ent of what can be raised there, for
that length of time. He sighted as an
example the unhappy condition of a
colony of Canadians who had come
there with just means enough to buy a

to live in. They are unable to make
anything like a living, and the Can
adam consul has just told him that it
would be necessary for him to help
them TO return to Canada. Ameri-
cans have engaged in business in a
small way, but too often without sue
cess; it is only those who have means
to take up business on a large scale
that seem to succeed. Mr.. Rogers,
the American consul, claims that to
make money in Cuba requires a large
investment. The man who goes there
with q half million or q million dol
lars and invests wisely, can make
money. Cuban soil, for the most part,
is rich, yet there is q great deal OF
poor land in Cuba, so that n who
seeks investments there ought not
to be in too great 9 hurry, but should
post himself with careful study of con

who are experienced in Cuban pro.
