of his ruthlessness coupled with the

his country, for his people. for liberty,
for progress, democracy, law, order and

Within 80 days Of his taking Office

For some seven years the Cuban peo-

that proud people, and our own grow
ing sensitiveness to Latin America opin-
ion which our every interference in
our neighbors' internal affairs arouses,
tend to inhibit the freedom of word
and deed of an envoy charged with
the supremely dif11cult and intricate
task of Mr.. Summer Welles.
Perhaps, too, among the American
officials charged with formulating our
foreign policy will grow the realization
that there tsr no short cut to demo-
cratic self government, but only the
long and arduous path of trial and
error Possibly q people whose metrop-

the late Thomas B. Reeds wisdom
uttered at the time of our assumption
of new responsibilities in Cuba:
"The best government Of which any
people is capable, is government which
they achieve for themselves. With all
its faults, with all its shortcomings, 1t
Is always better than the best gov

with independent Cuba has been an
alternative Of active interventions and
watchful passivity. After turning over
the government to the Cubans in 1902,
we intervened militarily in 1906, when
following a fraudulent presidential elec-
ton, and the consequent revolt by the
cheated and defeated Liberals. the
Moderates refused to install a govern
ment and anarchy threatened. 1t
should be noted that President Theo-
dore Roosevelt was loath to intervene
and that the record of the United
States on that occasion is unimpeach-
able. The Magoon occupation lasted
two years and withdrew with the elec-
ton of President Gomez There was
another temporary Intervention in 1912
to avert what appeared like impending
bloodshed. Under President Taft the
United States adopted a preventive"
policy-we interfered little, often, to
avoid formal Intervention.
Sugar Provides Link.
The World War with its imperative
need for sugar linked the economic
destinies Of the two countries more
closely than they had been. Following
war. and an epidemic of bank failures,
American financial interests assumed
an even more dominant role in Cuba.
Our investments in Cuba exceed bill
lion dollars. At the same time Wash
ington made a serious effort to avert
the political disorders Of the past by
providing Cuba with new electoral
code and political Marquis of Queens
bury rules. for which end Gen. Crowder
was dispatched to Cuba. first as a semi
official pro-consul later as Ambassa-
dor A 312-page electoral code resulted,
which its author deemed fraudproof.
And now Machado enters the scene,
taking Office as President in May,
1925. As 50 often in the history of
in-American politics. the candidate
professed the noblest purposes. He
would not run for reelection. After
four years in Office no power on
earth will keep me in it one single day

iterated with histronic variants on
numerous occasions. Midway in his
term he declared in a public address
that as "a man whose lips had never
been defiled by a lie" he could not now

Tn five weeks time we covered nearly 5000 miles of country, some of which we could not have reached in three years had we not been able to use the airplane. We went as far as Nome and hoped to go on into Kotzebue but were unable to do it because there was ice and we were flying with pontoons, MT. Goldstein said. With J. J. Meherin and Lyle Hebert, merchan- disc brokers, MT Goldstein made this trip in chartered Pacific Alaska Airways plane piloted by Harry Blunt which met them at Anchorage on their way into the Interior.
 Met Many Traders
 s"On this trip had the pleasure of meeting many trappers and traders throughout the Interior and Westward districts and found them a fine class of men, interesting and of a high type. It was one of the most worthwhile aspects of my trip" MT. Goldstein declared. q also met a great many oldtimers, some of whom had been in Juneau around 1886 and enjoyed talking with them"
 Speaking of the r1se in the price of furs, MT. Goldstein said he be- lieves the higher prices will be- come stablefzed though he does not look for much further advance until next year
 Placer Mining
 Placer mining districts in the h. terior have been up against it for lack of water so far this season and in some places have only small crews working due to the dry weather.
 While MT. Goldstein was on his trip he received a report of a new placer strike on the slope of the Arctic range in the Grow Creek district which was said to be good. One prospector was re- ported to have come out recently with 20 ounces, he was told.
 "The trip was very successful and am more than satisfied with the results. I plan to make much the same coverage in the early part of June next year" MT. Gold stein declared.

 FURS ON TRIP
Traders Expect Larg e
 Catch During Coming Season SaysFurrier

Traders and trapperS throughout the Interior and Westward dis tricts of Alaska are jubilant con- corning the rise in the prices of furs and are in hopes that the rise continues, according to Charles Goldstein, one of the largest fur dealers on the Coast, who returned to his home here on the Aleutian after an extensive airplane buying trip through the Interior districts. Traders have been poorly off during the last year or so in regard to business, both up and down the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers due to the slackness of buying and the lightness of the fur catch" MT. Goldstein said. "The fur catch last winter was extremely light, the muskrat catch on the Yukon and Kuskokwim being less than IS per cent of the year previous owing to the lack of snow and the extreme cold weather, freezing the animals out and destroying many of them. The foxes on the lower Yukon and Kuskokwim were poor for the same reason and the majority of pelts were very poor However, the beaver catch on the upper Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers was heavier than a year ago and they were of excellent quality" he said
 Expect Good Season
 Because of the abundance of rabbits, chicken and p.armigan coming back this year and the fact that the country is overrun with field mice, it looks like a good season this year as they are all the natural food of fur bearing ami mals, MT. Goldstein declared.
 Bought Quantities of Furs
 MT. Goldstein brought back large quantities of furs of every description, which are of a fair average quality, including beaver, fox, lynx, quite a number of mink, marten and otter. Y z f9

WHITE METAL MAY RECEIVE
 AID SHORTLY
Indicated Administration to Turn Attention to
 Silver as to Gold

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The gold program embarked upon by President Roosevelt is expected, in usually well informed sources, to turn attention immediately to aiding silver.
 It is indicated that the Chief Executive is studying the silver question closely and that consul tation will soon be held to seek definite program to aid the white metal.
 Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada, told the newspapermen that he felt something will have to be done promptly for silver in view of the Presidential declaration for a free gold market with America overlooking all buyers of the yell low metal in International Ex- change.
 Senator Pittman said this would widen exchange disparity of silver having particular effect on the Orient and South America.
 He explained the disparity would widen and cripple trade with countries using silver, such as China and some South American Republics. The silver spokesman hoped 90 cents an ounce would be called for by the Administration in any program developed.
