regarded in many circles as being
responsible for its overthrow-a belief
which has caused considerable Bit
terness.
THE resentment Of many Cubans
has been increased by the accusation
that the Mendieta coalition, which
succeeded Grau, was and is largely
the creature Of American diplomacy.
Consequently. many Cubans
doubt whether the termination Of the
Platt amendment marks the end of
American Intervention in their af-
fairs. They fear that such inter-
vention may be continued In other
and less responsible forms. and that
the present government will stay in
office only so long as it enjoys Amer
ican favor. -
United States Factor in Trouble.
To-day Cuba is witnessing con-
tinuing acts Of disorder, and the
spirit Of constructive patriotism
which dominated the island more
than a year ago has given way to a
sense OF Illustration. The conclusion
cannot be avoided, however, that the
interference Of the United States in
an internal revolutionary struggle has
been a factor in creating Cubas pres
ent situation"
This may not seem the place to
do 1t, but We cannot resist the tempta-
tion to compare these conclusions of
an impartial, thorough and scholarly
report of United States authorities
on the subject with the views re-
peatedly expressed in these columns
since the beginning of the present
Cuban crisis.
A year and a half ago, when the
Cubans themselves, overcome with
JOY, were celebrating the overthrow
OF Machado, we pointed out that the
Ambassador Of the United States in
Havana had played a role far beyond
that Of mere friendly curiosity" as
had been reported by the State De-
partment, and that the provisional
Cespedes regime transpired too much
OF foreign interference to satisfy the
truly revolutionary aspirations Of the
Cuban people and, therefore, to be
able to maintain itself in power for
any length of time.
Later on, when another Washing
ton-sponsored coalition government,
that Of Mendieta, was established and
almost instantly recognized by The
United States, and when everybody
was hailing this development as the
dawn of a new day for Cuba, we
wrote: THE obvious haste of the
Washington administration about
recognition of the Mendieta govern
ment in Cuba may prove embarrass-
ing to the good neighbor policy. The
expediency with which preparations
for the recognition Of Mendieta were
made only q few hours after he had
been selected chief executive, and the
endeavors to secure recognition by
other American governments, may be
interpreted In Latin America as an
indication that the United States still
reserves to itself the right to decide
when Cuban regime has enough
popular support and when 1t Is able
to maintain law and order This con-
clusion is unavoidable in the face of
the unwielding refusal of the United
States to recognize the Grau govern
ment, which for almost four months
controlled the Cuban situation, pre-
served internal order, and faithfully
carried out its international cbliga-
tions."
Some time later, we insisted: ''The

Of $l5,777,005 over 1882, and employed
19l $50 workers. an increase of 2,S23
over the year before.
The 1888 turnover by the retail
societies was valued at S986, ,285, ,045,
a decrease of $19,822, 800 from the
preceding year. Of1cials state, how
ever, that the fall Of prices was largely
accountable for the decrease In value
and that the volume of the trade in
creased.
Before the Rochdale pioneers
started their shop various co-opera-
tive enterprises had been attempted
and faileds The Rochdale scheme
differed from its predecessors mainly
In that it introduced the principle
Of return of profit on basis Of pur-
chaSeS.
This feature has been carried out
in the movement as it has grown
today. There is limitation of per
cent on the interest rate on the
capital invested by members. profits
are returned on a basis of purchases

Is that one man Is entitled to one

- TUDENTS OF interna tional af-
fairs who had been endeavor-
ing futilely to understand the
~ political, economic and social
forces unleashed in Cuba by
the overthrow of the Machado dicta-
torship will be grateful to the For
eign Policy Association for the report
it has just issued under the heading
Problems Of the New Cuba"
The result of several months Of in
tensive study and work by a group Of
distinguished authorities. the report
was undertaken at the suggestion and
invitation of the present government
OF Cuba. and it was carried out with
funds donated by the Rockefeller
Foundation. two facts which should
testify as to the rather conservative
plane from which the experts who
wrote it viewed events and conditions
in the island republic. This circum-
stance, although it must have, ma
turally, prevented the authors Of the
report from speaking more freely on
certain aspects-aS shown in their
treatment Of the social unrest, the pub
lie utilities, the abuses of foreign capi-
tai, etc-adds to the significance and
the weight Of their conclusions, for
they cannot be suspected of animosity
against the present Cuban regime
nor can they be suspected Of a biased
judgment to pass upon the more re-
cent policies Of the United States in
Cuba.
With this thought in mind, let us
hear what the Commission on Cuban
Affairs of the Foreign Policy Asso-
ciation-the most widely recognized
organization of its kind in the United
States-has to say about that par
ticular phase cf the Cuban problem
which, because of its bearing upon
pam American understanding. is of
greatest interest to our readers.
Fear United States Meddling.
We quote from the conclusions of
the report:
THE fundamental obstacle to good
relations between Cuba and the United
States is the widespread belief in
Cuba that the American State De-
partment attempts to make and un-
make governments. and that the pres
ent disturbed situation is an out
growth of a plan for provisional gov
ernment which Washington induced
the Cubans to accept. The original
mediation of the American Govern
ment between President Machado and
the opposition did contribute to
his overthrow.
Washington played an important
part in the subsequent establishment
of a coalition government under DR..
Cespedes. This government, however,
lasted only 81 days. 1t was then sup
planted by the Grau government,
many of whose members had opposed
American mediation.
1.-THE United States not
only declined to recognize the Grau
government, but the American Am
bassador in Cuba aggressively op-
posed it. Whatever the defects of
that government, they did not, in the
opinion Of the commission, justify
the course followed by the United
States. Had Washington followed a
policy of neutrality toward the Grau
regime, this regime would either have
succeeded in gaining the support OF
the more stable elements in the coun-
try or left Office without involving
in any manner the responsibility Of
the United States. AS result OF
the course actually followed. how

last night when thieves stole $500

His ineffectiveness, however. Is not

the robbery, which was reported to
police today by L. D. Claville, car
penter foreman for q construction
company that is remodeling the old
plant into an apartment house.
Until last night the plants dummy
Waterman had kept successful guard
over q large quantity Of machinery IN
the building for more than Is years,
having been placed in a second-story
window when operations at the fac
tory were abandoned. His effective
ness had been attributed by some
residents of Alexandria to the large
number of weird tales woven around
q legendary notorious past.
Last nights loot included plumbers
and electricians tools, radiators,

