the centuries OF Spanish rule. This has
direct bearing upon our own welfare
Cuba is so near TO Us that We can never
be Indifferent to misgovernment and dis
aster within its limits. The mere fact that
our administration IN the island has min
imized the danger from that dreadful
scourge Of yellow fever alike TO Cuba
and TO ourselves, is sufficient 10 empha-
size the community Of interest between
US. But there are other interests which
bind US together. Cuba position makes
it necessary that her political iatons
with US should differ with her political
relations with other powers. This fact
has been formulated by US and accepted
by Cuba IN the Platt amendments. II
follows as corollsry that where the Cu-
bans have thus assumed a position Of
peculiar relationship q our political sys-
TEN, they must similarly stand in a Pc
culiar relation 70 our economic system
I'VE have rightfully insisted upon Cuba
adopting toward US an attitude differing
politically from that she adopts toward
any 9th power; and in return. as
matter OF right. We must give 20 Cuba
diderent--that is, better-position eco
nomically in her relations with us than
we give to other powers This is the
course dictated by sound policy. by
wise and far sighted view of our own in
terest and by the position We have ts-
ken during the last four years. we are
wealthy and powerful country deal
ing with a much weaker one. and the
contrast in wealth and strength makes il
all the more our duty 70 deal with Cuba
as we have already dealt with her in
spirit OF large generosity.
PRAISE FOR EXPOSITION
This exposition is rendered possible
because Of the period of Industrial pros
perity through which we are passing.
While material Wen-being is never ALL
sufficient in the life Of a nation. yet it is
the merest truism 10 say that it's alb
sence means ruin. We need 10 build a
higher life upon It as a foundation; but
We can build little indeed unless this
foundation Of prosperity is deep and
broad. The well-being which we are now
enjoying can be secured only through
general business prosperity. and such
prosperity IS conditioned upon the ener-
gy and hard work. the sanity and tho
mutual respect OF all classes Of capitalists
both large and small. OF wageworlIers in
every degree. As is inevitable In time ~
prosperity. some men succeed more than
others. and il IS unfortunate, also iueyi-
table. that when this IS the case some
unwise people are sure to appeal 20 the
envy and jealousy OF those who succeed
least. II IS a good thing when these ap-
peals are made to remember that whsle
It is difficult TO increase prosperity by
law, 10 is easy enough 70 ruin Il: ard
that there is small satisfaction to the
less prosperous II they succeed IN over
throwing both the more prosperous and
themselves In the common disaster.
LESSONS OF PROSPERITY
Every Industrial exposition OF this
type necessarily calls up The thought OF
the complex social and economic ques-
tons which are involved iu our prozert
industrial system. Our astounding ma
terial prosperity. the sweep and rush
rather than the mere march of our pro-
gressive material development have
brought grave troubles IA their train.

bies any more than because we can af-
