DEFENDS PRESIDENT CABRERA
Minister Herrarte Says Guatemalan
Executive Is No Monster.
Intends No BeprisaIs I'm Return for
Attempted AssassinatiOn-COm-
pared with Mr.. Roosevelt.

Minister Herrarte, of Guatemala, is in
dignant over the reports which charge
that his government is attempting to
perpetrate outrages on humanity in re-
prisal for the recent attempt to assasinate
President Cabrera.
1T would seem, +" says Minister Herrarte,
in statement issued from the Guat4-

lberate effort is being made TO prejudice
public opinion in the United States against
the administration Of the government of
Guatemala. The design evidently is %
| depict President Cabrera as an inhuman
monster, whose agents infiict indescrib-
able tortures upon men, women, and chill
dren Of families that happen To be op-
/ posed In opinion 20 his administration
| In addition 10 being charged with re-
sponsbility for cruelties that would hava
| been repulsive In the darkest ages Of his
! tory, he is accused Of depressing labor
/ and Of inviting famine for a million OF
people by c0nscripti0n Of 6o0e9 men. for
IN army
"The truth is that the entire admins
/ tTatiOn OF President Cabrera has been de-
''lfu lo lHe ueFtl9NIleui OF til5 resources
/ Of Guatemala. through the increase Of It's
peaceful prosperity, and 10 the promotion
/ Of its industry. He resembles remarkably
/ President Roosevelt, in that he advocates
work as the true source Of individual hap
piness and Of national welfare Instead
/ Of torturing people. his conduct Of tho
/ government has been directed patiently
and persistently toward their elevation
/ and Improvement. through the develop
ment OF the country and through educ8-
/ ton He has introduced into Guatemala
/ and blended with Latin-American tradl-
! tions and customs more so-caIled Anglo

any other independent Spanish speaking
