TNlHE President and Mrs. Coolidge
have issued invitations for al
dinner on Friday evening, February
as, on the occasion of the visit Of
President Machado Of Cuba. tol
Washington.
It is not usual for the ruler of
any country to go beyond the
seas during his term Of office.
Since postwar days when King
Albert of Belgium came to US,
Uncle Sam. II remember correctly,
has entertained but one actual ruler,
president Bornot, of Haiti. although
the Presidentselect of several sis
!. ter republics have visited US.
Under Cuban COlOrs
The Cuban government has given
IL consent to President Machado's
visit to this country on the theory
that since he will sail for this coun.
try under the Cuban flag and the
colors of Cuba will fly from the EN-.
hassy in Washington, where he will
he a guest, he will be technically on
Cuban soil. President Machado will
deliver to President Coolidge and to
Secretary Kellogg Of State an invita-.
zion to attend the Pan-American con-
xerence in Havana in 1928. The
Cuban Ambassador and Nine. Fer.
rera, it will be remembered, are CIV
ing a reception at the embassy on
February "a in honor Of the distin-
guished visitor.
Senior Machado visited Washington
while he was President-ele Of Cuba,
and / remember delightful recep.
ton given for him and his daughter
then. 1t was held at the picturesque
Cuban Embassy in upper Sixteenth
Street.
