All this makes fuel for agitation by
the candidates for the presidency at
the next national election and their
factions. They do not want to wait
until 1884 for power, preferring to
plunge the country into Q presidential
campaign at once, holding that the
present is an unconstitutional de facto
government. Among these is former
President Menocal, who has returned
from exile to receive the ovation Of his
adherents and start his campaign. It
Is alleged that he has lost his fortune
and would like to make another; that
he is Of the old school Of prof1teering
politicians who would bring no i'm
provement on the Machadist regime.

Cespedes, and the power that put Ma

made 1t a high crime for any civilian
to have arms In his possession, the
A. B. C.s got arms, their chemists made
bombs.
Many A. B. C.'s were killed and many
tortured. They picked their men for
murder no less than Machado picked
his; they met terror with terror. They
had their expert killers and bombers;
they had their left wing and right wing

on the one purpose Of worsting their
enemy by the use of his methods. They
had the advantage Of more brains and

CUBA MAY BECOME
:. FASCIST COUNTRY
Revolution Far From Over as
Cespedes Fills Gap Be-
tween Regimes.
BY COL. FREDERIC PALMER.

HAVANA, August 24.-If the A. B. C.s
prevail, the upshot may be that Cuba
will be the first nation Of the Western
Hemisphere to turn Fascist. Certainly
her troubles are far from being over.
The patient has only been delivered
from Jail, torture and exploitation,
which left her pockets empty and her
back lacerated under her torn shirt.
After the mighty effort by which she
broke her bonds she Is now tremulous
on the operating table. All the schools
of surgery agree that a vital major
operation is necessary. But they are
quarreling over which school shall per-
form it and which shall prescribe the
regime to insure peaceful and sound
convalescence.
The elements which joined to put
Machado out, or stood by awaiting the
glad day of his downfall, are forming
groups to enforce their various doc
trines and to gain political and personal
power in what promises to be battle
royal
All elements agree the United States
should act as the grand almoner. Uncle
Sam should stand for the hospital ex-
penses and stake the patient with
enough funds and tariff concessions to
put her back on her feet so she shall
be able to earn her own living again.
Otherwise chaos for Cuba will be the
result and then another period Of
American intervention under the Platt
amendment Certain of these elements
are perfectly sure of this. because they
know as expert old hands how to pro-
duce the chaos.
Some elements also favor calling in
Uncle Sam as consulting surgeon and
accepting his advice as the only way to
hasten recovery. This is the attitude of
President Cespedes, who would ask the
United States to send commission of
financial and economic experts to Cuba
to analyZe the situation and work out a
plan Of reconstruction.
Financial Aid Needed.
That commission may be composed
Of the wisest men in their lines In the
world. but 1t is doubtful If they can
succeed II they are without authority
to draft some financial aid from the
United States to enable the new gov
eminent to carry out its mission. Pres
ident Cespedes fully realizes his part.
As he told the writer, 1t was that Of
Q bridge between Machado and his sue
cessor In the national elections Of 1884.
Evening star., 1933-08-24

Not a politician, and with no home
political ambition, this former Ambas-
sador to Washington and abroad vas
chosen because he gained Q high repu-
tation for integrity, with disassociation
from Machsdo practices. II his gov
eminent receives no material aid from
Uncle Sam, the factions Will unite
against him as being q tool Of the
United States without having got any
thing for Cuba from the United States.
and American popularity. which ushered
In his regime, will revert to unpopu-
larity.
The financial situation in which
Machado left Cuba resembles that Of
the United States when President
Roosevelt declared the bank holiday.
At last accounts Machado left two or
three million dollars in the treasury.
For weeks taxes have not been col
lected. People object to further col
lections of Machado's exorbitant taxes,
from which they supposed his expulsion
would liberate them.
Government bills are unpaid. Strik-
ing government employees returned to
work under CespedeS on a promise to
pay, when their wages are from 5 to
IL months in arrears. MachadO kept
on paying the interest on the Cuban
external loans with the aid Of Ameri-
can bankers, although the bankers won

talk Of the elder politicians. They de-
clared themselves realists who had met
realities with realities. All denied their
organization was in any sense Fascist
or feminist. After q time 1t became
usual to hear lawyer who was grad
uate OF the best schools and stood high
at the bar, an engineer educated In the
United States, q college professor or a
young business man who had q good
property, say In excellent English:
Eye for Eye, Policy.
'Yes, We made 1t eye for eye and
tooth for tooth against Machado We
bombed and we killed and we are re-
sponSible for our bombing and killings,
which was the only way to make new
Cuba"
Their plan Is that intelligence shall
rule In future through them, and they
believe they have the brains and force
to do It. The way they came into power
was more like that Of Lenin and
Trotsky than Mussolini or Hitler.
Every day could be seen another stage
of the progress, In the evolution of
events, IN their ambition for the die
tatorship of Cuba. As yet, their coun-
sels have q directors meeting cast.
They have no Mussolini, Lenin or Hit
Ter, but they may find one. F. Mar

