quieted by Secretary Knox's recent note
of warning is about to break out anew
as a result Of the Cuban supreme court
decision invalidating the law ousting
officeholders who were Spanish sympa-
thizers during the revolution
Effect of Decree.
Literal execution of the courts decree
would involve the reinstatement of a
large number of displaced ofhceholders
and dismissal Of the so-called veterans
who were put in their places. With this
in prospect, the leaders of the Veteran
Association are said to be in an ugly
humor, and if they should attempt to
resist the decree serious trouble would
ensue. The veterans who are both
numerous and powerful, abated their de-
mands for complete expulsion from gov
ernment positions Of all Spanish SYM
pathizers only under pressure Of the i'm

contained in Secretary Knoxs note in
forming the Gomez administration that
the United States would insist upon the
