our ReIations with Cubn.

All of our adyices from Cuba tend TO
show that in quiet way the sentiment
favorable TO annexation To the United
States is spreading through the island.
Already ii has gained very consider
able strength among the business men.
Trade considerations are the potent
factor which is doing this work, but
such an outcome will be of prime inn
portance TO both countries in other
ways.
BY the acceptance of the Piatt
amendment the sovereignty of Cuba is
sharply limited. The island becomes. in
effect, a dependency Of the United
States. II is subject to the paramount
authority Of the American Government.
but with NO voice III shaping the policy
of that Government Practically. Cuba
will have no International standing. as
its treaties must of necessity be sub
ject TO the supervision Of the United
States. Even the local affairs Of the
CUbans Will be 10 a considerable extent
under American control Such a SOW
ereignty carries with il very little that
can be satisfactory to Cuban pride and
the surrender Of il viii be but a small
sacrifice. None, in fact. when in return
is received an hOnOred position in the
great sisterhood of American States.
This Of course viii include all the trade
advantages which any part Of the Re
public enjoys. and it will be of inestim-
able value 20 the Cubans. The cir
-cumstance that they are now so urg-
emily pleading for commercial conces-
sions is suggestive Of how important
complete annexation will be to them
II it is an advantage to remove one half
Of the duties il viii be a double ad-
vantage 10 remove them all
OF course this proposition is being an
tagonized by "a few special interests in
this country. That is to be expected;
but il would be- monumental stupidity
for us to allow hidebOund adherence
To a policy that is rapidly becoming OBJ
sOlete stand in the way OF the Repub-
Hes legitimate growth. Especially so
when the interests referred to are op-
posed to the general interests Of the
great mass Of the people-which is the
fact in this case
The annexation Of Cuba has been an
American aspiration for sixty years,
and when the sentiment Of the people
of that island is ripe for such a move,
the selfsh1es Of a few sugar and to-
bacco men in the United States should
not be allowed 10 prevent or even 70
delay the contamination. We should
cultivate the feeling which is growing
there by every just and proper means.
We cannot do better than to inaugu-
rate a policy Of broad and generous
reciprocity with that island. This done
We may be sure that the time viii not
b. far distant when the Cubans OF their
own free viii and accord will be only
too glad To lay down a sovereignty
which means nothing. and become an
integral part Of the worlds greatest
Republic.

shipbuiIding and Protection.

It is now claimed that the building
Of the Retvizan for the Russian Gov
eminent is q complete answer TO the
demand for free ships and more liberal
navigation laws. inasmuch as without
thu protection that has been afforded.
We should have been navigating ships
built abroad instead Of building them at
home.
This claim Is weak in two ways First.
a. presents the common error which
peryades All the contentious Of the ex-
treme protectionists, that OF assuming
broadly that there would have been no
progress on any line Of manufacture
without their pet policy. Il is entirely
RratuiJoUs 10 assert that without pro-
lection we would have built no ships.
The fact is that before the exclusive
policy was adopted we had one Of the
finest fleets of merchant ships in the
world. and there is no reason 10 doubt
that under like conditions we would
have continued 20 build them. u is
nothing less than absurd 10 contend
that policy which has made il more
expensive 10 construct vessels in this
country has caused more Of them 10
be built Moreover. the present demand
for shipping subsidies is, in itself. an
admission that the protective policy has
not developed our ocean marine The
whole plea FOR a subsidy Is based upon
the claim that we cannot build and
navigate ships as cheaply as other
countries can II is perfectly obvious
that protective duties upon those mate
rails which enter into the construction
Of ships must add 10 their cost.
The second point Of weakness in the
contention IS that il deals entirely with
the past and ignores present conditions
Whatever may have been the force OF
the protection argument twenty years
ago. the fact is that we are now buiIE-
ing some Of the finest ships in a Sc
competition with other cOuntries. which
proves that II We ever needed rrote--
ton for this industry. the necessity NJ
longer exists. II one hrst-cIass ship can
be built In American yards there is no
reason why more cannot be- Ia truth
