Cuba Points With Pride to
Accomplishments in Var
r ious Departments During
: a ear 111222.
(Hy The Associated Pruss)
HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 27. Cuba
noodert no holiday iiiossukv from prra
idint Airrodo ZuyaH to prompt It to
point with pride to tho nation's ao
oompliHhmonts in J '.(22. and view with
rosey hope ita planH for 1!I23. It is ex
plained at the presidential palace In
accounting for the chief executive's
failure- to Issue the customary docu
ment. The facts speak for themselves.
it Is declared In official quurlers. and'
the facts, as act forth under the head
of 11(22 accomplishments, follow:
. 1 Kudgct reduction in round numbers
from $i:i2.ii(((i.oou.oo to isjjKto.uOfi.nn
accompanied by administrative re
forms. Orderly partial elections on Nov. 1..
although the official returns have not
yet been made public. j
.Reformation of the National Lot-!
tcry involving the disappearance of
f Mi.noo.noo u yonr in illegal collections.
J'rosress in the following directions:
HcNtnnition of normal financial condi
tions through the authorization of a
jr,n.iHMt,MMi foreign loan; classification
or nearly f 7Miuii,ufHi in unpaid cur
rent Imlchte.ilncsg; . liquidation . of th.
is parent and 300 branch banks
which closed as a result of the 1J20
crack; tariff revision bankihtr legis
lation; electoral ami judicial code re
forms: revision of the reciprocity trea
ty with the rmted States; Taxation re
forms. Hopes for a Happy New Year arc
based, more or loss, on what Is expect
ed to result from the accomplishments
of 1U22 and from the successful, eon
BUination of tusks well Iickiiii, hut still
incomplete. :',, r
The economies already Implanted,
the new taxation as yet unproductive,
and the settling of old obligations with
the receipt . of the proceeds of the
$50,01111,0011 loan after Jan. 12. are con
fidently expected to restore prosperity.
Prospects for a 4,0uo,ono-lon sutfar
crop at a prion not Tar from 4 cents a
pound nre not listed as exactly "bear
ish." Supplementary to the hoped-for re-,
suits from j 22 accomplishments, ,
achievements are believed to be
potential fruits of a preferttfitlal leg
islative program unofficially approved i
recently tit a meeting of a majority; of I
tin mrmtc. 'This IncludeWthe MimiW-
tlon or f'hinese. Jamaican nnd Haitian
' 'immlghlllon; lvfonn of the federal ao
- countlng system: a new hanking code.
Involving the creation of a bank of
'rftilsslon anil a' fVdornl reserve 'system:
reform of the electoral code and the
organic judiciary law; constitutional
reforms, to make possible the creation
of a fediTiil district, including Ha
vana, and electoral and judicial re
forms. The need- of banking legislation
loonwJlafgest in official arid: business
circles. The Vreckagc of tu, old. sys
tem in rapidly, beinKi aiyaged, and
whvn.ij, is accomplished not much de
lay., is, , anticipated in complying with
the president's requests for a centra?!
bank of emission to act as tire gover
ment's fiscal agent, and an adequate
reserve system.
The bank that congress Is confiden
tially expected to create will be a fu
sion of various Cuban projects, notalv
ly the Torrlentc plan, with suggestions
made by V. I. G. Harding, former
governor of the American federal re-
serve system, after a six-weeks mis-1
slon to Cuba. The defunct Banco Na-
clonal will be revived hy the infection
of f4.ouo.iioo In real cash and $!.,
non.tioo in securities which the gov
ernment took from the institution to'
Hfcure its dipOMitx. Half of the 4.-1
oho. too w in ho subscribed in Cuba, 1
hall In the I'nited States. The
000,000 will havti no voting power.
but each of the- $2,oi)oto0 hIH elect
directors who. In turn, will choose the
governor of the new bank nnd the re
serve system. In case of a deadlock;
the American federal reserve will pro
pose two can dt dates, from whom the
Cuban governor must be selected.
In Its review nnd forecast official
dom is discretely, but not unintention
ally, quiet un the part that Mujor
General K. H. Crowder, special Am
erican emissary to Cuba, has played
nnd will play in the course of events.
Nor is any great emphasis placed on
the results, thus far negligible, of the
judicial investigations, indictments and
churges made in connection with al
leged frauds in the former, manage
ment of the affairs of the national
lottery, and of the internal revenue,
public works, communications, . and
treasury departments.
Politically the burning question is
whether or not President Alfredo Zuy-
us and former president General Mario
(. Menocal will seek re-elcctlon in
l!)24, and what are the chances of
other potential candidates, such as
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes. secretary
of slate and rormer minister to Wash
ington, and General Carlos Mendietn j
and Gerurdo Machudo, Liberals. i

vlch reporloil to Polico Chief McAl
lister tbut Popovicb had threatened
to shoof him and would be found
with a g" l possession.
Chief McAllister repaired to th?
rendezvous for tbo encounter and
"covered" Popovich when th hitter
appeared. " Popovich was so infuri
ated at this denouement that lie re
fused to give up his weapon, and Mc
Allister wns compelled, at the risk
of hls'own life, to bent the man over
the head before he could disarm
him.
Tho foregoing is (he kIhI of n story
told Justice of thn Pcuco Newman,
when tho two principals were arraign
ed on charges, of carrying concealed
weapons, disturbing the peace and
threatening to kill.
Hojonovich's alleged fraineup de
veloped quitch a "kick-back" when
Justice Newman fined him $50 and
sentenced him to serve 10 days in
tho county Jail. Apparently believ
ing, that Popovich was more sinned
against than: sinning, the court im
posed a' fin' of $50 ii nd let him go.
