Three Minute Journeys
Burgundy Lovely Section
of Old France

Burgundy-a Lovely Section
of Old France
One of the most picturesque
and lovely districts Of France
is the Burgundy region. It is
a great favorite, accordingly,
with motorists. Next time
YOU are in Paris and have
time to spare make up a party
and head south for the hills
of beautiful Burgundy, a Sec
ton Of great historical impor-
lance where there is much to
see and admire.
Avalon is the first really
important town reached by
motorists from Paris and is
generally selected as their first
stop, The town. is most in
teresting on market days, and
then France can be seen at
it's provincial best, with it's
simple peasant and farm folk
far removed from that gaiety
and light-hearted joy Of living
that we associate with the
Gallo makeup.
Avalon is full of wonder
fully preserved fifteenth CEN
fury houses and churches,
their creeper-clad walls giving
an impression of beautiful mel
lowneSS.
On market days the narrow
streets and the square are
thronged with carts full of
luscious produce, for the soil
of Burgundy is rich and we'll
tended, and farmers can be
seen eating the typical market
day luncheon, which is dish
of rich cream cheese over
which is poured cream and
sugar.
At the town Of Arcy are most

spection. One vast cavern a
mile long is what remains Of an
immense subterranean gorge
formed by an underground
river. Clusters Of stalagmites
and stactites subdivide this
great Govern into a series Of
communicating caves, and
floodlight illumination height
ems the weird effect. Some years
ago in the caves of Arcy were
found the jawbone of an ape
like man and other relics OF
cove jewellers Of the stone age,
embedded in limestone rock.
One of the most typical Bur-
gundian towns is Vezelay, high
up on a green covered hill. This
old town is tremendously popu-
lar with French people as a
holiday center and sometimes
even the village school has to
be borrowed to. house the horde
of visitors. Go to Vezelay and
you'll always remember its
beauty and quaint charm.
The old capital town Of
Auxerre, on the bank of the
River Yonne, is also incredibly
lovely and mellow. It has a Won
derful old cathedral with an
amazing crypt, its walls COW
cred with most curious frescoes
relating to the Apocalypse.
Everywhere in Burgundy
there are fine old chateauX,
some Of them fronting on the
tree-lined highways travelled by
motorists. Here and there one
comes across a prosperous look
ing farm Of great antiquity, and
learns that centuries ago it was
a fortified chateau.

labor arouses increasing re-
sentiment among the native
Cubans. And this resent
ment has been exploited
through Central and South
America to the disadvantage
of the United States.
In order to export more
sugar to this country, the
Cuban government is seeking
a revision of the reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the
United States. The negotia-
ton of a new treaty of
mutual advantage to the two
countries is one of the first
tasks to which Ambassador
Welles will address himself.
But the prospect of in
creasing Cuba's exports of
sugar to the United States
is arousing the apprehension
of our cane and beet sugar
States. Rather than see a
new reciprocity treaty with
Cuba negotiated, American
investors in domestic sugar
properties would prefer to
see the Plat Amendment re-
pealed.
Plat Amendment
Authorizes Intervention
The Plat Amendment was
embodied in the first Cuban
Constitution on June 2, 1901,
and became the basis of the
permanent treaty between
Cuba and the United States.
Under this amendment, Of
which Senator Plat of Con-
necticut was the author, the
United States is given the
right to intervene in Cuba
whenever intervention is be-
lieved to be necessary to pro-
tect Cuba from intervention
by any foreign power.
Cuba is pledged under this
amendment not to make a
treaty with any foreign
power which would weaken
her independence, not to per.
nit any foreign power to OBJ
tain a foothold on the island
and not to contract a public
debt that could not be met
in the ordinary revenues of
the island.
Cuba also gives her con-
sent under this amendment
to American intervention for
independence, for the main
tenance of a government
strong enough to protect
"life, property and indi-
vidual liberty" and for dis
charging the obligations i'm
posed by the Treaty Of Paris
on the United States. This
was the treaty by which
Spain relinquished her sover-
eighty over Cuba.
Political Peace
Is Need Of Island
If the Roosevelt Admins
tration adheres to traditional
American policy, it will not
utilize the Plat Amendment
as an excuse for "intermed-
ding or interference with
the affairs Of the Cuban gov
eminent"
The problem which the
Roos 1t administration
faces in dealing with Cuba
is to help the Cuban people
regain political peace by
preparing for ga free and
fair election" reestablish
economic prosperity by d.
versifying their crops, shut
ting out undesirable immi-
grafton and recognizing
their sugar industry on a
firmer foundation.
If this can be done with
out American Intervention
or another Cuban revolution
or another American occu-
patton, both Cuba and the
United States will be the
gamers. Then the way will
be cleared for the negotla-
ton of a new reciprocity
treaty between the two
countries that should

