9 MORAL OBLIGATION TO CUBA.

It has been frequently urged by mem
bers Of congress, among them we now re-
call. TaWney, Eddy and Morris of Min
nesota, that the United States has done
,sffSr ieubas much more than it was required
sfo do. Ethat#there is no moral obligation
to do anything more. . Mr.. Eddy has very
recently asserted this view in emphatic
terms. A very good answer to this con-
tention is; to be found in an article in
the September McClure's Magazine by
William Allen White from which the fol-
lowing is an excerpt:
1.-THE relation of the United States to
Cuba since war was declared against
Spain has been very much like the rela-
ton between the Good Samaritan and
the man who fell among thieves on
the Jericho road And yet before war
was declared. and during the progress of
was another relation between Cuba and
not generally realize and few understood.
It was the responsibility of this nation
for the conditions in Cuba. To COM
prehend Cuba to-day and our duty there,
it is necessary to consider the situation
In Cuba, and Americas responsibility for
it., during the four years preceding the
Spanish war. It will be remembered
that under the provisions of the McKin-
ley law, passed in 1890, Cuban products
were: admitted to the United States free.
There are but two exportable staples in
Cuba-sugar. and tobacco. Under the
provisions of the Mckinley law Cuban
sugar planters thrived. The sugar out
put; of the island reached its maximum.
And because sugar is the great staple
Of the island there was prosperity every

Opportunities-in Cuba.

Opinions as to the openings in Cuba for
American capital and energy are conflict,
ing, but Victor S. Clark, a graduate of the
state university and now special agent of
the United States Bureau of Labor, writes
in the current Opportunity that there are
very promising fields of activity for the
American farmer and the American cap
italist. IL
Cuba holds out few inducements to the
American laborer, skilled or unslSilled,
though the. country is deficient in both
kinds. The unskilled labor will be brought
from other countries than the United
States and the skilled workman could<no
be induced to remain in Cuba as coridi-
tions now are. OF course the introduce
ton Of a large American population would
change the environment to degree that
would make it satisfactory to the Amer
lean workman
Along the healthful high lands of the in
terror Of Cuba, where the climate is not
too severe for a northern born man to
work in the fields, there are vast areas of
cheap but rich land which only await the
coming of a thrifty class of farmers to be.
come extremely productive and wealthy
regions. The Cuban Central railway,

about completed, win 'opehfs? up 20, 900
square miles of such lands. :: It remains
to be seen whether this delightful region
will be developed by small farmers or
great estates. It all depends on labor
IT progressive American farmers, bringing
machinery and prepared to do4a large part
of the mahuaf work Of cultivation with
their own hands. Should come in, the land
will be given up, to small farms. Other
wise corporations will take hold of it and
work it in large tracts with improted; con-
tract labor. =. The laws at present oppose
and are likely to continue to oppose con-
tract labor. If they are rigidly enforced,
the salubrious highlands will have to look
to the individual FARMER for Sdevelopnlent.
Inasmuch as Cuba now imports SIS worth
of food yearly for every inhabitant of tho
island, it is plain that the farmer will
have no difficulty in disposing of his crops
at good prices. - 20 & ~, "
An emigration of; American farmers to
Cuba, while hardly to be.:expected, would
be the best thing that could happen to
Cuba in an economic way It,would sup
ply the republic with a class of people it
greatly needs, both through the. i1nmi-
grants, and the effect of their example
upon the natfves.s, Yet If; Americans do
not take these lands and utilize these OPP

The President Will Win.

The president is going to win on his
Cuban reciprocity plan. *,
At conference of senators and repub-
lican leaders at Oyster Bay yesterday he
indicated very clearly to them that he
would stand for that policy boldly and
strongly on his western trip, and that
he would talk Cuban reciprocity to the
beet sugar people Of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Nebraska just as vigorously as All
any other place. His plan was approved
by the republican conference. The lead
ers recognize the fact that the president
is absolutely right, and that the congress
sional insurgents must give away. =
Cuban reciprocity is right from every
standpoint POLITICAL, and
moral. And it will ever be a matter of
sincere regret that the Minnesota repre-
sentation in congress should have seemed
to place this state, even if only for a>short
time, in a position of hostility. to. a. claim
upon our sense of justice, fairness and
generosity toward the distressed and help
less people of Cuba. .... -, 81. .s...-s .. .
The issue of Cuban reciprocity is not
dead. It is more alive to-day, than it
ever was. as the people who hear from
President Roosevelt on his western tour
will discover. Z! - -:
