TEND the session Of the convention.
You krow my trip was devoted to the
eastern part Of the island and all that
can say Is that conditions there were
much the yame as found them last
spring In the western section"
This reference to his investigation in
the western part Of the island is taken
to mean that Mr.. Root has found that
practically all cubans are trying 70 ac-
qnire education In the art Of self-gov-
ernment and that they are not impa-
tient to assume the direction Of their
own affairs. At the same time. It IS
said. he appreciates the great mass Of

OF self-government even II he expert
ment should fail and annexation TO the
United States should follow,
II Il also said that Mr.. Root does not
believe annexation at this time is a
practical question and he is giving It no
consideration. He would not discuss
