Including two approach roads,
all embraced within the pro-

seven miles. One hundred

to load a freight train 20

A new highway from the

Longest Span

The news that the Golden
Gate Bridge, so long dreamed
Of, is actually under construc-
ton, is arresting news, for the
spanning of the Golden Gate is
not only a tremendous engineer
ing feat but a long step forward
toward the completion Of a
wondrous highway to extend
straight northward from South
America to Alaska, a royal road,
indeed; as romantic as the road
to Samarkand.
The assembled navies Of the
world could anchor at ease with
in San Francisco Bay. The
purity of its blue waters, their
loveliness, is not excelled by the
roadsteads of Naples or Of Sor'
rento. The grandeur of it's
scenery rivals the best the world
has to offer an artists eye. And
the new bridge, they tell us, will
contribute to, rather than de-
tract from all this majesty and
beauty. It will not blot out
Tamalpais, the majestic, nor
will it rob by one single ray
the rising sun going in through
the great gateway or the setting
sun taking it's leave. Rather,
indeed, it will add another chap
ter to the story of one OF the
worlds most fascinating cities.

will have the longest clear

Cuba Presents Grave and

very soon. But the state Of
public order in Cuba continued
to be too disturbed to fix a
date for a new election. And
now De Cespedes has been
overthrown and disorder con-
tinueS.
In this situation, the Roose-
velt administration is striving
by a strong demonstration Of
naval force, to impress the
people of Cuba with its deter
mination to exercise it's author
ity and discharge it's RESPONSE
bility under the Platt Amend
ment unless Cuba quickly
establishes a government strong
enough to restore order.
If this demonstration by the
United States Navy fails of its
purpose, armed intervention
may become necessary at any
time. And armed Intervention
means an eXpeditionary force
to restore order and probably
to supervise a new election.
The Washington times., 1933-09-08
Large Force Required

To do this would require at
least one division of the Regular
Army, if not several divisions,
in addition to such assistance as
the Navy and Marine Corps can
provide at Cuban ports.
Before the Roosevelt admins
tration, however, resorts to
armed intervention in Cuba, it
will probably exhaust all avail
able sources of accurate infor.
nation in regard to the Cuban
people and their problems.
The best informed American
by common consent on Cuba is
Maj. Gen. Frank Ross Mccoy,
U. S. A., now under orders to
command the Seventh Corps
Area with headquarters at
Nebraska.
He began his study Of Cuba
as an aide to Gen. Leonard
Wood at Santiago in 1898. He
has continued that study ever
since. He was General Woods
trusted adviser throughout the
time the general was governor
of Cuba. He went to Cuba with
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon when
President Roosevelt was COM
PEELED to intervene in 1906. He
has visited Cuba many times
since. He knows Cuba, her
past and her present, her peo-
pie and her problems, and he
has the confidence of all sorts
and conditions of Cubans to a
greater degree than any oIher
American.

One reason why the Hoover
administration was reluctant to
assist the Cuban opposition in
eliminating Machado was be-
cause his opponents were un-
able to agree among them
selves who should run for
President next year.
This program was set aside
by the Roosevelt administration
and the new Ambassador was
sent to Cuba with authority to
act as mediator between Ma
chado and his political foes.
Machado's opponents, how
ever, were in no mood for me-
diation. They were determined
to get rid of the Machado gov
ernment, and finally did.
Then, with the assistance OF

Conditions in Cuba are too
grave for thoughtful Americans
to tolerate any captious crltl'
cism of what the Hoover ad-
ministration or the Roosevelt
administration might have done
or left undone to avert the
crisis which now engages It's
earnest attention.
How to help the Cuban peo-
pie to bring order out of chaos,
and whether this can be done
without a resort by the United
States to armed intervention
under the Platt Amendment is
the difficult problem with
which the Roosevelt admins
tration is now wrestling.
In fairness to this Admin
istration, the handicaps under
which it labors in dealing with
the emergency that has de.
stroyed the last semblance OF
constitutional government in
Cuba should not be forgotten.
When the Roosevelt admin.
istration entered power last
March, it inherited from the
Hoover administration a pro-
gram for dealing with Cuba's
troubles. This program called
for a revision of the election
laws of Cuba with a view to
the holding of an honest elec-
ton next year.
The opposition to the Ma.
chado government was urged
to accept this program and was
promised that pressure would
be exerted on Machado to mod
ify his drastic method of deal
ing with political opponents.
