Cuba's Latest View OF the Platt
Amendment.

Several weeks ago bill was intro
duoed in the Cuban House OF Repre-
sentatives for the printing and distrl-
button of fifty thousand copies OF the
Cuban Constitution minus the Platt
Amendment. A motion to amend the
bill by providing for the inclusion OF
the Platt Amendment was defeated last
Friday by vote of 10 to is.
The form in which Cuba prints and
distributes her Constitution is no affair
of ours. She may omit as many OF its
ttulos, secciones or driculos as she
sees fit. The recent action of the House
has no significance aside6rom its mani
festation of the persistence Of the OBJ
lection of considerable element OF
the Cuban people to the Platt Amend
ment.
But the Cubans are wrong in their
view of the place which the instrument
now holds. 1t is part OF their Con-
stitution, and will SO continue until
stricken out, as it can be, under the
provision OF Article lis, by resolution
adopted by two-thirds of the total num-
Der Of members of each co-legislative
body The Constitutional Convention
may have accepted it under protest
a. the alternative Of less acceptable
condition; but it was accepted, finally
and definitely, on June IL, 1901, by a
vote Of 10 to II, four members OF the
body abeenting themselves.

amendment might some time be amended
out of the Constitution, the case was
covered by Article VIII. Of the amend
ment itself in a provision that by way
Of further assurance the Government
OF Cuba will embody the foregoing
provisions in a permanent treaty with
the United States" The view OF Con-
gressman VILLUENDAs, a reluctant in
dorser OF the amendment in the con-
vention, that it is no longer part OF
the Constitution for the reason that it is
embodied in permanent treaty, falls to
the ground in the face of the fact that,
90 far as we are aware, this treaty has
not yet been ratified and put into effect
Unless we are mistaken, the instru-
ment reposes in Cuban pigeonhole.
Upon none of the provisions Of the
instrument have the Cubans shown the
slightest disposition to entrench, with
the single exception Of their present
dangerous indifference to its financial
stipulations. Upon that point the pro-
visions OF the instrument drafted by
their own convention constitute as rig id
q restraint as does the Platt Amendment.
The trouble is that the Cubans are just
now trying to dodge both.

The franklin Bicentenary,

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN was born in
Boston, Jan. l6, l708. The Syracuse
Herald suggests that Congress and the
people generally make preparations to
celebrate worthily the two hundredth
anniversary of the birthday of this
famous American, who would be named
by popular acclaim with WASHINGTON
and LINCOLN as a trinity Of greatest
Americans
FRANKLIN is broader and more
sympathetic figure than WASHINGTON
and he was Of much wider experience
as we'll as cultivation than LINCOLN.
His mental and public activities were
so varied that many celebrations would
be needed to do justice to them. The
University OF Pennsylvania, the libraries,
the inventors and men OF science, the
printers. editors and publishers, and
we don't know how many other bodies
and vocations have a special interest
in him.
His faithful, skilful and invaluable
services to the colonies and the new
United States need to be recalled specially
and signally. To mention but one thing,
could the United States have made
good their Declaration OF Independence
without the French alliance? FRANKLIN
was the most accomplished diplomatist

shs best isshmisn canal y he one Sost sasIy n.
built on larger SCALE
.. in this, a. in all other suesested p,ans. the
auxiliary works can ali be readily completed bs.
fore the cusbrs cut. This plan Involving tho least
work on that cut can therefore be completed the
soonest"
Thus 1t will be seen that Major CAS-
sIUs E. GILLETTE, by independent obser-
vation and reasoning has reached prac-
tically the same philosophy OF canal
construction as was expounded in Mr.
BUNAU-VARILLA's sapient and disinter-
ested memorandum submitted to the
President in March and printed in The
Sun about two months ago.
That is TO say, Major GILLETTE, like
the distinguished French engineer, per-
ceives clearly that promptness OF COM
pletion, Ms measured by the extent OF
necessary excavation, and consequently
by the cost of the work, Is the controlling
consideration; that the best canal to dig
on this basis is the canal which can be
most easily transformed to suit future
conditions; and, finally, that the time
required to complete the whole canal is
determined by the time needed to COM
plete the Culebra cut. It's most trouble
some feature.
1t may be noted that Mr.. BUNAu-
VARILLA goes one step beyond the point
now reached by Major GILLETTE on the
same line and in the same direction.
The French engineer recommends a
summit level thirty feet higher than
the one hundred foot level favored by
Major GILLETTE. As the Culebra cut
is now at $50 feet above the sea, only
twenty feet of excavation remain at
that point before the prism Of the canal
itself is reached; and the time needed
for the completion Of the whole work
is thereby shortened, as compared with
one hundred foot level plan.
Such practical considerations as have
led this American engineer and this
French engineer to their respective
conclusions are bound to prevail, We
think, over any theoretical or sentimental
ideas whatsoever.
