What would MeSsrs Hawley and
SmoOt suggest in the event that Cuba
should default on bonds held by Ameri-
can citizens, who may, and in all prob
ability will, point out that they had
bought those bonds only and solely
because they had relied upon the provi-
sions Of the Plat amendment, accord
Ing to which the United States has a
certain moral, If not perhaps legal. re-
sponsibility as regards the maintenance
by Cuba of tn service on her contractual
obligations?
In conclusion it may be of interest to
present the Interpretation Of the Plat
amendment as furnished by Elihu Root,
who points out that:
THE intervention envisaged under
the Platt amendment Is not synonymous
with intermeddling or interference with
the affairs Of the Cuban government,
but the formal action of the Govern
ment Of the United States. based upon
just and substantial grounds, for the
preservation of Cuban independence and
the maintenance of a government ade-
quate for the protection Of life, property
and individual liberty, and adequate for
discharging the obligations with respect
to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris
on the United States"

The United Kingdom Is the worlds
largest importer of gasoline This
country ranks second, Its receipts from
foreign sources having risen yearly since
1928 with an advance of 81 per cent

RAIL UNIONS TO GET
SECRET PROPOSAL
Nature of Plan Believed to Be
on Division of Existing Jobs
Among Workers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December "a proposal,
propounded in secret by railway labor
chiefs, was ready for presentation today
to chairman of each Of the five affected
unions.
D. B. Robertson, chairman OF the
Railway Labor Executives Association,
refused to disclose the exact nature of
the proposal, but other representatives
intinated that it concerned mostly tn
ternal problems affecting more equita-
BILE division of existing jobs amcng the
workers.
After the separate meetings Of chair
men representing the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers,
the Order of Railway Conductors, the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and
the Switchmens Union Of North Amer
tca, another joint session will be held
at which action will be taken by the
group as a whole.
The most important of the sessions
will be held tomorrow, when 1,500
chairmen, representing all the branches
OF the unions, will consider the plea OF
railway managements tor a general 10
per cent wage cut.
Union officials said the proposal ready
for consideration today concerned a
six-hour day in the place of the present
eight-hour schedule. This, it was be-
heved, would create jobs for $4,000
members of the union who have been
laid off because of the reduced traffic
of the railroads.
