Trade Unionism is on a much higher
level now than it was in 1900 or 1918,
and every man who claims to be. a
real, genuine trade unionist must rise
to the same level that trade unionism
has reached in recent years.
Fortunately, the cause of trade un-
ionism ALWAYS has been blessed with
brainy and aggressive leaders-men
who were we'll informed regarding

In the United States any tele-

telegraph office and dictate a
telegram. Practically every

ice will appear on his next tele-
phone bill. In France, however,
the procedure is different.
There the telephone subscriber
may dictate the telegram over

be sent on it's way he must have
on deposit a sum sufficient to
cover the cost of sending the
message.

Editorial Comment
An Alliance With Cuba7
IN Y. Tribune) .

IN. Y. Tribune)
The Cuban Society of International
Law has added the weight of its ap=-
poval to the proposal to supersede
the Plat amendment by treaty of
alliance with the United States.
When we went to war with Spain
in 1898 we announced that we had no
intention to annex Cuba. When the
war was won and Cuba was in our
possession it was necessary to work
out some plan whereby our pledge
could be redeemed without turning
the Cubans loose on course of re-
publican government for which they
had practically no training.
Their constitution was drawp up
and the Ameican authorities pro-
cured the addition Of the so called
Platt amendment. This left certain
the United States. Washington re-
tanned measure of supervision over
Cuban foreign relation and debts,
could enforce a minimum of sanitary
control and, il necea sary, use it's
forces to preserve order in the coun-
try.
On several occasions American
troops have landed to put down or
prevent revolution. While those who
have been kept in power may have
appreciated this service. the remain
der Of the Cuban politicians have
never ceased to anathematize the
Platt amendment as derogatory to
the sovereign dignity of the Cuban
Republic, and to charge the United
States with using it as a cover for
schemes for the ultimate annexation
of the island.
The better class of Cubans, those
VINO have a substantial interest In
the orderly development of the cout
try, are fully aware of the beneficial
effects Of the amendment and do not
hesitate to say-in private-that
without it Cuba would become the
prey of her politicians. The steady-
ing hand of Uncle Sam, they admit,

KNOW WHERE WE ARE AT

THE greatest danger that we
have to contend with in politics is
Indifference" declared Ex- Governor
Baxter in a recent address He
would have the members of both
parties get out and vote their con-
victions. He had not recommended,
as reported, that he favored a law
like that in Australia, where the
voter failing to vote is fined ten
dollars, as he is not sure how 1t
would work. He is sure, however,
that we do not wish to reach the
predicament of countries like France
with ten political parties, Germany
with IS and Spain with 20.
Mr.. Bakers apprehensions are not
unfounded. We have been able to
get ahead remarkably in this coun-
try on the two party system. When
elections have been over we then
knew where to place responsibility
Had there been a dozen parties, with
all the possibilities for trading back
and forth, we would not have known
what to expect. There's jockeying
enough as it is. We do not want
greatly to encourage it by splitting
up into blocs. Let's get out and vote
for one or the other OF the two
great political parties and when the
returns are all in we may know with
some assurance where we are at.

middle class In other countries. It
must remain until Cuba has such a
middle class.
But these same Cubans, while they
would not lose the beneficial
influence Of the United States, would
like to see that influence present in
some form less offensive to national
dignity than that of the Plat amend
treaty giving the United States all
the rights 1t has under the amend
ment but relieving Cuba from the
invidious implications OF foreign
tutelage.
There is more than pride involved.
Practically such a change might have
A beneficial effect both In internal
Cuban politics and in relations with
the United States. 1t would deprive
the Cuban politico Of what is now an
ever-ready issue--alleged American
imperialism.
