on the Gen Wood tradition through his
four years as the first President, only to
surrender to the older tradition when 1t
came time for election. He watched this
older tradition Of corruption and dis
honesty slowly gain the upper hand
through the administrations of later
presidents, until 1t got completely out of
control under Zayas. He saw the cost
of government in Cuba rise from SO per
capita to $45. He saw illiteracy on the
increase while the cost of the school
mounted gayly. He saw the public debt
steadily mounting, adding new burdens
of taxation to the country, although no
corresponding constructive work went
forward. He saw the national lottery
and all public contracts MIXED for
enormous sums. Population of the first
magnitude seemed only to whet the
appetites of the politicians.
And they we're careful to avoid po-
litical indigestion. Their favorite meas
ure was the amnesty bill This not
only enabled them to grant amnesty
for all their own crimes and those of
their friends, but to charge an appreci-
able sum for including those of out
siders. Thus, once in so often the
slate was wiped clean, all criminal acts
were charged off and the merry round
could begin again.

met in February, he appointed for the
first time in the republics history a
high commissioner of tourism. Pri-
marily this was recognition of the fact
that France annually profits through
tourists expenditureS-what econom-
lists term invisible imports" to a vast
sum well surprising $500, 900 900. Amer
lean tourists alone spend $225, 900
in France yearly. Last year tourist ex-
penditures In France fell of sharply.
High taxes much Increased the cost OF
living in France and Senseless red tape
obstacles to travellers caused this and
awakened authorities to the impor-
lance of Frances goose which lays the
golden egg-tourist trade
Since the appointment of a tourist
commissioner Parliament has eradicat-
ed expensive landing and embarkation
taxes at the French ports-an act
which saves Americans from 81 to 81
each way. Likewise the government
reduced taxes on luxury goods which
were the chief item Of tourist purchases
from 10 and IL to per cent, and hotel
taxes were similarly slaShed.
The new department has also stabil-
lied hotel prices in all parts Of FRANCE
and is providing the most up-to-date
tourist travel information yet available
in the country. In word, France at
last has turned toward making tour
lists satisfied customers. There will be
less trouble, less expense and greater
facilities for visitors to France. It may
require several years for this worthy
transition to be completed, but The i'm
portant thing to the American tourist
of 1880 is that 1t is already well on the
way. Even the little French shop
keepers may some day learn that it pays
to have a customers good will.

OF view the extension Of the British
preference and the very definite IN
crease in the British free list means
a great deal more.
The government frankly admits that
the budget aims to switch trade as
far as possible to the mother country,
to build up a sentiment in Britain
that will aid in marketing Canaoa
wheat. And with the imperial con-
ference coming on in September, IL
plans to use the favors ALREADY granteo
Britain as a lever to get imperial faVors
in return.
New Tariff in Force.
And while the United States tariff
that has caused the most radical oud-
get in IS wears still is being debated,
the new Canadian tariff is already IN
force. At $40 pm. one day recently
the minister of finance rose to speak
and at once, according to Canadian
custom, the changes in the tariff out
lined became effective.
They are still being debated. But
there Is no business uncertainty. The
debate Is a matter Of election propa-
ganda. Canadian business knew the
decree was both final and effective
the moment they were uttered.
With the fiscal policy the main issue
1t already Is predicted that the cleo
ton will give rise to the greatest show
of flag flourishing Canada has known
in years.
The Conservative answer to the gov
ernment's drastic British preference in
creases is the slogan, Canada First
It seems as If conditions will be re-
versed in the contest. The Conserva-
tives always have been the ultra-im-
perial party. Premier King has been
attacked for being too Canadian; he
has even been aSsailed as a separatist
He has taken the lead In the consti-
tutional changes that have led to the
complete recognition Of Canada as ar
autonomous nation.
Liberals Wave Union Jack.
Now, however, the Liberals, under
Premier King, are entering the conflict
waving the Union Jack and crying fol
closer trade ties with the motherland
while the Conservatives already are
complaining of the danger of British
competition and demanding that irI
trade, above everything else, Canada
should come first.
1t Is affording some amusement tc
those who remember the hue raised BY
Conservatives few years ago when II
was proposed to create a distinctive

Gerardo Machado, as President Of the
republic he helped to bring into exist
ence, retains the characteristics which
marked him then. A leader of men. an
indefatigable worker, suspicious beyond
all need-and formidable dancer-he
is today.
In the intervening years he has
watched his republic gain its feet and
go through many of the trials and
vicissitudes of infancy. He himself has
matured in experience and wisdom. and
in the process, as one of the few Cuban
leaders of industry, has accumulated
a moderate fortune. He has always
taken O keen interest in politics and on
at least two occasions has supported
rebellion against the government.
Politics in Cuba is not petty thing,
The form is a democratic republic
modelled after the United States; but
the spirit which animates it is that of
the old Spanish colonial tradition-in
which government was the instrument
tally of those who controlled 1t to ex-
tract wealth from those 1t controlled.
We have our official corruption In this
country, but here it is a parasite on
a fairly healthy body polite. In Cuba,
through much OF its brief history, 1t has
been an overwhelming incubus which all
but crushed the better aspirations OF the
people.
Machado watched the trail Of Cuban
politics. He saw Estrada Palma carry

