CUBAS LABOR SUPPLY NEWSPAPER FINANCES There are many citizens who expect, to pay their butcher and their grocer every mont-h- , but they think that a newspaper subscription bill can be paid any old time. Some of them will let it run for ye.ars, if the publisher does not cut iii off.-- And if it is cut off, they get huffy, and declare they will never take the paper again. They feel indignant because doubt has been thrown upon their credit. They should reflect that the publisher gets no good out) of v hat he needs, to pay his help and settle his paper their credit. bills, etc., is cash, and nothing will take the place of the same. This irregularity of income is the curse of many newspapers would that be in a thriving position, if they could depend on the same payments that the dry goods man and the shoe store can look to. It takes) a lbt of time and effort to collect all these little bills. It usually costs more than the bill is worth, to collect an overdue subscription account. If those accounts could be promptly paid, the newspaper people could use the more regular income in creatining new features for their paper, adding to its usefulness and terest, and making it constantly a greater' credit" to the city of which it is the exponent.

The National Republiq continues: An excess of the national spirit has not led this nation fnto any one of the wars in which it has been engaged, although the lack it hag more than once brought about a degree of military and r.avai unprepareaness which has invited attack and endangered the country when war has been forced upon us. There is no reason to believe that outside influences will be permitted to carry on political propaganda in the schools of any country other than the United States, so that this highly financed internationalist program, in the opinion of many, will only mean an effort to denationalize the United- - States. Who is willing to contribute ten million dollars to use the schools of America as a means of denationalization, and vby? How is this money to be spent? Not in the purchase of text books, not in the employment of teachers or in meeting any of the other ordinary expenses of .operating the schools.' Is it the idea to influence the preparation of text books? Already some history text books are in use in the schools in which the achievements of American patriots in behalf of their country Eire minimized and the idea is held forth'that'the loyalty of the citizen is due toi the world Is it the idea to in general rather than first to his own country. of themselves? the teachers influence the attitude Already they are Is love of country a the targets of many denationalizing influences.

This suggestion of the expenditure of ten million dollars to make the schools agencies of what is called internationalism" under the utterly untenable theory that such internationalism means peace, is significant of the magnitude of the movement to break down American nationalism.

SALINA F S A L query: fifty-seve- Editor, and Publishet Cuban sugar companies are again importing cheap black labor on a large scald to harvest their crops. They are doing this under st.ccidl authorisation by the president of Cfiba. This is not because there is no labor available in Cuba but because the Cubans will not work for the wages offered by the sugar companies. Consequently the latter get permission, from the government .to bring in the lowest grade blacks from layti, Jamaica and other West Indian islands and are importing1 these by the thousands. This is not the labor referred to when the Cuban interests are trying .to bring about a reduction in the import duty charged by' the United Stated and produce figures to show the advance ir Cuban lbor costs, but it is the labor that American cane and beel grqwers would have to compete agaipst. if the tariff was removed Many of the black laborers imported into Cuba come from British possessions and a codple of years ago an acute situatioi arose between the British and Cuban governments because ol claims .that these blacks were mistreated, defrauded and left stranded in Cuba after the cane harvesting season ended. The Cuban government now requires the companies to bind themselves to return the imported laborers to. their own countries after their employment is finished. Not only do the imported blacks work for less than the native Cubans but they are easier to handle and are satisfied with inferior housing accommodations. . In an official report received in Washington, February 2, from the American vice consul at Matanzas, Cuba, it is stated: "The chief difficulty experienced by the mills is the shortage of labor for cutting the cane. The native labor is here in sufficient quantities, but there is much discontent and unwillingness to work at the present wage. However, no serious labor disturbances are apparent at this time." Under date of February 3, R. M. Connell, American trade commissioner at Havana, reported: "The president of Cuba has authorized many sugar companies to import labor from neighboring islands for the harvest, with the obligation to ship them back as soon as the cutting is over. With a complacent government permitting them to' import these scantily clad blacks of the tropics in order to keep wages down it is small wonder the Cuban companies are showing excel lent profits. All the Cubans are demanding now is that the United States do away with the tariff on imported sugar. Then with their cheap black labor they could flood the American market with sugar at prices which would soon put the domestic industry out of business and enable them to reap vastly greater profits. On this subject the president of the Cuba Cane corporation recently told his stockholders that if the American tariff were removed their profits would be $I4,000,00G' greater. This Cuban company was one of those which applied to the United States tariff commission for reduction or removal of the tariff, and oddly enough found a great deal of comfort and support in the congress of the United States. This is largely because the average e'ongressman does not understand the situation. The American farmer would understand it speedily enough, however, if the Cubans had been successful in their raid on the tariff. President Coolidge had the vision to see through the scheme and the courage to stop it.
