Side by side the two mounted the

his hat as he entered; and the others,
after a gasp of comprehension, did
likewise.
In the middle of the room, on two
trestles, surrounded by fiaring tapers,
rested coffin draped in black. whose
open glass front revealed the figure of
q, huge man whose waxen features
bore, even in death, an ineffacelble air
of majesty and mastery. Archman
looked at him reverently. This is his

to Archman. You can, of course, fur

questioned.
"Yesw Archman rose from a safe

came forward. In his hands he held a

PRESIDENT OF
CUBA TRIES TO

Government Anxious
For Peace With Rebels
tspeelal 70 The palIy Workerl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
HAVANA, Cuba, May 5.-For the
first time in the history Of Cuba's in
ternal troubles and revolutions a
president has gone to front Of actual
fighting. President Zayas has arrived
at Cienfuegos to investigate person
ally the insurrection. 1t is said that
the government is very anxious to
make peace with the rebels and is
ready to grant amnesty to all rebel
forces.
Because Of the presidents order
suspending the two leading papers of
Havana, El Sol, morning paper and
Ell Heraldo, another very influential
daily, 1t is hard to get accurate news.
Most of the news sent to the United
States so far has passed thru the
hands of such agents of the Zayas
government as, for example, the high
officials of the United Railways of Ha-
vana.
Meanwhile fighting is proceeding
with intensity in several sections of
the mountainous country. Federico
Laredo Bru, veteran of the Cuban
war of independence, is one Of the
leaders of the rebels. Aldo Baroni,
director of the newspaper Ell Heraldo,
which has recently been very out
spoken in its opposition to the Zayas
administration and has been waging
a strong propaganda campaign in be-
half of an independent Latin-Ameri-
can movement as against American
aggression, has just been ordered ex-
PEELED from the country as "a PERM
cious person"
The government is counting on the
American stock of ammunition and
arms to crush the revolt, if the rebels
refuse to surrender. Despite its re-
peated statements that the outbreak
is insignificant and not widespread,
the authorities fear its possible de-
velopments.
A proclamation just issued by the
National Association of Veterans that
the definite hour of action and OF
sacrifice has come" is especially dis
quieting to the government.

''except in certain specialized
lines such as automobiles. Your
cost Of production is too high.
You have too many luxuries and
you pay your labor as much per
day as we do per week"
He declared that the apparent pros
perity of American industry would
not last, adding. you are filling the
demands of your local markets which,
since the war, have been dormant.
Your prosperity may continue for
some time-cay is months, but not
much longer"
Balfour thinks it will take several
years of depression to teach America
the remedy. In England, he said,
they experienced just such trade
paralysis and are just beginning to
wake up to the fact that the only
remedy is to cut labor costs.
This is a clear forecast of what Ia
Dor has to expect from the capitalist
fight for world markets. Successive
reductions in British wages have
brought many primary producers to
level scarcely so per cent above
pre-war while the cost of living ranges
about so per cent above that level.
In other words, the pre-war standard
of living of the British working class
has been seriously impaired.
This impairment of the wage earn
er's living standard in the interest of
a commercial empire is nothing new
to British history. Frank vanderlip,
former president Of the National City
Bank, in his book, What Happened
to Europe" describes the stunted pop
ulation of English manufacturing
centers as due to the red ink over
draft" which British industry has
made on its physique of her citizens
in order to compete for foreign mar
kets.
Balfour expects this fatal policy to
move across the Atlantic to the Unit
ed States where previously the sacri-
fee of working class well-being has
been in the interest of building domes-
tic industrial capacity to a point
where foreign markets became a
necessity. And as Balfour is presi-
