A troop of mounted rural

CARELESS of costs or losses"
White Terror.
Machado who has ruled with blood
and terror since 1925, with the sup
port of American imperialism, has
been shaken by the growing crisis
which has produced, in the fight
between American beet sugar in
terests and those investing in Cuban
cane sugar, a conflict within Amer
lean imperialism itself, which the
"Nationalist" bourgeois opposition
has been capitalizing to get into
power in Machado's place.
To discredit Machado, these bour-
geois "Nationalists" have pretended
to be friends of the workers" and
have used Machado's savage but
cherries of Communists and other
workers as capital for themselves,
their agent in the United States,
Octavio Siegle, getting both the
farm bloc" beet sugar interests and
the fascist A. F. of L. to spread
their propaganda. But far from OPP
posing American Imperialism, the
Nationalist" demand U. S. inter
vention under the Infamous "Platt
Amendment" under which the U. S.
has the right to intervene "to en-
sure democratic government" etc.
The U. S. Minister to Cuba, Gug
genheim, who is really the boss, has
informed Hoover of the revolution
airy ferment among the masses of
Cuba who are turning to the Com
munist Party of Cuba.
Undoubtedly American imperial
ism is making preparations to
opacity" the masses by bringing up
the "Nationalists" to supplant Ma
chado when the masses reach the
point of revolutionary outbreaks.
This makes the "Nationalists" the
worst foes of real independence and
the genuine interests of the toiling
masses of Cuba, hundreds of thou
sands of whom are really starving,
even when they have work, due to
the miserably low wages and high
costs.

In improving the regime existing in the

borne fruit by the institution of the in

I'VE had, for instance. occasion to ex-
press our point of view to the French
Government upon certain details of the
working of the Quebec Liquor Commits
sion, and, quite recently, we organized
campaign in British Columbia for the
adoption of certain measures favorable to
the sale of our products.
1.-THE French Wines Expectation Com
mission was able to note last year al
ready that its publicity campaign in the
great newspapers edited in the English

had given rise in the American press to
very numerous commentaries highly fa
vorable to its cause and given a greater
impulse to the -prohibitioniSts litera

Accordingly, there, also, it was consid-

with which it works in perfect harmony"
PROOF NOT PARTICULARLY NEW
I have taken this from an article in the
CongregdtionaIiSt, printed September 10,
1929. In that article the Rev. Alfred E.
Cooke, of the Boulevard Church. Denver,
Colorado, states that he quotes directly
from a press dispatch for the first part
of this evidence and that he has before
him the copy of the trade journal from
which he makes the long quotation.
In the same way we have no proof of
the enormous funds raised by the brewers
and distillers and the scandalous ways in
which the funds were spent in the fight
from 1910 till 1919, till the suspicion that
the brewers were pro-Gernan and the in
tense feeling of the war brought the in
vestigation that uncovered both the
methods of raising and the methods Of
spending the huge funds
The statements given above are clear
and explicit and very indiscreet. 1t was
not to be expected that such indiscretion
should ever be repeated We are now in
campaign which is outWardly exactly
like the campaign against the adoption
of prohibition. Lady Astors description
of the campaign in England gives us
similar picture. If names and words
mean anything, there is a worldwide
campaign on to carry elections in Canada,
to smash Finland, to head off local option
in England, but, above all, for that is
question of life and death, to break down
prohibition in the United States.

One Of the most interesting sessions OF
the National Anti-Saloon League Conven-

Luncheon held on January 16, the ami
versary of the going into effect of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
At the luncheon sat number of man
ufacturers, bankers, merchants and others
from many states, and most Of these gave
one minute statements on "Why industry
and business support President Hoover"
while more than score of others sent
greetings by letter The following letter
was received and read at the luncheon
from Thomas A. Edison:
"All good citizens will stand by the
wise program of our great President. This
reform must go on to worldwide success.
From an economic standpoint, benefits
from better enforced prohibition law
would be of inestimable value to the peo-
pie at large, not mentioning physical and
moral results"

Patrick H. Callahan, paint and varnish

that has taken place, Louisville has gained
as much in bank deposits building and
loan savings and other criteria of pros

as it had in the previous rs years.

Mr. Callahan urged the Importance of
