The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-02

May 2.-(Special to the Democrat) -Anticipating one of the largest attendances of the session the com mittee on judiciary has assigned only two hearings for Wednesday afternoon. One of these will be on the bill that eliminates the third prosecutor of the city court of Wa terbury.
 Mayor Frank Hayes and other democratic officials from Water bury are planning to attend the hearing and lend their weight to sentiment against the post of third prosecutor. The bill to be heard gives each judge of the city court the right to name only one prose- cutor. As there are only two judges that would result in but two prosecutors.
 A favorable report from the com- mittee is said to be almost assured with similar action in both the senate and house. The state legis- lators are not disposed to enter the Waterbury republican fight over the prosecutorships and will allow that to be fought out in Wa terbury.

 Machado's resignation would call for a new election shortly thereafter. The Roosevelt admin istration doesn't want to wait for the regular election at the end of next year.

It was he who wrote the Washington treaties under which Central Am- erican republics, with the moral collaboration of the United States. agreed not to recognize coup d'etat governments among themselves. He settled serious disturbances where he effected the treaty of Amapala in Honduras in 1923 and the next year settled a difficult problem in the Dominican repub- lie, enabling withdrawal of the marines.

Resignation of Machado

and was subsequently most con- spicuous for his book. ''Naboth's Vineyard" dealing exliaustfvely with the Dominican republic. He speaks Spanish fiuently.
 Constant Friction
 His present mission is the latest of several interventions of various types. The P1att amendment, an appendix to the Cuban constitution as we'll as part of a, permanent treaty between the two republics, gives the United States the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the main tenance of a government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty"
 In 1905 a Cuban government registered at least 150.000 fake names oh the election lists. This led to a revolution in 1906 and soon there were 15,000 American troops in Cuba. President Roose- welt sent Secretary of War William Howard Taft to Cuba and Taft became provisional governor while the warning factions laid down their arms. Thnt occupation lasted two years. M.t nes were landed again in 1912. Warships were sent in 1916, after more election frauds and another threat to the "constl- tutional government" and this government kept getting in and out of Cuban affairs.
 Crowder was sent to Havana in 1921 as President Wilson's special representative, demanding good elections and financial reform. This government demanded the right to investigate any Cuban govern ment department it chose, and American experts were sent to study taxation, banking laws, pub- lie works contracts and other phases.
 In March, 1922, Crowder laid down the first of series of mem oranda demanding reforms. The cabinet of President Zayas re- signed and was replaced by what came to be called "Crowder's cab inet." Under pressure the Cuban cabinet passed electoral, fiscal and other reform measures. Then Ma chado was elected in 1924 and pro- ceeded to establish his iron-handed dictatorship.
 If he isn't forced out his present term will not expire until May 20, 1885.

 Washington, May 2 -CUP)-. Treasury officials intend to await development of Chancellor Hitler's program of compulsory labor in Germany before considering it's possible effect on German exports to this country.
 The tariff law authorizes the treasury to exclude goods produced by forced, indentured or convict labor. unless the domestic supply of the goods in question is insuffi- cient to meet demands. Efforts of domestic producers to have this ban invoked against products from Russia and some other countries have proved futile owing to differ snces as to what constitutes forced labor and difficulties in proving it's Existence.

Cuba grew steadily worse. and Roosevelt concluded that the sit- uation shouldn't be allowed to be- come any messier.
 Machado's opposition has in- tensified its course of terroism. and the governments methods of repression have become corre- spondingly more violent. The op- position has profesedly sought chaos and breakdown in Cuba in order to force Machado to terms, but its obvious intent has been to force this country to intervene since it believed that would be the end of Machado.
 Reciprocity on Sugar
 The Welles mission has an eco- homie as we'll as a political phase, for the administration desires to help this one-crop country out of it's present serious state by giv- ing it a somewhat larger market for Cuban sugar. A reciprocal tariff agreement under which Cuba would be able to sell us 100000 tons of sugar a year appears to be in the cards. Eco homie improvement in Cuba would

 Company E., Louisiana National Guard, was sent to Minden to maintain order. Surgeons and unrses also were sent from Shrev- port.
 All communication lines to Min den were still down today. The power plant was damaged and the town was in darkness all night. Reports reaching here told of the utmost havoc. It was said that fire broke out in the ruins of the negro section last night and added to the horrors.
 Captain Robert F. Kennon, com mander of the Minden unit of the National Guard, was said to have mobilized his troops to aid in re- storing order and to prevent loot ing.
 Calls for ambulances, doctors and nurses continued to pour into this town. The Shreveport chap ter of the American Legion issued a call during the night for lamps. hospital cots and bedding to be take nto Minden and to Arcadia.

 Washington.-The United States is going to intervene in Cuba.
 That is the only possible inter pretation to place on the appoint ment of Assistant Secretary or State Sumner Welles as ambassa- dor to the unsettled island re- public.
 The hard boiled manifestations Of intervention will be avoided, but there is every reason to be- lieye that Welles will soon be tell ing President Gerardo Machado, the Cuban dictator, all about the Roosevelt administrators plans for a Cuban "new deal"
 If necessary, Welles can con clude his speech with the words sor else-."
 No informed person will faint from surprise if President Macha- do, who has kept himself in power since 1924 by a ruthless policy of political suppression, re- signs long before the regular election of November, 1884. In that case there would be a spe- cia1 election which the united States undoubtedly would under take to keep as free and honest as possible.
 A Deliberate Policy
 Welles is this country's star trouble shooter in Latin America. Roosevelt has implicit confidence in him, and the two men have been friends for a long time. It is obvious enough that this ace of the diplomatic service wouldn't be sent to Havana unless the presi- dent had a strong program in mind. As matter of fact, the forth coming course was decided upon weeks before Roosevelt became president, and was not dictated or even speeded in its application by the recent bloody disorders in Cuba.

It was also pointed out by MT Gager that the Hotel Water bury can more easily be converted into a modern apartment building than the Hotel Elton in which the Colonial Trust Company also has an interest.
 Attorney John F. McDonough, receiver for the hotel asked that permission be given for the op- eration of the hotel until October, which normally is the. end of the hotel season. Attorney Gager thought the receivership should be terminated June 1st.
 Judge Booth fixed the date for July 1st when the hotel will cease to be operated. From July 1st un. til September 1st, the receiver will be given an opportunity to dispose of the personal effects. Immedi- ately thereafter steps will be taken to convert the building into an apartment house.
