CUBAN STUDENTS
REJECT MEDIATION
Prefer to Continue Struggle
AGAINST Machado Tyranny,
Statement Says.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, July 15.-Members of
the student directorate Of the Univer-
sity of Havana, Cuba. said in state
ment here today they preferred ito
continue our struggle against the
Machado tyranny and to sacrifice our
lives" rather than accept American
mediation in the island republics politi-
cal affairs
We do not want a hasty solution
which in the end will blight the pro-
gram we adopted from the beginning
and dim the ideals which, now and
always. we desire to hold uppermost,"
the statement said.
The student movement was mot only
to combat and dethrone" President
Gerardo Machado. but also Ito pro-
mote a thorough cleansing of the sys-
tenn"
Implies Intervention.
We students understand that the
mediation proposed by the Ambassador
of the United States (Sumner S.
Welles, tacitly implies an intervention
and is backed by the cOercive power
Of the American Government
This mediation therefore allows the
right Of self determination Of the Cuban
people and tends to once more invelgle
it with the idea that our internal trou-
bles may only be solved with foreign
collaboration
Ambassador Welles' invitation to the
university student directorate to partic-
ipate in the mediation conferences
was studied lin every respect. con-
sidering on the one side the distressing
political predicament of our country,
and. on the other. our duty as Cubans
to watch out for the integrity of our
sovereignty, rejecting any formula
which might in any manner impair
I'VE have decided to- courteously, de-
cline Mr.. Sumner Welles' invitation
Continuing. the statement said we
do not pretend to ignore the Platt
amendment Cunder which the United
States exercises the right of interven-
ton in Cuba) = y, but 1t is no less
true that the acceptance of said treaty
was forced upon the people Of Cuba
as an indispensable condition for recog-
milton of its independence.
Hold Discussions Impossible.
That the constituents of 1901 pre-
ferred a mortgaged republic to no re-
public at all does not prevent us from
rebelling against the negation of our
sovereignty and against all acts under
lying such negatlon.
The proposed mediation is no more
and no less than the Vaunted formula
of cordiality which we have so often re-
jected. not only on account of the dis
trust which would logically inspire any
promise coming from the side of the
Cuban government. but also because
it IS improper to discuss or enter into
agreement with usurpers.
we can not. therefore, enter into
any discussion. even by proxy, with our
executiontrs and assassins, nor acknowl-
edge-a condition imposed by Mr.. Welles
to the mediationist sectors-a juridic
status which We will continue to con-
slider illegitimate, as it emerges from
the transgresSion of constitutional
principles which we have heretofore held
inviolate"
The statement, addressed to "the
people of Cuba" was made public by
Juan Antonio Rubio, Cuban doctor who
is in exile here. He is president Of the
university student directorate.
