tatorShip cannot stand freedom Of
the press. President Batista main
tanned a censorship last year, but
he was persuaded to lift it and
restore constitutional guarantees
on Jan. 81. In so doing he appears
to have sealed the fate of his die
tatorship. Now he has clamped
the lid back again and reimposed
censorhip of the press and radio,
but he cannot turn the clock back.
"His supporters are falling away.
The rebel opposition is growing in
the form of terrorism and counter
terrorism. Above all, the dramatic
resistance of Fidel Castro and his
youthful rebels in the Sierra Macs
ira at the eastern end of the island
is proving the n e m S of the
regime. 1t has long been obvious
that the struggle in Cuba eentered
around these two determined and
courageous antagonists-Fulgencio
Batista and Fidel Castro. The bat
tie seems to be approaching its

IkPA Denounces Cuban
Calls on
all Members to Protest.

WASHINGTON, March IA (UP)
The Inter American Press AS

establishment of censorship in
Cuba by General Batista'S govern
ment, and calls to its more than
800 newspapers of the Hemisphere,

degrading these channels that free

ton of the installation of censors,
accompanied by police, in their
newspaper offices.
Speaking in the name of IAPA,
O'Rourke said:
"a unanimous resolution adopted
at IAPA'S meeting in Washington
last October, declares the Batista's
government is not democratic as
it does not respect freedom of
press and doesn't make it respect,
either. On Jan. q due to the
American and journalistic pressure,
Batista lifted the press cersor-
ship.
"Now he has decreed censorship
and suspended constitutional qua
rantees again for As days. The
principal reason for the suspension
of guarantees is the fact that a
special judge condemned, without
bail, two of Batista's trusted Of
ficialS who were accused of tortur-
ing and killing prisoners in one
of the jails in Havana. The govern
ment took the Ease from judicial
hands to put it into the army's
care where it stands.
Censorship on radio and press
is strict and embraces all the news
papers and magazines, as well as
every message and mail.
"Censors were installed in the
newspapers and magazines, escort
ed by police.

and magazines properties in that
country are in danger. Proofs are

the government to maintain an
intense campaign of threat and diff
famation against people whose

IAPA. This campaign is similar to
others in the past which were
preceded by aggression and murder
of those threatened.
"TAPA denounces these mea-
sures and declares it will maintain

ton, and that Batista's government
will be held responsible for any
harm to any n of these newsra-
pers and its properties willfuly

DEFENSE OF REPUBLICAN INSTITUTIONS

Among the obligations a citizen cannot avoid is the
one TO defend the effectiveness of institutions which give
life to the Republic. This duty is above all political feel
ings, in that which concerns partisan activities, in which
each individual can participate in accordance with his
opinion or with his way of acting in the exercise of his
citizenship rights.
When it is obvious that republican institutions are
In serious danger, or have been victims of a serious blow.
each individual has the duty to do everything in his power
to help in saving the Republic, as far as this is possible
and circumstances permit. In any case, it must be taken
into consideration that this is a patriotic duty, without any
alternative, of any kind.
In order to have the citizens in adequate conditions
to discharge this duty, it is indispensable that in the con.
science OF society there is a well understood concept of
what the Institutions of the Republic really mean. 1t is
necessary that everyone knows the definition correspond
Ing to the Republic, so that it may be adequately under
stood and respected without the need of giving explana.
lions of high dOctrinary and philosophical sense which
may not be understood by everybody. With simple words,
the meaning of the republican system must be defined at
the school source of civic instruction as well as in the
press and all the organs available to give orientatiOn to the
community, so that it can be defended with more enthu-
siasm and decision by each and everyone of the citizens,
who Jointly constitute the reason for being of the Republic.

The House unanimously approved

The bill was approved after a

He said the money approved is
a reasonable investment, as it is
of a paramount Importance to pave
the road. This bill will aIlot
money for the pavement of the

The termination of the Pan

Unrest in Cuba
Causes Switch in
Race Destination

ST. PETERSBURG (UP) -
Political unrest in Cuba has caused
officials of the annual st. Peters
burg-to-H Havana yacht race to switch
the events destination this year to
Miami.
The race gets underway at noon
Saturday and the change in route
probably will reduce the starting
fleet from an expected 80 10 Is.
Race Chairman L. L. McMasters
cabled the head of the Havana
international Yacht Club Thursday:
Regret unusual conditions in Cuba
made our committee cancel race
to Havana and will look forward
to 1889"
The revised voyage is expected
to provide a sterner test for the
entrants. 1t is only 284 miles from
st. Petersburg to Havana, but 400
to Miami Most of the voyage pro-
badly will keep the boats in the
Gulf Stream.
The defending champion in the
St. Petersburg Havana race is the
Criollo, owned by DR.. Luis Vidana
of Havana. Whether the Criollo
and another Cuban yacht, the CT
clon, plan to participate this year
could not be learned.
Officials also expect that the
Cuban naval cruiser, the Cuba,
which arrived Wednesday, to escort
the fleet to Havana, probably will
return to Cuba and not participate.
The change in the race course
also cancels the annual H~avana-to-
Varadero Beach yatch race which
has followed the st. Petersbur-to-
Havana event each year.
McMasters said the suspension of
constitutional guarantees in Cuba
caused the race committee "cons-
iderable concern"
Many yacht owners recalled that
shots were fired across the bow
of one yacht when the fleet sailed
into Havana harbor in 1852, about
the time Fulgencio Batista seized
control of the government.
