Cuba: 1898 and 1905.

The United States is once more in
Cuba. Eight years ago it went there
to do what Spain had failed for
three centuries to dO-give the is
land d stable and effective govern
ment. 1t turned Spain out the back
door, and accomplished its purpose.
Cuba was given good government.
It's cities were scrubbed. The
science of sanitation was introduc-
ed. Yellow fever was driven out
Administrator was organized.
When a good, strong, well-oiled
machine Of government was smooth
" running Uncle Sam turned it over
to the people of Cuba. He guaran-
teed them against outside interfer-
ence, gave them d snug deposit in
bank, and a well-furnished estab-
lishment on which TO start in life,
and with his sincerest blessing sail.
ed away.
Since that time Cuba has prosper
ed wonderfully. In every material
way il has been getting on famous
". Capital has fairly crowded to
get in and develop its resources.
Railroads have been built. Cities
have been modernized and largely
rebuilt. New Industries have been
founded and old ones restored. The
United States has made concessions
to Cuban products; not all indeed
that Cuba wished, but more than
they had ever enjoyed before. 1t
seemed as If Cuba, endowed at last
with freedom, and prosperity, and
all good things for which a country
might ask, was az last - realize
every hope of her best wishers.
Yet in the few short years since
the last American troops were taken
from the island all this has been un-
done. Under Spain Cuba was in an
almost chronic condition of rebel
lion. Under her own government
she has 50 soon lapsed into that
traditional situation. Again has the
strong arm of Uncle Sam been held
out to rescue the country from
anarchy.
If there is not a lesson in all this
there is at least an admonition to
patience. 1t is an embarrassing
situation which the Washington
Government faces. Yet if this Gov
eminent was entitled to the coun-
try's support when, eight years ago,
il intervened to save Cuba from the
anarchy which Spain was too weak
and benighted to end, should il not
now have the country's backing in
the effort TO rescue Cuba from the
weakness of her own people?
1t were too much to hope that
any people, misgOverned and misdi-
rected as Cuba had been for cen
turies, should be reformed all at
once. Without ideals, without ex-
perienee, without conception of
what popular government means;
with the adventurers of the world,
attracted by the richness of their
heritage. preying upon their ignor-
ance and their inexperience-it is
small wonder that their trial of in
dependence has been a failure.
RebelHous? Yes: so were our
fathers in 1776- Corrupt? Let the
community that is without that sin
cast the first stone. Turbulent to
the point of civil war? The United
States fought the greatest Of all
civil wars.
Cuba is a condition, not a theory,
Whatever our obligation to it was
in 1898, it is greater now. If inter
vention was right then, it is right
now. If a mistake was made fol
lowing that first Intervention, it
was in too much haste to make good
our national pledge by getting out
again. And if that mistake is re-
peated now it viii be less excusabIe
than then.
