MIAMI, Fla., April 13.—Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin, the mild-mannered university professor, s political-up- heavel-made President of Cuba for four troubled months, foresees fresh sorrows for his homeland. “I am afraid the only way Cuba’s people can secure the peace they so much desire is by force of arms, and I expect revolution to come any day now,” the exiled former President said here today. A From what quarter will come the spark he expects to set the island republic aflame with revolt, Dr. Grau professes not to know. “Who can say from where comes revolution?” he questioned, recalling the sudden twists of politics that were important factors in sending two armed revolts against his administra- tion September, 1933, until January, 1934. The scholarly chief of the revolu- tionary party blames the extension of military authority “to shield the army and punish civilians in military tri- bunals” for Cuba’s internal difficul- ties. “Cuba is now really in chaos. The constitution is out. The provisional constitution is out. The military de- cree is the law of the land. It is im- possible to have peace while such a condition exists,” he insists. He is bitter over the execution Thursday by a Santiago army firing squad of the convicted bomber, a man who died as Jose Gustavo Angulo Terry. “Naturally,” Grau exclaimed, “I do not approve of terrorism, but I am concerned, as should be every other Cuban, over the fact that the mili- tary commander assumed the author- ity to kil the prisoner 24 hours ahead of the time set by the court.” P IRST to feature this NEW HAMILTON WATCH We're proud to introduce it to the men of Wash- ington, knowing as we do that it will be received with the welcome always accorded any Hamilton innovation, Hamilton NELSON *30 $1 a Week!
