 1 has taken as his mdtto a paragraph S from the instructionb'lgiven the Phil- v ippine Commission thflPOO by Presi- ? dent McKinley, which" said: ^ "In all forms of ftbVeirument and administrative pfovtfttbnS they are 1 authorized to prescHpP* the commis- J sion should bear in mind that the gov- w crnment which they a?e establishing ? is designed, not ftlir ?&* satisfaction nor for the e?pi?iill of .our theoretical views, but foflthe happiness, 3 peace and prosperity of the people of 1 the Philippine Islands aad the meas- j ures adopted should be made to con- *2 form to their custMts, their habits and even their prejtiMces to the full- <? est extent consistent with the ac- 3 complishment of the indespensible t requisites of Just aBd efficient govern- | ment." * * *4 The ideal back of t^e "one man in- <2 tervention" is the dbUtlopment by the ? Cubans themselves 0# the institution- 3 al life of the republic The practical ^ working out of thfa) ideal was well 3 demonstrated in CWueral Crowder's handling of the Zajlli-Gomez election \ feud. The executive.'and legislative branches of the government had failed to settle it and, tb prevent a re- 3 course to arms, bo^f rivals agreed to 1 [leave the matter to the courts. More \ than 1,400 disputed election cases *4 were consolidated the underlying <2 issue was placed before the supreme ? court. Both candidates had accepted 3 the tribunal as absolutely unpreju- 3 diced and, when the decision fell in ^ favor of Alfredo Zayas, the verdict J was final as far as the United States was concerned. y In an authoritative study of the *< election solution, Dr. Rafael Montoro, A former secretary of itate, pointed out 1 that the recourse to the supremo court in the presidential election was v a triumph of law ovit revolution, and <1 that the court's action forestalling a 40 foreign verdict, was an important <8 step forward in the development of 3 the institutional lifdof the republic. > In spite of all aBempts from in- V te rested sources a despotic j iiiwrvdiwr uui nt w pprewnuiuve v of the prealderrtJfcQ iMPnited States, ? last six, months * 11 ^almost ^ Completely to his t. ?5.e^'that he is 4 j generally accepted at his own valua- * i tion?that of friendly adviser whose ? counsels are based on unassailable 4 facts and whose efforts have been 4 directed to encourage the develop- . ment of institutional government and avoid further foreign intervention 4 and armed warfare at home. 4 This favorable attitude, formed 4 through the study of his accomplish- <3 ments and without a single official X statement from the emissary himself, | and in spite of wild flurries of ex- 4 citement caused by intervention re- *4 ports, is expected to facilitate the solution of the few pressing problems A that remain to be solved.

Finally Marshal Rustad announced that the jail's capacity had been reached. "All right," said Judge Morris, "we will fill the Wright county jail. And thus the work went forward, until not only had the Wright county jail received its capacity assignment I but also that of McLeod coutity before Judge Morris announced that he would call it a day.

Gothenburg, Sweden, at the International Congress of Master Printers on June 4, 5, and 6 of next year. The initiative in bringing about this congress has been taken by the Swedish Master Printers' Association, and Waldemar Zachrisson, president of the association, reports that American, English, and French representatives are among the first to accept the invitations. The programs for the three days call for discussion of novelties in the printing world; a comparison of striking national variations; th? standardisation, so far as possible, of methods, material, and machines, ways and means of improving shop conditions; reductions of costs while assuring printers and employers fair wages and profits, and a number of other equally interesting subjects. There is $50,000 worth of sheet brass on the Lusitania. t
