The Cuban Situation.

1t is to be hoped that Cuba will prove capable
of settling for itself the rather ominous disorders
springing from the disputed result of its Presi-
Dental election. In no event, however, can the
United States afford at this critical juncure to let
the island become embroiled in civil strife. Gu
ban revolution requiring American intervention
would be immensely pleasing to certain European
interests, who would not scrupe to foment violence
in that quarter as we'll as in Mexico THAI is tho
peculiarly sinister influence to be anticipated and
far possible forstalled
Secretary Lansing has acted wisely and betimes
in warning Cuba that no Government set up by re-
bellion will be recognized countenanced by the
United States. If unhappiy the disturbances per-
sist and grow extensive, this warning will be
supplemented no doubt by measures of wholesome
force. There is full authority for American dis
cipline in Cuba whenever occasion demands Both
in the Cuban Constitution and in the treaty be-
tween Cuba and the United States. it is stipulated
that:
The Government of Cuba consents that the
United States may exercise the right to inter
vene for the preservation of Cuban independ-
ence. the maintenance of a government ade-
quate for the protection of life, property, and
individual liberty, and for discharging the obi
cations with respect to Cuba imposed on the
United States by the Treaty OF Paris and now
to be assumed and undertaken by the Govern
ment of Cuba"
This prerOgative will be exercised with all
promptness and vigOr if the unruliness grows more
serious. The European situation will prove an in
centive rather than a deterrent to our Government
for the threat of trouble from the other side of the
Atlantic makes it imperative that our interests on
this side be unencumbered by further outbreaks or
revolutions at our doors.

Government and theirs. What, then would they
not attempt in time of war!
In many instances the Government has tounu II
exceedingly difficult deal with such cases because
the existing statutes against oenses of this char
acter are altogether inadequate. Accordingly, the
Department of Justice has recommended, on
basis of its experience during the past two years
fourteen items of legislation needful to safeguard
the nation against such forms of alien intrigue and
violence as already have appeared and may appear
in the future. These recommendations are the SUB"
stance of the bill which the Senate has passed and
which is pending in the House. With so much at
stake. there should be no delay in making this
measure a law. 1t is an instrument of prepared
ness without which the country would be almost
weaponess against peculiarly grave and insidious
