THE request in the president S
Cuban message should be granted
at once by congress. 1t is one of
the first Eduties Of the country to
protect its citizens abroad, and the
members Of the house of represen-
tatives can gain nothing by dilatory
tactics. The president asked for an
appropriation OF $4,000 for the as
sistance Of Americans in Cuba, but
members of the house refuse to
make the appropriation unless the
recognition of the Cubans is at
tached. BY making this appropri-
alton it will necessitate Il thorough
investigation of conditions in Cuba,
and must result in benefit to the
suffering Cubans. 1t is better to
take what we can get, than to refuse
Il little because we want all Cuban
recognition, and the success of the
Cuban cause, will come in time,
but Americans in Cuba must be
looked out for meantime.
