ing current installation into opera

Immediately campaign was un-

that direct current was safe but
that alternating current intro

VXTASHINGTON, May 49,
wv Miguel Mariana Gomez,
who will be inaugurated president
of Cuba tomorrow, had some
highly important and confidential
conversations with President
Roosevelt when he was in Wash
ington. They may mean drastic
changes in Cuba, and if so, will
include:
l.. The transfer of the Amer
lean ambassador, Jefferson Caf-
ferry.
2. The political subsection of
Col. Fu1gencio Batista, ex-ser-
geant, now the iron-handed die
tator of Cuba.
Behind the secret parleys of
Gomez and Roosevelt is the fact
that the Island Republic now is
more blood-soaked than in the
days of tyrant Machado whom
Roosevelt took steps to GUST.
Furthermore, the American
ambassador is held by many Gu
bans to be responsible indirectly
for Batista's reign of terror.
THERE now are approximately
l. 1900 political prisoners rot
ting in Cuban jails-a figure worse
than the days of Machado.
In fact SO fragrant have become
political assassinations that the
Supreme Court, which. in Cuba is
an extremely weakened inStitu-
ton, recently issued a protest at
the way prisoners were made away
with while en- route to trial.
One case which both the SUI
preme Court and the Cuban Sen
ate protested was the murder of
Augustin Martinez and Octavio
Seigle, the latter well known in
Washington, where he was in exile
during the Machado days.
Their charred bodies were found
in an automobile in Havana sub
urb on April %. They. had been
mutilated, their fingers torn from
each hand, their legs torn from
their bodies. Their bodies were
thrown into a car and the car ig-
nited. However. the car did not
burn, and the bodies were found
with mute evidence of medieval
torture.

DUT it would be mistake to

were the chief attraction of the
World Fair. 1t would be Just as
big a mistake as for some future
historian to conclude that Sally
Rand'S fan dance was the most
important part Of the Chicago
Century of Progress World Fair
of 1888.
Folks did lot of talking about
Sally in 1888 but for every person
who saw her dance, a thousand
crowded into the Hall of Science.
And so it was in 1893.
What impressed visitors most at
the Columbian Exposition was the
lighting. Just as the architecture
was a triumph for Daniel Hudson
Durham, so the lighting was a
triumph for George Westinghouse.
Visitors to the Century of
Progress in 1883 will remember
how, at dark, the fair grounds
turned into a fairyland of colors,.

General Reaction Is That Country
Must be Prepared.

TOXIC, January 16 GR.-cabinet
protestations Of Pacific aims mingled
discordantly. today with the martial
declaration of naval chieftains in
Japan's reaction to secession of its
delegates from the International Naval
Conference.
Premier Kesuke Okada declared:
"I do not believe a naval building race
is coming, but the people Of Japan
must be prepared to meet whatever
the future holds.
Whether we have naval limitation
treaties or not, Japan will respect the
principles of non-menace and non
aggression in the world unaltered."
On the other hand, the attitude Of
naval authorities was expressed typi-
cally by Vice Admiral Sankichi Taxa.
hashi, commander in chief OF the bat
tie fleet, in an interview given promi-
nence by the lesser vernaculars.
"If the Japanese Navy is called upon
to fight the combined power Of Amer
lea and Great Britain Vice Admiral
Takahashi said. II am confident we
will win. even If the ratio is 10 to /.
"If such o combat came tomorrnw,
this could be proved. The Japanese
people need not be afraid. - The
Washington treaty was nonsense.
Japan has its own ideas frmeth-
DDS of fighting and we can build what
warships we need without watching
other nations.
IF we are compelled to use the short
sword to combat a foe brandishing
the long sword, I still am sure we
have the skill. and spirit to win"
The vernacular newspapers said
Takahashi laughed frequently during
the interview.
Larger newspapers, including Asahi
and Nichi Nichi, did not publish the
vice admiral's remarks.
During the afternoon, Premier
Okada proceeded to the imperial pal-
ace and reported Japan's secession
from the conference to Emperor
Hirohito.
1t as understood the emperor asked
many questions as to future prospects.

Iwashita Of the japanese naval gen.
eral staff.
without the opposition Of the Japa-
nese, who insisted to the end on con.
sideration first Of their blocked de.
mands for full fleet equality, the dele
gates Of the other great powers had
the entire field Of naval limitation
from which to choose their next topic.
Proposals for q total tonnage agree
ment, announcement of building pro-
grams, humanization Of submarine
warfare and qualitative limitations,
involving restrictions In the sizes of
warships and the number and caliber
of guns carried all entered into the
search for q substitute for the expir-
ing Washington and London limita-
tions treaties.
Some hope prevailed in American
and British circles that the Japanese
might return to the conference and
that In any case their withdrawal
would not lead to any deterioration in
Their relations with the other nations
on other questions.
The continuation of the conference,
however, was regarded by informed
quarters as an anti-climax to the six
weeks of futile negotiations which
ended in solid opposition, at the cli-
matte session yesterday, to Japan,s
common upper limit proposals.
This equality plan, to replace the
5-5-3 capital ship tonnage ratio for
Britain, the United States and Japan,
was opposed individually but firmly
by both British and American dele
gates. on the grounds that it tended
to give Japan absolute control in the
Far East.
The French took the attitude that
Japans withdrawal had been newt
able from the start and now:
I'VE shall have to see what we can
do without them"
Press Criticizes Withdrawal.
A wide section of the British press
came forth with criticism Of Japan
for its withdrawal.
This action, the News Chronicle
said, ENDS the truce in the Pacific"
The Times, in a biting editorial,
asserted it could be explained 'only
by the dominating influence now ex-
ercised at Toxic by elements which
have neither knowledge nor a wish
to understand the world outside
Japan"
The Daily Telegraph, although in
a more moderate vein, joined the gen.
eral press attribution of the confer
ence deadlock to Japan, asserting
Japan steadily refused to admit q
bearing Of plain strategical facts
upon her demand for parity"
