He wus apprehensive, llie said, that the Culmn people would Jump to the conclusion that Intervention was contemplated. Aetlug Secretary of Slate Ihivls Informed the minister that the purpose of the president In dispatching tenoral Crowder to Cuba was amply set forth In the White House statement, and sought to Impress him with the .necessity of the Culmn government taking effective steps to remedy the existing chaotic situation. The trouble In Cuba may be set forth under three heads: Economic, signified by the shutdown of sugar cane mills and general Stagnation of Industry. . Financial, caused by excessive sugar crop speculation, resulting lu the Insolvency of numerous banks and the establishment of a moratorium by the government. Political, emanating from failure to determine who has been elected president, charges of election fraud clouding the result. Culm appears to be suffering from a sugar spree and the morning after.

By Senator Walsh of Montnnu, r questing the president to name delegates to act with the league of nations commission on disarmament. source From one administration comes tlie opinion, that the president sustains Secretary Daniels' contention that the only sure method of promoting disarmament is through the league of nutlons and that Mr. Wilson regards the Borah resolution as a scheme to discredit of the lrreconcilables future processes of action. It Is believed that the president favors the Walsh resolution, for he notified the lengue he could not appoint members of the disarmament commission on account of lack of authority occasioned by the failure of the United States to accept the covenant. The Walsh resolution, however, stands no sIionv of receiving favorable action by the committee. Senator Borah Is confident that Ids resolution will be ruorted favorably, although there is a disposition oil the part of some Republican senators to withhold action on the measure until the Harding administration comes In and the new president enunciates his foreign policy.
