Cuba nt the Parting of the Ways.
Al w Hazaltine in North A,naricar D.

M. w. Hazeltne In North American Re-
view.
There is one way, and one way only, in
which the Cubans can acquire new and for
ever, perfect freedom of access to American
markets for the natural products and that
Is by the admission of their island to the
Union. There would be no end to the de-
velopment Of Cuba's natural resources I'M
der such stimulating conditions. Nature
has done more for her than it has done for
Java, which is of almost exactly the same
size; yet. in the short space of a century,
the population of the latter island has in
creased from two TO more than twenty mil
lions. Cuba is standing, in this crisis. at
the parting of the ways. If she chooses. a
destiny more splendid than Java's may be
hers. for she may unite the dignity and
freedom OF American citizenship with a
more than a Jayanese prosperity. If, on
the other hand, the Cubans shall cling to
the barren honor of complete political indie
pendence they will find that 1t means for
them commercial bacxwardness and eco
monte isolation; that American capital,
emigration and enterprise will go elsewhere,
and that soon or late, American tariffs will
foster agricultural industries, not of SELF
ceTltered and self-dependent Cuba but OF
our own tropical domains.
