FREEDOM OF CUBA !.
VOUCHED BY ENVOY.
Ambassador Ferrara Seeks
to Correct Impression
of Dependence.

Painful impressions" felt in Cuba
over a superstition in other countries
that Cuba is not fully independent be-
cause of her agreements with the
United States were described to the
District League of Republican Women
yesterday by the Cuban Ambassador.
DR.. Orestes Ferrara.
"Cuba is sovereign state" the AM
bassador said. Her international as
sociations are many and varied. She
has taken her place with dignity and
honor among other nations. She has
contracted many pactS with other coun-
tries without the help Of any other ma
ton"
Describing Cuba's part in world con-
ferences, with q reference to the fact
that she was a member Of the League
Of Nations, DR.. Ferrara continued:
"As a consequence we can state that
every act of the Cuban government IN
the international field indicates that
Cuba has no limitation to her SOW
ereignty.
Under these conditions you can
easily imagine what painful impress
sions the Cuban people receive when
in the daily press and learned maya
zines Of North and South America and
Europe they read that, due to the Plat
amendment, Cuba Is not a country OF
full independence.
DR.. Ferrara said that "as matter
of fact Cuba has never had any trouble
In connection with the Platt amend.
ment. The Government of the United
States has always respected the SOW
ereignty Of Cuba.
when the Cuban government re-
uuested American intervention in 1906
the American Government constantly
refused and, at the last moment, was
moved to intervene only when the pub
lie power was left vacant"
Notwithstanding this added DR.. Fer
rara, "the Cuban people have even more
painful impressions when some respon-
sible elements in the world try to act in
a way which constitutes disregard toT
Cuban independence"
The Platt amendment, briefly, was
that Cuba was not to enter into q
treaty with foreign power which might
| tend to impair its independence OF

HARD TIMES RUSH
COMMUNITY CHEST
,504 Given Aid in February,
as Compared With 1918
Last Year.

Increased work of the Associated
Charities and the additional aid given
by it, due to unemployment, was pic
tured at meeting Of the board Of man
ayers of the organization at headquar-
tiers, 1922 Eleventh street, yesterday aft
ernoon.
Miss Helen p. Story, reporting for
three districts in the eastern section,
under her supervision, said applications
for aid due to lack of work during this
Winter represented an increase of 80
per cent over the number of applica-
lions for the same period last year.
Fifty per cent of the total number of
applications received were from families
affected by unemployment, she said.
Summarized reports for February for
the eight districts disclosed that 1904
families were under care, as against
1918 year ago, an increase OF 286
families, or % per cent. Expenditures
for relief during January and February
totaled 33,125, as against SOS, 224 for
the frst. two months of last year, an
increase Of 81 per cent.
Reports from the second and sew
enth districts, which serve only colored
families, showed that conditions were
the most critical. Fewer opportunities

for domestic service than in other years
have greatly increased the burden of
relief, said Mrs. Ethel G. Williams re-
porting for the second district and Mrs.
Mary Ellen Whitlock reporting for the
seventh district. In the Southwest Sec
ton, where Miss Rosa Brown Is the
visitor In charge, in February alone 277
families were served, as against 1914
families in February of 1880, an in
crease of SO, or 43 per cent, it was
stated. The same situation was dis
closed in reports by Miss Elizabeth
Northcutt for the central district and
by Miss Louise o. Beall.
The board adopted resolution Of ap-
probation of the work done by the
Junior League in finding jobs for the
| unemployed and also in paying for
! needed repairs at the Social Service
House. Acknowledgement was made of
the help rendered by the District of Co
lumbia Committee on Employment, of
which Frederic A. Delano is chairman,
in furnishing opportunities for unskilled
workers to unload barges of wood
brought from Quantico for families in
need.

CECIL COUNTY WELFARE

service to the County, and finds itself
facing a period of depression such as
has not been known for years.
Since the first of the year, about
forty families have been given relief
in one way or another, to tide them
over difficult times, and no doubt
there are many more who are suffer-
ing. Twenty-three children in foster
homes are also being cared for.
Early in April we put on a drive
for funds to carry on the work this
year. So far we have received
more individual contributions than
ever before, and most parts of the
county have been heard from, but
we need at least four times as much,
in addition to our appropriation from
the County taxes, to carry on the
work.
We cannot begin to meet the neeo
unless we have more support and
that very promptly. Some districts
where the drive was slow getting
started have not been heard from
