Must W. Reoccupy Cuba

The belief was current some days ago
among persons usually well informed
that Secretary TAFr's attempt to avert
armed Intervention by bringing about
a compromise between the Moderates
and the Liberals would miscarry, how
ever well meant and wisely planned,
because the Moderates would prefer
and compel intervention il any SUBJ
stantial concessions to their political
opponents were proposed. Their own
notion of a compromise was to promise
little and surrender nothing, as was
shown by their refusal to liberate infiu-
entail Liberals whom they had thrown
into prison on the charge Of conspiracy.
The Liberals, on the other hand, exhibited
more common sense, and are understood
to have agreed, at Secretary TAFT's sug-
gestion, that President PALMA and Secre-
tary Of Finance STERLING should retain
their Offices, provided the other members
of the Cabinet would resign and new
Parliamentary and municipal elections
should be ordered. This offer, though
on its face reasonable and equitable,
was repealed angrily by the members Of
the Palma Government, who seem. to
have taken for granted that Secretary
TAFT, while protesting to be an impartial
mediator, would really prove a partisan
Of their own. Undeceived on this point,
they threw of TIE mask of patriotism
and disclosed the truth that rather than
renounce their Offices they would see the
independence Of their country wrecked.
Such men are glsringly unfit for places Of
trust, and Cuba will be we'll rid Of them.
II, as now seems scarcely avoidable, we
have to reoccupy Cuba, IL In patent that
only Havana and other seaports could
be g%arrisoned with sailors and marines,
and that for the maintenance of order in
the interior Of the island a considerable
part Of the Regular army will be needed.
How long the intervention may continue
will depend, Of course, upon the spirit
in which it is received. If, during the
interregnum, industrial and commercial
interests are safeguarded, and if the Gov
eminent that shall DO the outcome Of the
new elections can be trusted to protect the
lives and property OF foreigners and pre-
serve tranquility and order throughout
the island, our military and naval forces
can soon be recalled. In that event our
interference will serve only as a whole
some warning, and make for an honest
and efficient administration Of insular
affairs.
II will be the fault. of the Cuban
people If the reoccupation which is row
threatened should be permanent. Pres
ident ROOSEVELT is evidently convinced
that the Cuban people ought not to
be pronounced incapable of self-gov-
eminent because they have failed in
their first experiment. Equity seems to
require that they should have an oppor-
tunity to try once more. The Cubans
themselves must realize, however, that
recourse cannot be made every a
or two to Intervention. We cannot be
expected to bear the cost and trouble of
policing the island and supervising new
elections whenever the Cubans happen
10 be dissatisfied with their existing
Government.

clared intention to W the Congress
in extraordinary session for the purpose
Of receiving the resignation Of all the
administrative officials and all the Mod
crate Congressman. A way would then
be open for the remaining Congressmen
to elect new officials and form a lev Gov
eminent. But this plan seems blocked
by the later decision OF the Moderate
leaders-that their Congressman shall
retain their seats and prevent action
by non-attendance at the session, thus
preventing a quorum. The present policy
puts the Moderates distinctly In the
wrong, and in this attitude they are mere
Obstructionists.
Secretary TAFT is not yet at the end OF
his patience or resources. though both
are severely tried. Nevertheless il must
be admitted that there 10 grave danger
that within a few days Mr. TAFT may
be compelled by conditions beyond his

this will not be done until II shall have
been determined beyond question that

and that Intervention Is the only possible
