Habana, julio 9.-Desde un
punto de vista politico, la Repd-
blica de Cuba Sc encuentra en-
un nuevo lugar de partida de su
historic. Durante 800 amos la
"Perla de las Antillas" fue una
possession colonial de Espana.
Durante tres decadas fue par
cialmente independence bajo la
scberania limi ada que lie impu-
sierra la enmienda Plat. Duran
tie tres amos, despues de la caida
de la dictadura de Machado, ha
pasado por una succession de go
biefnos provisionales, con lu-
chas internas y la brutal repre-
sion de la dictadura de un ejer-
cito.
Ahora que la isla tiene COM
pleta soberania, por medic de la
abrogaci6n de la enmienda Platt
v que ell regimen militar ha sido
sustituido por uno constitucio-
nal, Sc plantea la question de 81
los cubanos sc mostraran dig
nos del gobierno propio.
A la isla RepIblica que tiene
ahora en- sus manos su destino
politico, corresponds decidir de
su future.
En- la Habana algunos Sc
muestran o~ptimistas, algunos
p~esimistas, pero todos esperan-
zados. Practicamente TODD el
mundo tiene fe en- Ell presidente
Gomez como un hombre hAbil,
consciente, trabajador, que de-
sea ell retorno de las normales
condolences politicas.
Ell mayor de todos los profile
mas es ell del ejercito. En- la SUI
perficie ell militar ha sido rele-
gado a su verdadera posicion
como una rama ejecutiva del
gobierno. Sc ha dejado asesi-
mar, torturar y encarcelar a los
oponentes del gObierno desde
que ell presidente Gomez tom6
possession, ell 20 de mayo. Aparen
temente ell coronel Fulgencio
Batista, jefe del ejercito, no Sc
mezcla en- las funciones de las
autoridades civiles. FL congre-
so debate y aprueba leyes; las
libertades han sido reStableci-
das; pero nadie llamaria verda-
deramente constitutional al nue.
vo gobierno.
Pudiera llamarse un gobierno
constitutional en- tres de sus
cuatro parties, algo asi como una
TRANSACTION de un gObierno mill
tar a uno constitutional. La otra
parte restante pertenece al ejer
cito, reconocido en- todos los la
dos como ell factor potential,
mandad bajo la superficie y al
gunas veces abiertamente.
Evidentemente no habra re-
torno al gobierno constitucio-
nal hasta que ell ejercito que&e
subordinate al poder civil.
Pero ell 1nico canine para
que ell ejercito vuelva 3 su pro-
pic lugaT, esNrestablecer a go

 Ne1u Earn, Legislation
 
 Creation of two Presidential com mittees to formulate new farm leg islation followed the lines previous- ly dedicated by the Administrations study of the drought situation. Def mite commitment to, the principle of crop insurance was new, but it sur prised no one who had known ot the leanings of Secretary Wallace toward such step. 1t is a nation al development of the Secretarys long, advocated 'ever-normal gran ary' policy.
 Congressional consideration of some form of crop insurance and of further soil conservation legis- lation now seems strong liklihood, whatever the result of the election, but 1t will be months before present proposals are translated into actual ity. These proposals first must be put into detailed lorna process which involves many complications. Then it will be for the new Congress to consider after the first of the new year what further it should do for agriculture. Once opened up, that subject may easily develop pro- longed dispute.
 In Waiting Stage
 Thus even the agricultural pol icy, which has been especially in the forefront during the summer, is now left in a waiting stage. There will be much more talk about it, particularly on the stump, but for the present actual governmental activity is confined to the groove already well established.
 Only in the foreign field does there appear a possibility that the more placid tenor of Washington affairs may be disturbed. To the chronic troubles of Europe hase been added a further Japanese threat in North China. Officials will speak for pub-

If you know how-and will-you
can hold off age indefinitely.
Don't allow yourself to annex a
dowager's cushion at the back of
your neck, or let your chinline get
away from you. Retain your youth
with exercises that will keep these
muscles toned and young.
Here is an exercise that encour-
ages a lovely line at the neck and
chin:
Stand straight and tall and,
without moving your body, thrust
out the jaw, keeping your mouth
closed. Do not let the head poke
forward. Then, revolve the head
slowly and forcefully five times.
Again, five times, in the other
direction. While making these
revolutions, feel that your neck
and throat muscles are getting
their share of the exercise. They
should be tense and full.
Muscles respond miraculouSly
to a little attention. Fail to use
them and they wither or lose them
selves in fat. Here, however, is an

It is human nature, I think, to
keep those memories which are
happy, and to forget those which
are sad. Time, too, has a way
Of placing memories in proper
perspective, mellowing the more
poignant, clarifying the happy
ones. Looking back, I can truth
fully say all of my memories
have been happy, because I have
always done the things I have
wanted to do.
The bumps, the frustrated am
bitions, the disappointments, have
proved to be for the best. I
have no memory I would care to
obliterate, no experience from
which, I have not gained some
thing. If had it to do all over
again, I should follow the same
course, and never miss a trick!

memories of my birthplace,

over the management of

central part Of the State. Here

believe that is the theater.
First in my mothers arms,
later wide-eyed, standing in the
wings, watching the perform
anceS, to me a world of magic
lights, color, music and dancing.
I think my first steps must have
been in grotesque imitation Of
the dancers, an unconscious at
tempt at rhythm. Music and
dancing have always run through
me, like a spark of electricity,
giving me vitality and an urge
for self-expreSSion.

do not know the exact mo-
ment I determined to become q

a determination, but rather a
knowledge that some day l
would be a dancer, moving grace