and now secretary Of the treasury at

present.
The A. B. C.s are already beginning to
chafe under the delay Of following con-
stitutional forms In holding the ma
tional elections in 1884 and postponing
the call for constitutional assembly.
They want immediate action in q gov
ernment Of their own and the framing
of q new copstitution In which intelli-
gence shall rule. They have the prob
lem Of reconciling their right wing,
which might be called Fascist, and their
left wing, which might be called Com
munist. But If they get strong leader
he might do that, as Stain did In
Russia.
In land where Negroes, or those Of
q large admixture Of Negro blood, form
the majority, few members Of the A B C
have Negro blood. Against any general
uprising there Is the army. Its young
officers are A. B. C's under cover and
the elders may be forced to yield their
pressure. Most of the hundred thou
sand A. B. C.'s have arms, while other
CubanS are unarmed.
The more the A. 3. C.s felt their
power the more they were convinced
that 1t Is government Of their dictator

Meanwhile, American policy would

STEWART RESIDENT
 DROWNED IN BEAR R.

Rede Staich, Stewart resi- dent, employed by the United Empire Mining Company, lost his life in the chilly waters of Bear river at 10:30 Thursday morning as result of the acci- dental overturning of a row boat in which he was crossing the river in company with Irv- ing Spencer, of Stewart. The accident occurred about three miles north of Stewart.
 Reports of the fatality dis close that the two men, who were engaged in putting up the new United Empire power line, were pulling the boat across the river by means of a hand line when the craft was sud- denly overturned by the rush. ing current. Both men were thrown into the water near the center of the stream and car ried swiftly away from the boat. Spencer, who is of strong physique, managed to reach the shore after a severe struggle in the icy water but Staich appears to have sank immediately.
 Efforts of Constable c. Pot 'terton and others to locate the body Friday were fruitless.
 The unfortunate Staich was aged about 30 years and was a native of Serbia. He had re- sided in Canada about 5 years and became resident of Stew art about ? 1-2 years ago. He is survived by relatives who reside in Jugo-Slavia.

 Dollar Devaluation

AID ASKED FOR
 ALASKA MINING

Assistance for the mining industry in Alaska is asked of the federal government in a petition and brief prepared by the Alaska Territorial Cham Der of Commerce and endorsed by associated Chambers of Commerce in Alaskan cities.
 The petition, briefly sum- marked, requests the federal government to establish and maintain in the Territory center of information, with an engineer in charge, who can give advice to mine owners and operators, and to prospectors, relative to their mining prob lems, and supply the public, the Alaska Legislature, the governor and other officials, with authentic information concerning all mines and pros poets.
 Pointing out the advisability of the federal government talk ing an active part in stimula- ting the Alaska mining indus try, the petition expresse the view that this can best be done by extending technical service to small mine owners and pros- pectors who are unable to en1- ploy professional engineers, and by collecting authentic in- formation of mining properties capital for their de- velopment, and by filing or publishing it in such form as to available for interested invest. ors.
 Such a service, the petition says, would help to prevent wasted effort, discourage fraudulent or extravagant rep resentations on the part of un- scrupulous promoters and the sale of worthless stock, and be a large factor in guiding cap- ital to meritorious mine devel- opments.
 The cost of the project in es- 5imated at S18,OOO per annum of which S5,000 would be pro- vided by the cooperative fund appropriated by the last Alas ka Legislature.