RUTLAND SEEKING
ADDED PERSONNEL
Appropriations of s605,250
Requested for 1887 by
Health Officer.

Enlargement of the Health Depart
ment personnel to make possible q
more concerted drive next year for
improvement Of public health con-
ditions, particularly as to communica-
Bile diseases. is proposed by Health
Officer George c. Rutland in asking
appropriations totaling $605,250 for
1887.
The estimate represents an increase
of s13l 900 over present funds, or
about SO per cent, but still would
leave the District below standards
of per capita costs fixed by the
American Public Health Association,
DR.. Rutland said.
The present per capita cost OF
health work here now is 81 cents.
The proposed budget would raise this
to $l.l3, but national medical leaders
hold a budget of from 50 to $3.50
per capita Is standard.
It is significant. DR.. Rutland said,
that cities having budgets approx
mating that standard consistently
had stood in the front rank IN
health"
Seeks to Expand Bureau.
DR.. Rutland asks funds for ex-
pansion of the Public Health Nursing
Bureau. There now are 80 nurses
in specialized service, who are to be
transferred to generalized program.
Ten additional nurses are provided
for this year under a $4,000 de-
ficiency appropriation. DR.. Rutland
seeks employment Of 10 more for
next year. According to accepted
standards, the District needs 200 in
all, he said.
He proposes to start development OF
q new health education, with the
employment Of a director at $4,000,
and also requests a Statistician. This
is part of his plan to launch health
promotion programs on a public basis
STRENGTHENING of the public school

through reorganization of the present
staff. While the total of employees In
this division would remain at 81 ne
would enlarge some units and cut
others. He seeks as new aides to DIR.

inspector, an assistant chief, q dental

tor.

A director for tuberculosis control
is to be employed under the $45 900
deficiency. DR.. Rutland proposes to
make this permanent. Another feature
Of his plan is employment Of direc-
tor and assistant director for the
Nursing Bureau. In all, $93, 200 OF the
increase would be for staff additions
and $4,000 for replacement OF an
ambulance and other motor equip
ment, for medical equipment and sup
plies.
DR.. Rutland also pleaded for more
suitable and larger quarters for the
department staff, but left determine
ton to later date. He asked an In
crease from 81 800 to $8.563 in appro-
priations for laboratory operation and

The Commissioners determined to-
day to make an immediate start in
enforcement of the strict new smoke
control law by drawing on the Health
Department appropriation to the ex-
tent of $4,000 for necessary expenses.
An item for $4,000 for a smoke
control staff was on the third deficiency
bill which failed of passage at the
close of the past session of Congress.
This bill is to be taken up as the first
order OF business in January and the
Commissioners plan to reimburse the
Health Department out of that appro-
priation.
Engineer Is Sought
The Commissioners plan to make
an immediate search for a smoke-con-
troll engineer to head up enforcement
of the new law and to draft detailed
regulations. To meet the present
emergency, smoke-control inspectors
will use the No. Ringleman chart,
established by Government experts, to
measure density of smoke. The Com
missioners adopted a general state
ment Of regulations to govern the pres
ent enforcement.
At today's session. the city heads
also awarded contract for construc-
ton of a sewage disposal plant to
serve the Children's and Adults Tu-
berculosis Hospitals at Glenn Dale,
Md. The award went to the North
western Construction Co., for s57,425.
Plans for remodeling stairways and
exits at Eastern High School were ap-
proved and bids will be asked from
contractors. The cost is estimated not
to exceed $4,000.

WIFE Of SUSPECT
IN Staying HELD
Mrs. Hummer Arrested as
Material Witness in
Brush Murder.

FAIRFAX, Va, September 6.-Mrs.
Hugh Hummer, wife Of the suspect
held here on a charge of numbering
Truman Brush, 76-year-old farmer of
near Falls Church, was arrested last
night by Sheriff E. p. Kirby and
lodged in Jail with her husband.
She is being held for investigation
and as a material witness. She was
taken into custody at q friends house,
where she had been staying since
Runners arrest last week.
Both Deny Connection.
Mrs. Hummer, so, and her husband
both have denied any knowledge of
the staying of Brush, whose body
Hummer reported finding two weeks
ago today on the wooded pathway be-
tween his and Brush's houses.
Kirby would not reveal the informa-
ton which led him to arrest Mrs.
Hummer. She YVES questioned but
briefly last night, but is due to be
grilled at greater length later today.
In the meantime, the sheriff Is
awaiting results Of an analysis which
Federal agents are making of a pair
Of blood-Stained overalls which Kirby
said he found In a closet of Hummer s
home the day after his arrest.
Hearing Delayed.
He indicated yesterday he was
doubtful if the blood would CORE
spond with that found on the rock
with which Brush's head was crushed.
Prospects for an early preliminary
hearing for Hummer were wiped out
with the arrest of his wife. It had
been expected that he would be
brought into County Court this week,
but the earliest he will face Judge
Paul E. Brown is some time next week,
