American business interests
there"
An official Of an American bank
in Havana told DR.. Wicker, he
says, that entrance Of food into
the island without the collection
of tariffs would seriously cut down
import revenues, and thereby re-
duce the funds necessary for pay
ing the interest on foreign bond
indebtedness.
Another example of official op-
position, states DR.. Wicker, is the
statement of Cosme de la Tor.
riente, Cuban secretary Of state,
that the country needs money, not
food.
DR.. Wicker points out, in ex-
planning this attitude, that Cuban
banking interests are attempting
to gain from the United States a
loan Of $4,000, 900.
Calls On President
Meanwhile, people are starving,
he says. Women and children grow
weaker daily from lack of food,
and their male relations, seeking
a remedy, are rapidly turning to
strikes and Communism.
DR.. Wicker'S observations in
Cuba are backed by his long knowl-
edge of the country, gained by
numerous trips there; his seven
years experience as an American
diplomat in Latin-American lands,
and his scholastic standing as
former professor of international
law at the University of Miami.
At present he Is awaiting action
from President Roosevelt, follow
ing a visit to the White House, dur
ing which he left the documents
proving the dire necessity for i'm
mediate American aid in Cuba if
the land is to remain a republic.

statement prefacing his proposed
amendments said:
81 am not in accord with the

seem designed to punish stock
exchanges for imaginary Of
fenSeS."
Mr.. Whitney conceded the neces
sity for abolishment of "great
speculative excesses," but denied
the stock exchanges caused then
in 1929.
He proposed removal Of the 81
per cent margin requirement il
the bill and substitution Of 6

Two classes have been arranged as
q nucleus for further development,
Mrs Reed said, one in contract
bridge and one in ball room dancing.
The new center must be Self-Sup-
porting. she said, and in order to do
this classes must be subscribed to in
advance. After the first meeting at
the school December II, further en-
tertainments can be arranged by any
residents of the District west of Rock
Greek Park to Conduit road who de-
sire them.

From c. L. Bardo, president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, came what he termed the
platform of industry" and in pre-
senting it to the National Industrial
Council he warned:
Industry stands on the threshold
Of public opinion. We will be praised
or condemned as We measure up to a
sound program Of industrial recovery,
based upon the precepts and expert
ences of our established economic
order 40
The platform" advocates a bal
anced budget by adoption of policies
which will stimulate business, restore
employment. increase national income
and permit cutting public expenses to
fit reasonable taxes" 1t opposes pay
ment of the soldier bonus until due
and suggests withdrawal of Federal
aid from every State which does not
reduce expenditures (excluding relief
and bond obligations) to at least the
1926 level"
The program also advocates an
early return to the gold standard
and asks a thoroughly competent
and non-partisan" study of the bank
ing system.
The program may be amended to-
day and will be- presented for rati-
fication to the American Congress of
Industry. which opens a two-day ses-
sion tomorrow

Herald Has Birthday.

The Hyder Weekly Herald enters today upon it's eleventh year of existence, the present issue being Number One of Volume Eleven.
 Many small-town newspapers see in their birthdays an occas ion for lot of moralizing and usually devote considerable space to reminding the "dear subscriber" of what they have done for the benefit of the community, with considerable personal back-patting in the process.
 However, all we have to say is that we hope that long be- fore our next eleventh birthday comes around the Herald will have acquired the status of an uptodate daily publication and Hyder will be the most pros rerous and progressive mining camp in Alaska; as we are con- fident it will be in time, in spite of present set-backs and disappointments.
