News Review of Current Events the World Over Grau San Martin Tries to Establish Government for Cuba— Four More States for Prohibition Repeal— Blue Eagle Notes. By E D W A R D W . P IC K A R D IT T IN G precariously on the edgs S of the Cuban Presidential chair to which he had been hotated by the radical Junta. Ramon Graa San Mar tin endeavored ear nestly to maintain hla balance and to estab lish a government so solid that It would be given recognition by the United States. On all sides he was beset with difficulties and threats. In the big National hotel were the deposed army and navy officers, heavily Ramon Qrau armed and supported San Martin by the more conserv- tlve factions that favored the return to power of De Cespedes whom the radicals had shoved out. In the har bor of Havana and elsewhere about the Island were American warships, em bodying the possibility of armed Inter vention by Uncle Sam If conditions be came too chaotic. In the capital city and other centers new political and revolutionary factions formed nightly, and various strikes complicated the situation. Money, food and gasoline for the troops that were supporting Grau San M artin were running low, and merchants were refusing credit. Nevertheless, the President, who Is a more forceful figure than De Cespe des, carried on bravely and proceeded to select a cabinet Posing and speak ing for the talkies, he declared: “At last Cuba Is again free among civi lized nations of the world. Cuba now has a stable government all that we need for prosperity, and we hope that prosperity will come quickly." The ousted military officers, who had taken entire possession of the National hotel and were beleaguered there by the radical soldiers, sent Col. Horatio Ferrer, secretary of war and navy un der De Cespedes, to the Presidential palace to demand the Immediate resig nation of Grau San Martin, but he met with no success. Meanwhile the entire staff of the hotel left and the officers were forced to run the place themselves. Ambassador Welles, who had resided In the hotel, also departed. ASHINGTON, of course, was watching the developments In Cuba with deep Interest, not to say anxiety, but President Roosevelt was determined to avoid Intervention If possible. Through Secretary of State H ull he Indicated that he would fol low a line of strict neutrality among the island's factions and would permit Cuba to solve her own political prob lems. Mr. H u ll’s formal statement was: “The government of the United States has no interest in behalf of or prejudice against any political group or independent organization which Is today active In the political life of Cuba." Former President Mario G. Menocal. who returned to Cuba after the ousting of Machado, entered Into the picture when the military officers Invited him to lead their effort to force Grau San M artin out of the Presidency. W OR several days Spain was with F out a cabinet, following the oust ing of the pro-Sociall8t government of Premier Manuel Azana, and the situ ation w a s critical. However, P re s id e n t ZamSra called In Ale jandro Lerroux, vet- er, and charged him i to form a coalition cabinet based solely on the Radical party and the Independent republicans. This Ler- r o u x accomplished with some difficulty, Alejandro persuading all the mi Lerroux nority r e p u b l i c a n groups to support him, although two of their leaders, Salvador de Madariaga and Felipe Sanchez Roman, had re fused to sign up. Lerroux selected a cabinet that was approved by Presi dent Zamora. O f its thirteen mem bers, six are members of the Radical party, which Is really the most con servative party In the country, so the government has taken a decided turn to the rig h t Lerroux and his govern ment may have considerable difficulty in the cortes, for the Socialist left and the monarchist right will be Strong In opposition. One thing the Spanish government has to cope with Is the great crime wave that Is sweeping over the coun try. Murders, bombings and Incendiary fires have been frequent and the police and civil guards so far have been un able to check the outrage«. Many of the erimee are attributed to Commu nists. IR A Q was In deep mourning for King a Felsal, who died suddenly in Berne, -Switserland. His son, Ghasl, twenty* one years old, was declared bis suc cessor and took the oath of office at Basrah. Ha retained his father's cab inet and was expected to follow FeL sal’s policies. EACE for ten years between Greece C'OUR more states fell Into line for repeal of the Eighteenth amend ment, making twenty-nine that so far have voted, with none In opposition. Only seven more are needed for the ratification of the amendment, and now not even the most confirmed pro hibitionists believe the wet wave can be pushed back. It Is a moral certain ty that repeal will be accomplished be fore Christmas. Maine, stronghold of prohibition since 1851, proved her change of heart by voting more than 2 to 1 for repeal. The wets carried every county and their 80 delegates will take formal action in convention on December 6. Then, all in one day. came Maryland, nearly 5 to 1 for repeal; Minnesota, where the wets outnumbered the drys more than 2 to 1; and