A-—-16 NATIONALIST VIEW OF CUBA OUTLINED Harmony Impossible Under Machado, Anti-Regime Leader Says. Views of the chief Cuban faction op- posed to.the regime of President Macha- do are given by Carlos Mindieta, head of the Nationilist pariy, in the ‘cabled statement below, sent to The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. President Machado's views were . given a’'statement prifited Friday. BY CARLOS MINDIETA. By Cable to The Star. HAVANA, October 9.—I have the honor to accept the request of The Star | and the North American Newspaper | Alliance to express my views on the | political and economic situation in Cuba. | Without undue exaggeration, I de- | clare that the government of Gen. Machado is not, the result of the popu- | lar will. He is unlawfully in power, | owing his position, as he does, to a| constitutional reform imposec: by vio- | lence and which suppressed suffrage. | It was virtually a coup detat. Says Rights Not Afforded. | Furthermore, it is evident that the | Machado government does not guaran- | tee life and property rights, but pro- | vokes by its inadequate and intolerable procedures a real situation of terror | that most deeply disturbs the national economy and destroys also the political status which by its culture and civility Cuba should enjoy. La Union Nacionalista, the opposi- | tion party, represents a patriotic tend- ency to restore to the country its liber- ties, which have been trampled on by the de facto government of Gen. Ma- | chado with the object of changing Ma- | chado’s rule to an imperial regime—a | most irritating and abusive oligarchy. | Opposition Is Outlined, I affirm that, as soon as the despoti- cal and tyrannical government of Gen. ! Machado ceases functioning, the country will regain the moral peace it does not | enjoy today, as well as the economic | stability which has been thoroughly crushed by the incompetency and blunders of those governing Cuba at the present moment. And stability can be | Tegained without mortgaging Cuba’s wealth or jeopardizing its credit or im- posing heavy charges on commerce and dustry through an unscientific and arbitrary fiscal system. The ‘opposition to President Ma- chado's de facto government does not obey a selfish political sectarianism. It 15 a unanimous movement of the Cuban republic. Gen. Mario G. Menocal and Dr. Alfredo_Zayas, ex-Presidents of Cuba; Dr. Enrique Jose Varona, ex- Vice President, and _internationally | known philosopher, and Dr. Momingo | Mendez Capote, also Vice President of | the republic, and president of the Na- tional Convention of 1901, which ap- proved the original constitution, repre- senting the most diverse opinions po- litically, have each expressed an em- phatic opinion against the political regime at present established in Cuba. ‘These men have been so emphatic in their statements, a distinguished states- man was prompted to remark that Gen. Machado has at least the virtue of uniting all Cubans in a solid front against him. Tells of Riotings. The suspension of constitutional guarantees which Gen. Machado has forced c.:dme Cuban Congress has not sugment existing unrest to a superlative degree. In fact, the new measure has not changed in an ap- preciable measure the situation of the country, inasmuch as life and property rights have been at the mercy of the oligarchy ruling Cuba for more than three years.

Professors at the university have been accused and persecuted by the government because they protested at a crime committed against a group of students. The students, in a parade, <ked the repeal of the absurd ruling made by their dean that no classes were to be held until the passing of the elec- | tions to be held November 1, and for | that reason the university was to be | closed until November 15. ‘The paraders were attacked and dis- persed by the government's forces and one student was killed and . several others wounded.
