fund charges.

passed the amendment providing for
this, but the Cubans are confident tha
this legislation will, go through early
next year, and as soon as that is done
the money is ours. We have been as
sured by many bankers that the min
ute this amendment is passed" they will
get the required $35,000,000 for us.

growing fast. During one month recent
iy they 'netted $274,000, or. at the rate
of $3,300,000 a year.,, The,'nyterest on

This is all the expense we would be un
der for the first Six years of the loan.
We are well satisfied with our visit
and regard our mission as practically