Colorado, where the repealists won by nearly 3 to L FORK city staged a huge NRA x ’ parade, and as a preliminary Ad ministrator Hugh Johnson, addressing a mass meeting. Informed the nation that 85 per cent of the employers In the United States were already en rolled under the blue eagle. He at tacked critics of the NRA. which he declared was “not an attempt at regi mentation of Industry, but a charter of freedom." and asserted the country had been lifted “about one-quarter of the way out of the Inky blackness of last March." While General Johnson was strug gling In Washington to formulate a code that would be accepted by the soft coal Interests. President Roosevelt was endeavoring. In a conference with the heads of each of the recovery units, to push ahead three of the major parts of his program— expansion of credit. Insurance of bank deposits and control of the oil Industry. Aid for the small business man. who still Is having trouble with his credit arrangements now Is the central ques tion in the government’s credit prob lem. according to Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, who attended the conference. Large Industries are finding accommodations, he said. Banks In small towns must he con vinced that loans are now feasible, ac cording to Mr. Jones. They are still hanging back and not helping the merchants and Industries In their com munities, Mr. Jones said. Mr. Jones repeated his threat that the government plans to take over functions of hanks through the me dium of mortgage corporations, formed among industries for the dis counting of paper with the R. F. C. This device, he said, would clear up the remaining credit difficulties In the road of the recovery drive. Secretary Iekes. after his conference with the President, said that the price fixing provisions would remain In the oil code, but that he would not at tempt to regulate prices until such a step became necessary. In another conference, plans to col lect a billion dollars In back taxes due the federal government were laid be fore President ’Roosevelt by Guy T. Helvering, commissioner of Internal revenue. Of the total due, $750,WO,MO is tied up In litigation which the government is seeking to speed. Helvering ex plained. because tax payers are seek ing to have It refunded to them. An other $250,0M,0M has not been paid In. Assured by the President of a suf ficient fund to carry on the work, Hel vering said he hoped to round up $300,0M.0M in the near future with out great difficulty. No prosecutions are being planned at present of recognition of the Soviet Russian government by the United States are much encouraged the appointment of John Van A. Mac- Murray as minister to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. They be lieve this Is a step t o w a r d recognition and that Mr. MacMur- ray will be our am bassador at Moscow before very long. He is a college professor specialist* In Russian affairs and history and recently returned John Van A. from a trip through M acM urray Russia. In every re spect Mr. MacMurray Is qualified to represent the United States abroad, A dvo cates P and Turkey Is assured by the pact which was signed at Ankara by Pre miers Taaladrla and lamet Pasha. The pact guarantees reciprocal fron tier security against aggression, a com mon understanding before deciding on domestic and International questions and mutual representation at interna tional conferences. HANCELLOR H IT L E R and his Nazis have compelled Prof. Al bert Einstein to revise In part hla long held pacifist attitude. Hla altered views appeared In a letter to a Belgian an ti-m ilitarist who ap pealed to him to help two Belgian consci entious objectors to military service who had started a hunger strike. “You will be very astonished at what I am goln„ to tell you." Professor R I n s t e I u wrote. “Only a short ago we could hope to fight militarism In Europe successfully by Individual refusals to do service. But today we are In the presence of al together different circumstance«. There Is In the center of Europe a state (Germany) which Is publicly preparing for war by all means. “In these conditions the Latin coun tries, above all France and Belgium, are In great danger and can only count on tbetr preparedness. “As far a * Belgium Is concerned It Is obvious that this little country will not make abusive u m of Its prepara tion and that It has the greatest need to safeguard Its existence. “Imagine Belgium occupied by pres- ent-day Germany! It would undoubt edly be worse than In 1914, even though occupation at that time was terrible. That Is why I am telling you in the most direct fashion that If I were a Belgian I would not re fuse to do military service under the present circumstances, but on the con trary I,w o u ld accept It In fun con science with the feeling that I was contributing to save European civili zation." At that time Einateln was In Brus sels, but It was reported a Nazi organ ization had put him on Its death list, so he fled to England and hid In a cabin on the east coast provided for him by Commander Oliver Locker- Lampson.

Carrying heavy packs, the two men fought their way slowly to- j ward the line of the Ontario Hydroelectric company.
