1t is equally clear the Cuban revolu-

after our O. k had been given.
That sounds as if We had an i'm

TALLY.
Our officials claim to be quite pleased
with Cespedes The career men re-
member him as a former Cuban Am
baSsador to Washington. The fact he
was public works minister under Ma
chado during the Cuban spending spree
is not being held against him.
Apparently he was not responsible for
the SuspiciouSly expensive road building
and public works program of MaChado.
The deepest secret so far is what
happened to the National City Bank and
Electric Bond and Share.
Until recently insiders regarded Ma
chado as their man. If they raised a
hand to help him this time it was no.
where apparent here. There have been
little indications from time to time that
they were getting less and less fond of
Machado. That certainly is true Of the
National Clty OFFICIALS OOHle suspect
they helped the ousting process.
Those in closest touch with Cuban
affairs believe neither company will
suffer by the change. If Cuba is put
on its feet they will profit.

Judge Harry B. Keidan. conducting the

while the latter was President. to ap-
prise him of the banking situation in

group. was in need of loan.

Mr. Hoover, the witness said. told him
Senator Couzens had stated that if the
R. F. c. made the loan to the Guardian
group he (CouZens) would "denounce
it,"
The President said" Mills testified
that one reason the directors CT the
r. F. c. did not think the collateral
was of sufficient value was fear of
Couzens. Couzens was not only the
senior Senator from the State where
the loan was going but also had been
chairman of the Senate committee in
vestigating r. F. c. loans"
Mills said Mr. Hoover told him the
r. F. c. directors did not want to face
Couzens criticism even for so worthy
a purpose as saving about million de-
positors." He said the President evi-
denced every desire to reach a solution
of the problem, which, banks had
agreed would necessitate the closing Of
Detroit banks and probably those out

Need Put at $5l.200.000.
Mills said that to place the Guardian
group on a sound basis $51 200 900 was
needed A plan was offered to raise
this amount by a loan Of $43, 700 900
from the r. F. C. and by obtaining con-
sent of the Ford Motor Co. to freeze its
$500, 900 deposit.
The R. F. c.. he said, advised it had
consented to loan of $37,500 900, and
the Ford Co. agreed to the freezing.

ARRANGEMENTS were made last June
vi b the British to open discussions
heSe about July Is The London Con-
ference spoiled that arrangement You
could not discuss anything while that
mess was in the process of disintegra-
ton. Then they started talking about
August Is. That date. too. has been
lost in the shuttle Now no one will
mention any date.
The truth is our statesmen are dis
inclined to push matters. The depre-
ciated dollar gives the debtors an edge
The best time for us to talk about war
debts would be after we have stabilized
the dollar
The debtors are just as studiously
avoiding the issue. Since the London
Conference there is no agitation abroad
in favor Of payment.
The whisper in international circles
is that something will be done in
September-perhaps
Our backstage boys have learned
through diplomatic channels that the
British are preparing to ask for 80
per cent reduction in the debt. Ap-
parently, they would settle with a 10
per cent lump-sum payment.
That is ridiculous 1t is only their
proposed first offer for bargaining pur-
poses, but it is absurd even for that
It only shows how eager they are to
pay.
Diplomatic Hair Splitting.
The splitting of hairs in interna-
tional diplomacy never was more evi-
dent than in the recent British message
on Cuba. The crown ardently denied
it had protested to Welles about the
mistreatment of British subjects In
Cuba 1t asserted on its dignity that
it had merely told Welles about it FOR
HIS OWN INFORMATION.
The subtertuge uds required be-
cause the British held their original
action UdS interpreted as an indirect
request for American Intervention.
State Secretary Hull had nothing to
do with the Cuban situation. He knew
nothing of it when he returned from
London and permitted Caffery to con-
tinue handling it under mild super
vision from Undersecretary Phillips.
