Cuba Runs
THIIERE is nothing surprising
It was predicted in diplomatic- circles six months ago. The
wonder is not that President Maehndo had to leave in such
precipitate haste, but that he was able to tarry so long.
In fact had it not been for Uncle Sam's protectorate, and
the consequent restraint placed
the present government would have been toppled over long ago.
Machada was a tyrant. Ho held his power through force
and terrorism, backed up by a secret police, copied after the
Russian checlta, but even more cruel and ruthless. For years
the masses have been seething, and but for the American influ
ence, there would have been a successful revolution long ago.
But Machado had his backers in America, particularly
among the big sugar interests. He was ia method and tem
perament another "Weylcr"; but these interests didn't mind
what his methods were, if he could maintain stable government.
When the army turned against him however, MachartVs
goose was cooked. Wild disorders followed, there was rioting
and bloodshed, the chief of the secret police was put on the
spot, along with many of his followers, while the president,
presumably with plenty of gold on his person, hopped in an
airplane, and flew to safety.
With the inauguration of a new president probably Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, order will undoubtedly be restored soon
and peace once more reign.
ONE should not take revolutions south of the Florida keys
TOO seriously. We doubt if there was much more popular
demand for a change in government in Cuba than there was in
the United States, nine months ago.
But the Iratins take their politics more seriwiHly and more
violently than Americans. Instead of deposing an unpopular
chief executive by the ballot box, they prefer bombs, shots from
ambush and firing squads. In short they simply must have
their revolutions, at election time, just ns they must have their
bull fights on Sunday.
The difference really isn't as profound, as people of super
ficial judgment suppose. It is almost entirely temperamental.
.Business Precedes Politics
COMMENTING on Senator Pittmnn's disgust with the Mon
roe doctrine our valued contemporary tho Portland Ore
gonian, opines, that while the Monroe doctrine as established is
out of date, it still lias validity in an economic sense .
The Monroe doctrine, it maintains, will be utilized in econo
mic relations south of the Carribean, but not in political rela
tions. In other words Uncle Sam will take a vital interest in
BUSINESS in South and Central
"PIUS strikes us as somewhat naive. As a general principle,
' whether the country in question is south, north, east, or
west the only interest the'Amcrican government has in it, politi
cally, has an ECONOMIC basis. Pick out those countries, with
which the United States has no important business relations,
and you will have a list of the countries in which it has no
genuine political interest. .
In the last analysis all international relations are based upon
business. And as long hs there is a business interest, there must
be a politicnl interest. .
If the Monroe doctrine is going to be important in business
relations with South America, it can't avoid being important
politically as well. Business and politics can no more be sep
arated than votes and politicians.
Whether or not the constitution follows the flag, interna
tional policies and politics certainly follow and are deter
mined by trade.
Masters of Our Fate
A S WE look back over the spectacular history of the past
six months, nothing, it seems to me, is so impressive or so
deeply reassuring as the evidence .we have had that there are
indeed great reserves of political wisdom in a nation habituated
to self-government. The knowledge to do this or that particular
thing may be lacking. But what we do know is that in the
spring we overcame the paralysis of government in Washington,
and were able to achieve unity of action. We do know that
we were able to sweep aside the obstructions of organized minor
ities and the influences of private powers. We do know that
we have seen new energies, new faces, young men, enterprising
and hopeful minds in the responsible .posts. We do know that
the national spirit has been revived, that frightened calculation
is giving way to confidence and courage, our self-respect, our
faith in the power of mind and will to determine our fate. While
this lasts there can be no doubt as to tho outcome. We shall
not be destroyed by mistakes. We shall not be saved by bright
ideas. We can be destroyed only by our own resolution. As
long as the spirit of the nation is as coherent and as temperate,
as confident and as magnanimous as it is today, there is no
danger. Decisions can be made, and if they aro wrong they can
be reversed. Plans can be adopted, and when they don't work
they can be changed.
For recovery is not a fitting together of cogs in a broken
down machine) it ia a renascence in tho energy and character
of a people, even to magnanimity Men no longer feel, as they
did some months ago, that our society is doomed and that they
are impotent, that they are caught in a current of forces which
carries them irresistibly along.
rpiIUS, although the statistics-do not show that we have re-
covered irosperity, though millions are still without the
decencies of life wo have recovered our spirit. For whatever
the right or the wrong of this or that, in a nation as among
individuals, when their spirit is strong they are invincible to
circumstance and masters of their fate. Walter Lippman, in
Oregon Journal.

What a desperate plight ours would
be If our parasites were endowed with
half the wisdom of the ant or tbe
sagacity of the rat.
A parasite is a plant or animal liv
ing In or on another plant or ani
mal called the host. There are many
species of such unbidden guests that
obtain food, shelter or other advan
tage at the expense of the human
host.
Contrary to popular belief, most ot
the parasites which abide in the ali
mentary canal are quite harmless or
at worst cause only trivial disturb
ance of health. Only a few human
parasites, and these are comparatively
rare, aerlously damage the health of
the host. '

MONTREAL. (UP) Reports that
a nest of pure white swallows has

here.
Miss Ednia S. Wilson of Danville,
who made the discovery, declares that
the nest of pure white swallows has
been raised by ordinary barn swal
lows. There are three fully grown birds
now," she says. ,
H. Mousley, bird expert at McOill
university, points out that , while
white swallows are not unknown. It
la phenomenal that the entire brood
of two swallows apparently normal
should be albinos.
'The finding of a nest of white
swallows," he said, "is extremely im

fMnw up the matter immediately."
If It Is true that the entire brood
are pure albinos and that the parent
birds are normally pigmented, the
finding, it Is pointed out, will cause
heated discussion among savants in
the field of heredity, for such a dis
covery seemingly transgresses the
known laws of heredity.
