suggested in view of the fact that on

October Is will always be day of re-

of the island will take care of that.
They understand the significance of
the occasion and appreciate the bene-
fits that come to them along with the

day for national expansion? Going

FEW CASH CONTRIBUTIONS
Only SIS, 600 so1ar for the Cuban
Relief Fund.
The Opinion Prssaiis rhat This Is
Not the Kind of Help the Patriots
Shou Id Receive.


No one at the State Department, nor
at the White House, is able to explain
why the response to the Presidents s
appeal for aid for Cuba has amounted
to only $4,000 in money.
A high State Department official was
asked to hazard theory TO explain it
but he replied that he did not care to be
interviewed on the subject, as one
mans opinion was as good as anothers.
The unofficial opinion. though. is not
hard to get. 1t is believed certainly III
some quarters that it would require
millions of money to do even decent
share of relief, and that there is no
telling when, under Spanish rule or
the Island, the same conditions may
exist again, say in two or three years
1t is not that there is a lack of SYM
pathy for the poor people of Cuba,
but the popular opinion is that the real
remedy and the only effective remedy is
to take the starving and dis
tressed under the protection of the
American flag. The natural conclu-
sion is that the meageY response is
rebuke to the ways and means of the
Administration in dealing with the
question.
All the reports TO date from Havana
are that the peace and dignity of the
city have been restored by force Of
