The New York Sun protests
against representatives of the
Cuban republic visiting London
with a view to negotiating a loan
OF $685. 600, 600 agreed on in the Gu
ban Congress. The San says that
according to the Plat amendment
Cuba may not assume or con-
tract any debt to pay the interest
upon which, and to make sinking
fund provision for the ultimate
discharge OF which, the ordinary
revenues of the island after paying
the current expenses of govern
ment shall be inadequate" And
then the Sun which, by the way. is
generally understood to be one of
j. Pierpont Morgan's organs, says
that it is clear that Cuba cannot go
ahead and contract a large debt
especially in Europe" without
assuring our government that she
is not gripping herself. The San
also fears that "the very fact that
we imposed conditions on the Gu
ban republic in the matter of bor-
rowing might lead it's creditors to
think hat we guarantee the ulti-
mate payment of the loan" All
this, being interpreted, means that
ii the Cuban statesmen do not de-
sire that the Plat amendment be
rigidly Interpreted, they will do
well to do their negotiating among
the financiers whose interests are
represented by the New York Sun.
