Al- ‘provokes the query in the song, did you get that hat?” (Editor & Publisher) Periodically the intolerable tyranny of the Cuban censorship of newspapers comes into public notice. Such brazenness as was exhibited by the Cuban military in suppressing copies of American news- papers and magazines was one of the re- cent acts that has focused attention on the chaos-ridden Republic. If precedent is fol- lowed, the objection to President Ma- CUBA REVEALED | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN course be an enormonus econsump- | tion at home of commodities aml if x s 4S ‘p 4 merchandise produced here. chado’s dictatorial policies will be vocif-{ essential, therefore, that the pro- Our Government —How It Operates MARKET INFORMATION eecccescosese across lution of Satueday’s Puzz! ~ a eh & Det iy if 20.

Dessert erous and indignant for several weeks, and | @¢e of agricultural commodities, then will gently subside. while the incredibly cruel and oppressive persecution of. newspapers in the island will continue. For two years the newspapers have been under the -heel-of Machado. - Editors submit proofs to the government author- | tle ities for approval before they are pub-| ' Sdy of the lished. If they fail to do so they often fa the seety have to reckon with the secret police, and they may disappear, or have their plants damaged by government hoodlums, or they may be banished. An editor in Cuba actually puts his life at stake if he has the temerity to enunciate a principle. But they are not docile’ and ac- quiescent, event after two strenuous yéars. Editor & Publisher is informed by recent ebservers that Cuban.editors, gagged in their own medium, are fighting Machado tooth and nail in other ways. They have, in other words, joined the opposition which, seemingly little organization, seems bent on the one common object of ousting Machadc. Instead of fighting openly in their newspapers they are reduced to ven- detta activities.. It is a pitiable thing to see an editor fighting without a news- paper. But it is more pitiable to see him crushed, disillusioned and complacent. As long as Cuban editors combat tyranny, by one means or another, there is some hope [ that the tyrant may be flung from his seat of power. A tendency exists on the part of press association reporters and newspaper cor- respondents in Latin-American countries to gloss over the sometimes ridiculously overt acts of dictators and the retaliatory measures of the people. Particularly has this been true in Cuba. It is as though the facts were too extravagant to be true, that the spectacle were opera .bouffe, taining, but not to be taken too seriously. The Latin-American temperament and the soft sunshine of Havana may have some- thing to do with it. But the work of Tom gee Hi niteness that Times, whose informative articles on Cuba were published recently, and of occasional press association reporters, is perfervid and pointed. They, at any rate, see the situa- tion in its grim reality. What they have had to say wili have effect. Cuba is at our national threshhold. The Platt amendment may be interpreted as giving us direct power to intervene in Cuba. Observers say that even slight pres- sure of our government on Machado would dissipate his dictatorial powers. Is not the warrant the application of that pressure? The past years have proven that as long as Machado wields his whip there can be no peace in his ‘Republic. He has been “touched by the moon’’.as the Cubans say, and is possessed with delusions of grandeur. He should be ousted from power. SENSE AND SPEED It has been rather well established that laws which arbitrarily fix speed limits for automobiles are little protection against accidents. The speed at which one may shfely drive depends upen the road and traffic conditions involved.
