AS VIEWED BY THE CUBANS

The following is from FL Mundo, Cuban paper published at Havana
The United States is going to act as England did in Egypt; nor
as France has acted n Tunis; o az Italy has acted in Trpoli. The
United States will not indulge in the Moroccan intrigues of France AMI
Spain. Mexico shall preserve her independence; Mexico shall continue
to be a republic. 1t is quite impossible to think that the United States
will sun a military occupation OF the territory which is to be perma-
nen in character. President Wilson has declared that he will give to
the Mexican people an opportunity OF passing their own laws and found
ing a government, organic, firm and stable.
Without that doctrine, which is really the center OF the independence
the governments OF Europe would have invaded the rights OF these Latin
peoples. Europe has appropriated the territory OF Egypt. the territories
Of North Africa, Tunis and Trpoh, Morocco, and the country OF the
Beers. japan has also taken Korea into its charge. Such invasion and
appropriation have been possible because the peoples who Wer thus de
spoiled did not enjoy the protection Of a Monroe doctrine. which would
have saved them from foreign invasion as the Spanish American, have
been saved.
have been debarred from establishing firm and just governments and
from cuhivaing that material and intellectual advancement which is the
bulwark Of their nationality. As it happens, these republics have become
formidable and respected throughout the world. This is evidenced il
the present national character OF Argentina. Brazil and Chile. There IS
an exception in the case OF Mexico. 1t is Il pity that the Don QuNotes
OF Mexico have induced its government to resist the United States.
These recalctrants are just as Witless as those in Spain who in 1893
undertook the a policy OF resistance, believing in their childish way
that they we're able to conquer the United States. immense as vas is
population, its wealth, its fleet and its vast resources. We Cubans. while
in u heart we depore the actual conflict, nevertheless W a debt Of
gratitude to the United States, without whose assistance Cuba would
be today the efete colony o a European monarchy.
