SIAOIOLON FOR CUBA SEORED Torriente, Opposition Head, | Blames Machado for In- | creased Debt. | Criticlsm of the Cuban government for contemplating & $100,000,000 long- | term loan for refunding purposes was made today by Cosme de la Torriente, | director of the Cuban opposition. “The proposal of the Machado regime | o seek such a loan for refunding pur- | poses,” the Cuban opposition charges, | “actually means that an effort will be | made to increase the foreign debt of | Cuba by $20,000,000, since it is the in- | tention of the government to retire only | $80,000,000 of the existing foreign debt | with the proceeds and use the re-| mainder to take up $20,000.000 in cer- tificates which have been issued to Cuban contractors for public road con- struction.” Increase Denounced. The foreign debt under the regime of Machado, it was claimed, already has reached a greater total than the com- bined forcign borrowings of the first | four Presidents of Cuba. The total of ns was $111,500,000 and only anding. “Machado in his six years in office has made foreign s of $9,000,000, $80,000,000 and $42,000,000,” the state- ment said. “The second was obtained to ca at the regime’s public work: program and the third to assure the sugar stabilization plan. The borrow ings of the Machado regime _alon therefore, amount already to $131,000,- 000. To this large amount Machado now seeks to add $20,000,000.” | Hits Domestic Bonds. In addition to these forelgn loans, it was charged, there are outstanding $8,000,000 in domestic bonds issued by former administrations, while Machado has out certificates amounting to $20,- 000,000 and & floating debt of many millions which cannot be exactly calcu- lated.

Sewer Work Urged. ‘The District Commissioners will be requested to expedite the construction of the sewer on Van Buren street from Fifth street to Piney Branch road in order to not further delay the paving of that thoroughfare. The inaccessibility to the Whittier School playgrounds was called to the attention of the members, it being pointed out that Whittier and streets were in such bad shape that it was impossible to get to the street cars at the corner of Third and Whittier streets. The opening of Fourth street was urged also in order to relieve the | situation. Road Widening Asked. The widening and improvement of Sandy Spring road from Van Buren and Aspen streets to Laurel avenue will be requested, in view of the fact that assessments have been made by the District but the work not started. James Bell was elected a member of the association. The association was invited by Lewis E. Beacock, com- | mander of ‘Takoma Park Post No. 28, Department of Maryland, the American !

Bell, Who Founded Group 40 Years Ago, Declares World Is Improving. ‘The world is a better place today was due to the conquest of the child | the diseases. Census statistics from 1890 to 1930 show consistently an increasingly efifi”mmy of life for the new-born ¢child, but a decreasing one for those of advanced years. This was to have been expected, since the more delicate, who ordinarily would have succumbed in in- fancy, were saved. But, Forsyth finds, the census figures from 1921 to 1931 show not only still further decrease for advanced years, but no further increases for infants. This may appear more clearly when the 1930 census figures are published. il g German automobile purchasers are disgruntled over ‘reports that German cars are being sold cheaper abroad than Dr. W. A.