PRESIDENTIAL PALACE.

was the attempt Of the President to
secure his own reelection. They
strongly urged a constitutional amend
ment to limit the President to one
term, at the same time extending that
term to six years. In this way it was
hoped to incline the presidential heart
toward making good record while he
was in office instead of toward insuring
his return to power.
In 1924 Machado became the Liberal
candidate for President. He was hailed
as an able and honest man who, while
he might not be able to eliminate the
rapacity of the politicians completely,
would at least not encourage them.
And his pledge not to seek reelection
appeared to equip him with the moral
power to hold the corruptionists in
check.
How he did pledge himself! "A
Liberal President cannot be reelected
This is now noble tradition-the most
noble of this party" When hand
over the power to my successor after
four years In office, no power on earth
will keep me in it one single day
longer" "a man who has never failed
to keep his word, man whose lips
have never been defiled by lie, would
lower his dignity and dishonor himself,

balmy Cuban night. It came
from long, low building where
an orchestra measured the time for In
Vulnerable dancers. Most of the men
were in uniform. Prayed and torn
those uniforms might be, but still they
were uniforms. Cuba was fighting for
her independence and the nearby camp
afforded no skillful tailors to keep the
officers spick and span. They were
of a lull in the military operations to
indulge in the pleasures of the dance.
What a formidable dancer!" ex-
claimed one of the senoritas, follow
ing a large and perhaps the best
dressed figure on the floor as he swung
his partner through the mazes Of the
dance.
'That is Machado," was the reply.
HE Is the chief"
And far into the morning hours
Machado trod every measure, grace
fully, overwhelmingly.
The camp was aStir at 5 in the
morning, and among the first to ap-
pear was Machado, carrying on with
out a suggestion of fatigue, seeing
everything. hearing everything, know
ing everything and using everything.
Suspicious, they said he was. And we'll
he might be. His father before him
had been a rebel against Spain, and
so fearful had he been of betrayal that
he never slept twice in the same place.
Small wonder that young Gerardo was
overcautious.
Devoted to His Cuba.
Grown to mans estate, he was still
wary; but he was a born leader, de-
voted to his Cuba, and his men trusted
him and followed him as far as they
could. Few could keep up with him
long. He seemed endowed with super
human strength and endurance. No
amount of work tired him, and when his
aides were exhausted he sought recrea-
ton in the dance.
All this was some IS years ago. But

~ Assistance, at least official
France, is in the process Of try
ing to learn what might be
i called a comparatively modern
gospel. 1t Is the gospel Of the
satisfied customer the client who comes
back. In this case the person in ques-
ton is not precisely a customer-he Is
the tourist and particularly the Ameri-
can tourist.
After what has seemed to some
almost too long a period OF blindness
to actualities, the French government
In the past few months has discovered
the tourist as a national aSSet-not
merely a casual asset, but one OF ire
mendously far-reaching potentialities
At last the powers that be in councils
of state have recognized the tourist in
France as both a material and psyche
logical blessing. Since this recognition
Is based on the hoary maxim that any
mans good will Is worth more than
his Ill WILL 1t would seem they might
have discovered it sooner. But the
Frenchman's ideas-as we'll as those OF
all governments, perhaps-have always
been slow to change.
The important thing from the Ameri-
can viewpoint, taking into account the
thousands upon thousands OF American
tourists who annually visit France, Is
that the French government has be-
come tourist conscious, and Is sin
cerely rying to make matters easier
for strangers within French gates. 1t
must be admitted by Americans who
have lived in France for any length
Of time that since the war much mas
been neglected which might make the
tourist feel at home. This has not nap
pened maliciouSly, as some have been
inclined to interpret 1t. Rather It mas
been the result of a certain induDtaple
defect in the French habits OF Thought.
The average Frenchn1an in business
rs in pleasure, lives for today. In
sharp contrast to American precepS
of business relationships, 1t Is constl-
tutionally difficult for a Frenchman 70
sell shoes, shirts or cigarettes with Ine
day after tomorrow in his MIND. Inc
theory of satisfied customers, OF long
term business good will, Is learned oy
most Frenchmen only gradually ano
through experience. He does not nave
1t thrust upon him when ne taxes MS
first job as we do in America.
That is one reason why 1t Is dlfncult
for Americans to understand the french.
Especially, it explains why american
tourists always find it dincult TO unoer-
stand the French, and why many OF
them returned home the past decaoe
convinced they were imposed upon;
Sometimes this happened on account OF
the avarice of certain Frenchmen' DuC
perhaps more often the impression was
solidified by the fatal error of many
travellers in trying to apply the Amerl-
can slide rule of conduct and ideas 70
