acquisition of territory. and that. under
present conditions. we would not take Cuba
as gift. and we also know that the Amer
lean pig is very much i'll evidence at home
and in demand abroad for his various food

the Spanish people? Can anybody name an
animal sufficiently cruel, treacherous, vim
dictive. deceitful and blood-thirsty to stand
for them?
