no objection. The only speech made was
that of Mr.. Gallinger. who spoke briefly.
He said he had been impressed at the

Yesterday. with the statements made
there by correspondent who had travel
ed through the stricken district of Cuba.

was an abundance of food in Cuba and
that it was needless to give relief in that
direction. The real trouble he said. was

and prevented from going out to get the

president and the government that the
Cubans be returned from their bondage