The New Deal Faces An
Old Problem in Cuba
BY James T. Williams, Jr.-

On the eve of the arrival
at his post of President
Roosevelt's Ambassador to
Cuba, Havana reports that
signs have appeared on the
fences and walls of the Cuban
Capital reading "Oppose
American Intervention.
This incendiary propa-
ganda is presumably a coun-
ter blast by supporters of the
Machado government who
are apprehensive over activi-
ties in the United States OF
Cuban opponents Of that gov
eminent.
Both President Roosevelt
and Ambassador Welles have
avowed their belief in the
policy Of the "good neigh
Dor" to which the President
committed his Administration
in his inaugural address and
his address before the Pan
American Union at its cele-
bration of Pan-American
Day.
American intervention in
Cuba might prove a costly
experience for both Cuba
and the United S t a t e S.
Should it lead to another
Cuban revolution, and that in
turn to another American oc-
cupation, the ultimate out
come should be difficult to
forecast.
Island Is Plagued
By Distress
Cuba is again plagued to-
day by the twin evils of po-
litical unrest and economic
distress. The unrest is due
to a bitter conflict that has
been going on for some time
between the Machado gov
eminent and its enemies.
The distress is due to the
collapse Of the sugar indus
try which is the economic
mainstay Of the Cuban people.
Conditions in Cuba have
long been a matter of seri-
Gus concern to the Wash
ington Government. When
Mr.. Hoover entered the
White House four years ago,
it was expected that a flare
up in Cuba might be one of
the first serious foreign
problems with which his Ad-
ministration would have to
deal.
President Machado had
just been elected for a sec
ond term under circum-
stances that forecast future
trouble in Cuba. When he
was first elected president,
he was pledged to one
term policy. Two years
later he decided to succeed
himself as president. He
united the three political
parties, convened a consti-
tutional asse b ly and
brought about the extension
of his term of office from
four to six years.
With the support of the
army and by frequent re-
sort to ruthless measures,
he has maintained himself
in power against 2 rising
tide of opposition. Latterly,
the assassinations, bombings
and terrorism have increased
and as inevitably happens
Cuba's political warfare has
produced repurcussions in
the form of appeals for
American intervention from
enemies and critics Of the
Cuban government.

MRS. VARE
! To RETURN
To GOLF
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Not much has been said about
Luther C. Steward, jr., the somber-
faced Congressional Country Club
youngster who was one of the five
District golfers to qualify for the
national amateur championship.
Nevertheless. Steward has been
banging the midget pill about his
home course in grand style and in
such a fashion that his teacher,
Sandy Armour, has marvelled at
his improvement.
Sandy, who is pro at Congress
sional, wouldn't go so far as to
predict that Steward would burst
things wide open in the big blast
at Cincinnati next month but one
could judge from his tone of talk
that he expected Steward to do
something worthwhile.
Approaching Deadly
Speaking of Steward, Sandy re-
marks:
Hes hitting the ball straight
and approaching deadly. You
should see him place them near
the cup from distances of 100
yards and more. His putting is
{ also firStclaSS. Maybe, he'll do
something in the national anna
teur championship that will re-
fleet credit upon him."
A arrangement of the club
events at Congressional is neceS-
sary and both the mems and
women's championships will be
changed.

Great Storm Damage
Owners of pleasure craft made
dash to the waterfront bright
and early yesterday morning to
see how their respective craft
withstood the ravages of the
storm. They found a sorry scene.
with some boats gone to the
bottom, others setting up on
catwalks and still others hooked
onto pilings.
1t is estimated that 95 per cen.
of the boats in port were dam
aged in one way or another, tle
luckier ones suffering mostly from
water damage inside.
However. there was much fos
which to be thankful. since thG
vast majority of craft remained
afloat, something many though
not possible in such a storm.
Phelps VS.. GOodselI
Those who follow the profee'
Sional scullerS are all worked up.
1t appears that Ted PhelpE,
numbered among the best e
Great Britain's boatmen, is te
cross blades with Bobby PearcS
in a three-mile championship
race, in Toronto. on September
l, after which the Briton wilI
tackle Major Jack Goodsell, of
Los Angeles.
Pearce is said to have no
chance to beat the man from
across the seas. but there is a
hot argument revolving around
the proposed Phelps-Goodsell
battle.
Phelps and Goodsell met in
Los Angeles some time ago. Some
who witnessed the race insist
that the Englishman won by
scant half length. Others in
sist that it was closer to two
and half lengths. The official
report of the race verifies the
accuracy of the opinion of the
latter group, giving the differ
ence as two and a half lengths.
Coming to Regatta?
Phelps, who is very proud of
his ability with the oars, says
that he can win by a city block
and is willing to row Goodsell
every morning, every noon and
every night-for money, the more
money the better.
Several local followers of the
professional scullers, more partic-
ularly John Hogan, who once
was a sculler himself, suggest
that the Presidents Cup Regatta
| invite Ted Phelps and Major
Goodsell to stage their profess
sional race on the first day of
the regatta-September %.
According to Mr.. Hogan, who
sculled the Connecticut River 35
years ago, Phelps and Goodsell
would be glad to come here for
bare expenses.
