W, Washington IMACHADO BECOME TARGET OF UNREST Current Troubles Blamed on President as in Cuba’s Past. BY WILLIAM H. FORT. By Cable to The Star. HAVANA, Cuba, July 30.—Ever since Cuba began its national existence as & free republic, there have been inter- mittent disturbances on the island— riots, killings, political brawls about this and that, and cries of “down with so-and-so!” The name depending on who happened to be president at the moment. Right now the cries age against Gen. Gerardo Machado, occupant of the presidentixl chair since 1925. But it might just as well have been any one clse, had that some one else held Gen. Machado's title of president. For com- plaining against ti existing political "order is one of the Cuban’s two favorite pastimes, and preparing for a revolu- I tion has become bv now an old Ouban custom. Mostly the Cuban exhausts his fre in talk, and it is only when jurged to it by some precipitate move nn the part of the students that this resentment takes an active form. It is such a move that Mechado fears at present and which has led him to fortify the presidential palace with machine guns, militarize the Havana police force and order mounted bands of rurales to patrol the roads for a radius of several miles surrounding the city. Reflection of Discomfort. Much of Cuba's political unrest is merely a reflection of the country’s economic discomfort. and it is more than probable that under similar con- ditions the same amount of unrest would hive been evidenced no matter who was president. | It is considered doubtful that a change of administration, which the people are so loudly demanding, would do anything but quiet for a time the murmurs of discontent. It merely happens that President Machado made several moves which proved to b* gen- erally unpopular., and which, because of this unpopularity, served to call attention to certain facts and actions twhich in normal times might have passed unnoticed. The recent change of government of the City of Havana from a municipality to a federal district is one instance of |this—one action which President Machado's opponents seized upon as excellent material for criticism. The reason given for the change from a municipality to a federal district was to save expenses. The city administra- tion costs, according to advance notices, being directly under federal supervision, {would be less than bsfore and thus | money would be saved which the gov- ernment could use for other useful purposes. | The President's adversaries, however, maintain that the change was made ; with the one thought in mind to get rid of Miguel Mariano Gomez, ex-Mayor of Havana. President Machado had op- posed the election of Senor Gomez from the start. He was too ynugleg. he said, and too inexperienced to intrusted with such high office. Kept Election Promises, Despite the Machado orposition. how- | ever, Senor Gomez was elected—and he d to prove himself an excellent | rator. He kept all of his elec- | tion promises—something unprecedented | in Cuban politics. He cleaned up the ' town, cut down graft, put through vari- ous improvements, and virtually elim- inated open prostitution. His populafity mounted, and he came to be looked upon as one of the strong i leaders of the island. As Mayor he re- fused to accept dictation in any of his actions from the presidential paiace and insisted on running the city in his own ! way. Whether or not there is truth to the contention that President Machado en- gineered the transformation in an af tempt to end the career of & politici opponent who might later prove dan-; gerous to his own plans, it is certainly true that the change did not bring about a lessening of administrative éx- pense. After the change to a federal district, _the _administration, which | wanted to cut expenses immediately, voted the sum of $40,000 a year to be available to the new district govern- !ment for entertainment purposes. an-| other $6.000 was voted for an official | | automobile and the expenses of the | is rict” immediately mounted to three times the expenses of the same section when it was a city. Now Wide Open. It had also been the announced in- tention of President Machado to keep the district of Havana free from vice and make of it a model of moral| cleanliness. Evidently these intentions | were forgoiten immediately, for it would ! be difficult to find another city in the world more “wide open” than Havana. Gambling flourishes openly all over town and the city has numberless pros- ' titutes who ply their trade openly and | without interference both on the streeis and in the. open-air restaurants and ars. Perhaps this is not entirely the fault | | of President Machado, and perhaps the same conditions would exist under any other administration. Yet it remains |true that these conditions do not exist [in other sections of the lsland and that | they did not exist in Havana while, | Miguel Mariano Gomez was mayor be- Tore it was transformed into a federal district.