BIG MOVEMENT FOR
 SILVER IS LAUNCHED

A large gathering of silver opponents and stabilization ad- vocates in Washington on Fri day promises to develop the greatest concerted effort to- bring about silver remonetiz- ation and monetary stabiliz- ation that has so far devel- oped. Acording to brief rad 10 reports this week, opponents of bimetallism and currency stabilization from all parts of the country were expected to attend the meeting, of which Senator Thomas was one of the leading sponsors. Details of the meeting are looked for ward to with intense interest here and will be presented in these columns when received.
 Late reports from the south indicate beyond doubt that in- terest in the possibilities of sii- yer as a means of overcoming present conditions is steadily increasing and public attention is concentrating more and more in that direction.
 Among late items of interest bearing on silver is the report that New York financial and business leaders regard ,su- ance of one-fifth of the nati ,'.'s currency on a silver base of three to four billion ounces of silver as a possible imitation move of the next congress. There is also a general belief that, if congress attempts any from of outright currency in- flation, there is a good chance that silver will be used with gold as a backing for our cur rency as a compromise.
 Even those opposed to bimet- allism and restoration of silver as money admit that it would be better to base currency in- flation on silver than on out right paper issue.
 Senator Putnam, in a recent statement said there was not shadow of doubt in his mind that the next session of con- gress would pass bill author izing the free coinage of silver.
 Senator Clarence Dill, of Washington, advocating gov ernment purchase of silver On the same basis as gold, said Ii the President would direct the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration to purchase $200,- O00,000 worth of silver, the price would rise automatically under the force of supply and demand.
 Such a purchase would re- move surplus silver from the markets of the world and double the price everywhere" he said.

Emergency Work Camp
 Closed Despite Protests

l DeSplte urgent last minute
 efforts 'o1 the Chamber of
 Commerce and various citizens to secure a rescindment of the recent order closing the local ECW work camp, at which some 20 men were employed, the camp was closed down Wednesday, although a major
 ority of the workers will be continued on the payroll until the end of the present month and were offered an opportun- ity to join the ECW forces in Ketchikan as an alternative to remaining here.
 Coming a few hours after telegraphic assurances from the Governors office that the camp would be continued as long as weather conditions would permit had been re- ceived by the Chamber of Com merce, the order of the Forest department officials closing the camp came as a surprise and is surmised to have been d u e to some unexplained change in the attitude of the forest officials following their conference with acting govern or E. W. Griffin.
 The acting governors mess age to the Chamber stated that he had consulted the heads of the Forest department and Bu- reau of Public Roads on con- tinuing work at the Hyder camp and outlined the results as follows:
 "They will do So as long as weather permits but claim that owing to deep snows it will be impossible to carry on much longer. Therefore, they will have to move the unemploy- ment camp to Ketchikan, where the men now working can continue to work. Salmon river project will be started early next spring."
 The message also submitted a number of queries regarding the local unemployment situ- aion and concluded with the statement that "We want to do everything possible to alleviate the situation"
 The reference to the Salmon river project" was in reply to a Chamber of Commerce sug- gestion that the camp crew might be employed during the winter in extending and re- pairing the flood protection ty near the graveyard, com monly known as the "rock jet 'ty," and had no reference to the federal flood protection project, now before the Public Works administration at Wash. ington. The statement, how ever, indicates a possible in~ tention to reopen the work pann nnxt summer

Hog Tax Threatens
 Alaska Fishing Industry

 be placed on all fish and fish
 products for the benefit of hog
 producers, according to re-
 ports from Delegate Dimond's office this week.
 Alarmed by the threat which
 this processing tax implies to the entire fishing industry owners and fishermen have
 launched a barrage of protests and to their voices has been aded that of Delegate Dimond. He sees in the proposed pro- gram a distinct peril to the operations of the Territorial government and the possibility of crippling what is Alaska's most important industry.
 Hog producers, it seems, have fared badly during these depressionyears and theirwoes have been added to by the fact that large surplus hangs over the market that doesn't exist. The theory that lies back of the processing tax is that if other commodities are taxed. money will thus be secured which can be paid to the raj sers of porkers for holding down production. The com- modities to which the tax is ap- piled will have to add it totheir selling price and pork, tax free, will thus be more in demand. In passing, it may be said that only those engaged in raising hogs appear to have given the plan their whole-hearted SUD- port.
 A hearing took place a few days ago and Delegate Dimond explained what imposition of the processing tax would do to the people of Alaska. A top tax of S2 40 mipht be placed on a case of salmon under the plan. The fisheries industry hasn't been notably more pros porous recently than the hog in duGtry and how it would enter the competitive markets with a handicap of that character the Delegate confessed he did n't know. The buying public would be disinclined to pay the greatlyincreased price for fish, sales would be bound to fall off sharply fishing in Alaska waters would be curtailed, and many of those who depend on that industry for a livelihood would be thrown out of em- ployment. The reprecussion would soon be felt by the Ter ritorial government, which de- rives over so percent of it's tax ation revenue from the fisher ies, and it would be forced to spend less on schools and indi gents and in other directions
 All these arguments, and many more, were advanced by i MT. Dimond orally at the hear and elaborated upon in brief filed with George N. |
