.Cuba's Future Rests
Upon New Standards

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 29.-Heroic
sdoses Of patriotism, self-administer-
ed by Cuba, have marked the course
Of treatment prescribed by Major
General F. H. Crowder since he be-
gan his diagnosis last May of the
,evils that were ravaging the self

Taking their cue from the consult.

ing, and with the causes of the de-
cline in national credit and internal
government efficiency made plain ir

sistdng Cuban doctors and nurses be.
gan drastic measures.
Through intellectual, commercial
and patriotic organizations and by
parade, manifestation, mass meet
ings, resolution and editorial, the ne.
cessity for new standards of good
government was made plain. Never
in the course of Cuba's 20 years of
independent government, according
to impartial observers, have the peo.
pie received so intensive instruction
e: in patriotism, the rights and, obliga-
tions of self-government, and the
scope Of the Platt amendment to the
constitution, which fixes the extent

United States in vouching for the
Cuban Republic before the nations ei
