By EDWARD W. PICKARD v i'' i Gerardo Machado GERARDO MACHADO. president ' of Cuba, appeared to be reaching reach-ing the end of his rope, but was stubbornly defiant of his opponents and flatly rejected the plan that was offered by United States Ambassador Ambassa-dor Sumner Welles for settlement of the Island's political politi-cal turmoil. Mr. Welles told Machado Macha-do that he should ask congress for a leave of absence after appointing an acceptable man for the position of sec retary of Btate; that secretary, according ac-cording to the Cuban constitution, would succeed to the presidency in event that nice became vacant. Lie would then select a cabinet representative repre-sentative of all political factions, constitutional reforms would.be submitted sub-mitted to congress and later to a constitutional convention; and the vice presidential office would be tilled by either the congress or the supreme su-preme court. To this proposition 'resident Machado Ma-chado replied: "1 am and will continue to be the president of the Republic of Cuba, exercising all of my constitutional prerogatives. Of these I cannot re linquish the smallest part without becoming a traitor to the confidence reposed In me by the people of Cuba when they freely gave their votes to me, or without diminishing the independence and sovereignty of a republic that 1 assisted In founding, having fought in the war for Independence." Inde-pendence." The Cuban congress supported Machado In bis determination to retain re-tain his office, and . the mediation efforts of Ambassador Welles were denounced as detrimental to the gov-erelgnty gov-erelgnty of the republic. To those who know conditions on the Island this la not surprising. The basis of Mnchndo's power Is the state lottery. He controls this Institution and by his favor many leading congressmen are able to realize large sums from the sale of lottery tickets. What the people think of Machado Macha-do was plainly indicated by the events just preceding the crisis de-Scribed. de-Scribed. It was reported in Havana tlint the president had resigned and immediately a great throng began demonstrating Joyfully. But the police po-lice and troops attacked viciously, killing some and wounding mnny. and the marchers fled In dismay. Martial law was declared and the city was patroled, but acts of violence vio-lence were frequent. For several days the city had been tied up by a general transportation strike that Involved many industries. The government announced It had granted the demands of the laborers, labor-ers, but the union men refused to return to work while constitutional guaranties of freedom remained suspended sus-pended Cuban politicians thought Ma-chado'a Ma-chado'a rejection of Welles pence plan would lead to intervention by the United States, but In Washington Washing-ton this was considered quite an-likely, an-likely, To send our marines to the Islands would he contrary to President Presi-dent Roosevelt's declared policy, and would stultify the position he took concerning the Japanese In Manchuria. Mr. Welles declared that mediation media-tion was not ended, and Machado In his statement said: "I am disposed to mediate with my political adversaries adver-saries and to concede to them their Just demands to any extent that will not diminish the authority or the prestige of the Institutions of the republic or the head of the state." SECRETARY OP STATE COR-DELL COR-DELL HULL, back from the London conference. Is again In his offices at the State department, and has lost none of his r.mmm , .,- internationalism.

Explaining why the economic con ference did not achieve the full measure of success that bad been hoped for, Hull said the various na tlons found that their economic problems and the problem of co operation were much more difficult than had been Imagined. Neverthe-. less, he was unwilling to consider the London gathering of 60 nations a failure. FRENCH fears of another war with Germany were sharply stimulated stim-ulated by the abrupt refusal of the tlltler government to consider the parallel requests made by Great Britain and France that Nazi propaganda propa-ganda In Austria be discontinued. The two protesting nations declared de-clared the course Germany was pursuing pur-suing was In violation of the spirit of the four power pence pact recently re-cently signed; but their ambassadors ambassa-dors were told by the German foreign office that the Berlin government gov-ernment failed to see any reason for application of the four power treaty In this Instance, and that Germany regarded as inadmissible this Inter ference In the German-Austrian trouble. Italy had declined to join Britain and France In their protest, but did make friendly representations to Berlin concerning the Nazi aerial propaganda over Austrian territory. The Italian government was Informally In-formally advised ; that Germany would take steps Immediately to end this practice. This eased the situation sit-uation considerably, but French statesmen were pessimistic and believed be-lieved the whole affair would lead to the smashup of the disarmament conference when It reassembles In the fall. V Senator Wagner Scy Hull was ready and raising prices and reducing unemployment unemploy-ment are but the prelude to such cooperation. co-operation. Mr. Hull also announced that the United States willing to promote close trade and commercial relations with the countries coun-tries of Latin America, and suggested suggest-ed the negotiations of specific commercial com-mercial agreements. In advancing M-Iatoral trade agreements under the most favored cation principle. Hull explained that such agreneiits would relate primarily pri-marily to commodities of a noncompetitive noncom-petitive nature. He explained that reciprocal trade agreements would not necessarily conflict with most favored cation treaties, because such free clients would be thrown open to signature by other cations which.

Their efforts were ably seconded sec-onded by Edward F. McGrady, the NRA labor representative In the controversy. At first many of the workers were Inclined not to obey the order of the union chiefs to return re-turn to the mines, but when Mr. McGrady arrived at Unlontown by plane and told the men : "I am acting act-ing for the President of the United States and asking you to go back to work," they cheered him, picked up their lamps and got back to the pits.
