shall try" said he, "to have the island
attached to our country, first, as ter
ritory, but with the understanding that
statehood will follow as soon as the
territory is ready for it. Since this is
the only ultimate solution ofthe problem
of maintaining Cuban independence with
an American protectorate, we might as
we'll act now, instead of postponing it
indefinitely to no useful end. Cuba is
asking now for reciprocity as means OF
breaking down a part Of the protective
tariff walls on both sides of the line. If
she comes into the United States she
will get not only this partial advantage,
but the whole thing" Mr.. Newlands
SAYS that ne has not yet determined in
Just what form he will offer bis scheme.
In all probability he will press it as an
amendment to the reciprocity treaty.
Mr.. Newlands will probably put his
measure into the shape of an invitation
to Cuba to join the United States, and
not in any mandatory form, or as a con-
dition precedent to any concession to be
granted to her by the United States.
