Meets Tonight

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. %.
Ten battleships of the At
lantic fleet closed in today to-
ward the city of Havana as
the recently established Grau
San Martin government is beginning
10 totter under the impact of the
workers and peasants rising in mass
strikes.
The American battleships are
cleared for instant action. They are
now fully within gun-fire distance OF
the. heart of the city.
They carry machine guns, airplane
bombs, and poison gas tanks. Regi-
mentS of troops and marines are
drawn up in battle formation, ready
for instant landing if the upsurge Of
the Cuban workers and peasants
threatens to oyerwhelm the present
Cuban government, with the setting
up of revolutionary government
openly hostile to the imperialist rule
Of Wall Street.
The capital city is facing a food
shortage as the warehouse workers
and other groups continue their
strikes against the Grau government.
This government is already receiving
the favorable notice of the United
States as it becomes clearer that
Grau San. Martin fully intends to
protect the Wall Street investments
in Cuba.
Secretary Of State Hull has seized
upon reports of an alleged looting of
an Americans home by Cuban work
ers. No details are given. But Hull
has intimated that he will demand
an Investigation" by the American
Embassy. At the same time, he has
given orders for more vigilance
among the fleet vessels lying close to
the City of Havana.
In the interior of the island rebel
bands of reactionarY officers are or
ganizing for attacks on the Grau
government which they find too slow
in it's action against the Cuban
masses.
