UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Over Cuba Quieting Down With De Cespedes as President-Basic President-Basic Industries Slow With Codes Johnson Relies on the Women. By EDWARD W. PICKARD 1 President De Cespedes CUBA, recovering from Its spasm of revolution, began to settle back Into normal living under Its new provisional President, Carlos Manuel de cespedes. cespe-des.

Dr. De Cespedes Ces-pedes appointed his cabinet minis ters, most of them belonging to the ABU or the Nationalist party, and they were sworn In. The President Pres-ident himself took the post of sec retary of state. Castillo Pokorny was made minister of war and Col. Erasmo Delgado, leader of the mill tary coup that forced Machado to flee, was appointed military com mander of Havana. Machado, who fled to Nassau In the Buhamas by airplane, accompanied accom-panied by several of his closest friends, was reported to have taken with b!m several million dollars though be left behind even his cloth lng. Ills wife and other members of the family escaped the vengeance of the mobs by taking a gunboat yacht to Key West, Fla., whence they expected to go to New York and later to Parts. The ex-dictator said he probably would remain In Nassau and would not Interfere with developments In Cuba. No one would even Intimate that the Roosevelt administration fomented fo-mented the antl-Machado revolution, but the State department In Washington Wash-ington certainly knew In advance just about what was going to happen hap-pen In Cuba. It knew Machado would be ousted, and that he would be succeeded by De Cespedes. Ambassador Am-bassador Welles was In close touch wltb the revolutionaries and was apprised of their plans. Assistant Secretary of State CafTery was kept Informed and approved each step taken, and President Itoosevelt apparently ap-parently let him and Mr. Welles work out the problems themselves. The Cubans selected De Cespedes for the Presidency, but he received the 0. K. of official Washington before be-fore being named. The Islanders were not coerced In any way by the United States, however, and the three American warships that were sent to Havana and Manzanlllo were ent only to protect American lives and property. What part In the revolution was played by the National City Bank of New York and Electric Bond and Shares, which have heavy Interests In Cuba, has not been revealed. Both concerns bad formerly been considered supporters of Machado, but seemingly they did not lift a hand to save biro from destruction. Probably they will come out at the big end of the horn when the Island Is rehabilitated. This recovery, re-covery, Cuban business men feel, Is certain If the price of sugar can be raised a cent or a cent and a half a pound, which can be done If the United States tariff of two cents a pound Is reduced or abolished. Tbey believe, too, that Cuba would then become a good customer for American goods. Cuba's national debt, hugely Increased under Machado, Macha-do, also will have to be refunded, for the Interest and amortization payments now amount to $1,500,000 a month. President Roosevelt was so satis- fled with the state of affairs In Cuba that he went for a short motor trip In the Virginia mountains. Before leaving Washington he and President Presi-dent De Cespedes exchanged friendly friend-ly messages. Secretary of State Hull explained to the press that Cuba had really not had a change of government, lie said It was a mere change of personnel without any alteration In the structure or processes proc-esses of government Consequently, Consequent-ly, he said, the United States did not find It necessary to extend recognition recog-nition to President De Cespedes since he came In under the constitutional consti-tutional method of succession In Cuba. gaging In a stabilization operation.

William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, went Into a conference as a member mem-ber of the NRA labor advisory board and also on the Invitation of Secretary Secre-tary Perkins. But the steel leaders took one look at blm and walked out Green declared this act was "a challenge to the government," and continued: "The question Is whether steel Is to dictate to the government or whether the government Is going to set up machinery under the Industrial In-dustrial recovery act and require Industry In-dustry to work with that machinery. Shortly thereafter the labor ad visory board formally protested his exclusion. Johnson described It as "Miss Per kins party" and declined further discussion. dis-cussion. The labor secretary, who continued In conference with she steel leaders without Green, made no statement . Better progress was made with the oil and automobile codes. The former, It was believed, would pro vide for a measure of government supervision of prices. A group of Texas oil producers who challenged the constitutionality of the recovery act met defeat In the District of Columbia Supreme court Justice Joseph Cox denied the application for an Injunction against sections of the law permitting federal regulation regu-lation of oil production. f?IRST of the open disputes with 1 In the personnel of the recovery administration resulted In the res ignation of Prof. W. F. Ogburn as a member or the consumers' advisory advis-ory board. Ogburn, who Is an economist econo-mist from -the University Uni-versity of Chicago, was vexed because Mrs, Mary Harrl-man Harrl-man Rumsey, chairman chair-man of the board, appointed Mrs. Hugh S. Johnson, wife of the administrator, admin-istrator, chairman of the complaint committee, and declared the committee com-mittee was unable to fulfill Its functions. Ogburn told Johnson the consuming public was not being protected, and later he said that the expressed policy of the NRA of keeping purchasing power moving alongside of rising prices "will be blocked, I predict for want of adequate ade-quate Indexes. "The complaints (against violations viola-tions of codes by employers), I recommend, should be handled by a 'line' organization and not by an advisory board." Flying In an army plane to St Louis, Mr. Johnson made a stir ring appeal for support of the President's Pres-ident's re-employment program, as serting tts success depended upon co-operation of the people In each town, and.

Latest dispatches from Quito said soldiers were guarding the presidential palace; but It Is hard to say which way Latin-American soldiers will jump. UNCLE SAM'S war on criminals, especially kidnapers and racke teers, made progress In some regions, re-gions, notably In the capture In Texas of Harvey Bailey, escaped convict and leader of desperadoes who Is wanted for numerous crimes In the Middle West, Including the machine gun massacre last June at the Kansas City Union station. Bailey also Is charged with the recent re-cent kidnaping of C, F. UrscheL Oklahoma oil operator, and ten others oth-ers Implicated In that crime have been nabbed. The federal crusade, however, staged an awful flop near Chicago. Government agents, policemen and deputy sheriffs to the number of 250, equipped with airplanes, squad cars, machine guns and bombs, cornered cor-nered two kidnapers for whom they had laid a trap, chased them by land and air all over the western part of Cook county, and then bad to admit their quarry bad escaped. The kidnapers had been baited with promise of collecting a second $50,000 from Jake Factor. They are supposed to be members of the Roger Touhy gang, four of whom. including the leader, are govern ment prisoners under indictment for the kidnaping of William Hamm, Jr., wt-althy St Paul brewer. Chicago law authorities are doing better. The courts are manned by Judges who have given up their va cations, and every day sees a num ber of desperate criminals convict ed and sentenced to prison terms. The usual long delays granted to de fendants In such cases are being re fused by the Judges, and the un savory lot of lawyers who get rich defending known murderers and gangsters are rather dumfounded. r r D CSSIANS, Jews and interna ls tlonal Free Masons, are con coctlng a world plot against Ger many, according to Der Deutsche of Berlin, official organ of the Nazi "labor front" The paper cites, as proof that secret negotia tions are being car ried on, the simul taneous presence at the French resort of Royat of Bernard B a r u c h of New York, Andre Tar-dleu Tar-dleu of France, Leon Trotzky, Max im Lltvlnov, Rus- commlssar, and the Bernard Baruch Mrs. H. 8.

The Swiss, on the other hand, claim to have discovered a Nazi plot, one of their papers charging that Hitler's followers have launched a propaganda campaign for the annexation an-nexation of German Switzerland to Germany.
