leader OPTIMISTIC
ON CUBA'S future
Dr.. Antonio Sanchez de Bus
tamente Wants Nation to
Solve Own Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press
| HAVANA, December 31.-Dr Anto-
Mo Sanchez de Bustamente, distin-
guished authority on international law
and member of the Permanent Court
of International Justice, is optimistic
about the satisfactory solution of Cuba s
economic end political problems.
Eyes, I believe Germany will join in
the Chadbourne plan for the limitation
of sugar." the venerable juriSt told the
Associated Press correspondent. And
If she doesn't, we shall find way out
OF our difficulties.
Sugar is only one of our resources
This fertile island can and will grow
almost any crop. Our agricultural pos
eral wealth that is untouched and our
forests offer a rich field for develop
ment."
In discussing the political troubles
which Cuba is undergoing, DR.. Busta-
mente said: IT am not engaged in poll
tics, but ] can assure you Cuba will
settle this satisfactorily. We have faced
trials before and met them bravely.
Relies on Youth.
THE fact that unrest and economic
disaster are world wide persuades me
the adjustment will be much speedier
than it would be if only few nations
were adversely affected"
DR.. Bustamente relies particularly
upon Cuba's youth and recuperative
powers to bring it through the present
crisis.
Remember. we are only 80 years

point in our favor. At 80 a man can
IL rr,la4 = -
Cuba is not an old European nation.
1t is a vigorous republic with young
neighbors. 1t is not burdened by his
tory and tradition. And then, it is an
island; that is factor of great impor-
lance
Cuba is destined to become to North
and South America what England is to
Europe and what Japan is to Asia.
Island nations are specially favored.
An island with abundant ports, with
varied resources and surrounded by
friendly neighbors who can be reached
by cheap transportation is particularly
blessed
Greatest U. S. Friend.
DR.. Bustamente feels Cuba should
solve its problems in Cuban way and
without any outside assistance
Cuba is and always will be the
greatest friend the United States has
among nations" he said. I'VE Cubans
as people love and venerate the
United States That fact should al
ways be borne in mind by Americans,
regardless of any differences which
may arise among individuals or officials
of the two nations.
I'VE believe Americans love us. They
demonstrated their attachment in ways
we shall never forget. We owe our ex-
istence as a nation to our northern
friend, and I am confident that passing
years will strengthen the ties between
the two Republics"
DR. Bustamente paid high tribute to
Elihu Root. MY association with Mr.
Root is among my most treasured mem
ories," he said. He is a great friend
Of Cuba and proved it in trying times"
II like to think of MIR Root and DR..
James Brown Scott as typical Ameri-
cans. I have known them and worked
with them for so many years in inter-
national negotiations that have found
they are the friends not only of Cuba
put of all the world"

GUz|K SENTENCE
HELD S|GN|F| CANT
Some Commentators Hold
Backbone of Capone'S Gang
Has Been Broken.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 31.-The mo-
rale of gang leadership in Chicago suf-
fered a severe shock in the sentencing
of Jack Guzik, public enemy" to five
years in Federal penitentiary on an
income tax evasion charge, officials
said today.
Some commentators went so far as
to say that the backbone of Alphonse
Capone's gang had been broken by the
sentence administered yesterday by
Federal Judge Charles E. Woodward
Guzik, sometimes referred to as the
watchdog of Capone's treasury" was
also fined $l7,500.
THE sentence of Guzik," United
States District Attorney George E. @.
johnson said, should certainly help the
fight on Chicago gangs for two reasons:
1t breaks the morale of gang leader
ship. 1t destroys the faith of the gang
sters in those who boast they can pro-
tect or fix the cases of those who seem
to have enjoyed immunity for years.
IF the fight is waged as relentlessly
in the future the gangsters will leave
Chicago. Judge Woodward has struck
blow that will have far-reaching
effect"
Judge Woodward allowed a writ for
an appeal. In passing sentence he said:
THE court must take into cons.dera-
ton the example which punishment in
one case will have on others and thus
insure voluntary obedience to the rev.
enue laws"

OFFICIAL SNUBBED,
CUBA CLOSES CLUB
Old Social Organization in
Havana Is PadIoCked
by Government.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 81 (N.ANA)
.Padlocking of the Havana Yacht Club
by the Cuban government, as announced
in Havana press dispatches, is the re-
suit of snub to cabinet member at a
club entertainment month ago.
The day following the shooting of sew
eral persons in an anti-government pa
rade Carlos Miguel de Cespedes, secre-
tary of public works, attempted to greet
at the club an old acquaintance, Col.
Ignacio Almagro, former judge and vet
eran of the War of Independence
Col. Almagro, who is almost 10, put
his hand behind his back and said he
would have no dealings with a member
of a government that made him war on
women and children.
Son Took Up Quarrel.
In the lounge a little later CespedeS
said Almagro could insult him with i'm
punity because of his age. Almagro's
son took up his fathers quarrel and
knocked Cespedes down.
A duel was arranged and CeSpedes re-
ceived a trif1ing saber cut. His personal
prestige and popularity were if anything
enhanced by his having kept the quarrel
on purely personal bass.
PRESIDENT Macnado, however, was not
disposed to overlook the matter, and,
sending for Manuel Aspuru, president of
the club, he instructed Aspuru either to
expel the Almagros or strike Machado's
name from the membership roll.
At a meeting of the board of govern
ors of the Yacht Club it was decided
there was no reason that warranted the
expulsion of the AlmagroS. President
Machado was respectfully requested to
retire his ultimatum, but if he persisted
in Offering his resignation, he was in
formed, 1t would be accepted with regret
To Make AlmagrOs President.
The president of the club warned the
board of the seriousness of it's decision
and threatened to offer his own resigna-
ton rather than endanger his standing
with the government. He was politely
told to go ahead, and the board planned
to elect Almagro in his place
The Havana Yacht Club is the largest
and most exclusive purely social organi-
cation in Cuba, with 1000 members and
a waiting list exceeding 1000. Its sole
surviving charter member is Joseph
Springer, American vice consul in Ha-
vana and the dean of the entire con-
Sular service of the United States.
