In Cuba, wholesale murder is car- ried on by the government of Gerardo Machado against citizens who. dare criticize his terror, Stu- dents, professors, lawyers, doctors, labor-leaders, business men have been shot down ruthlessly in their homes, on the streets, or in jail. The blood thus shed is on our hands. We, as a nation, were re- sponsible for Cuba’s independence. American lives were. lost ‘to, make. it free. Today, morally and legal- ly we are directly responsible for the grim conditions prevailing on that island. By the Platt Amend- ment—set forth in a permanent treaty May 22, 1903—Cuba con- sented to our right “to intervene for the preservation of Cuban in- dependence, the maintenance of a government adequate for the pro- tection of life, property and indi- vidual liberty—” Yet now we as- sume the holy réle of non-respon- sibility for terrible crimes. I was in Machado’s showy cap- ital on September 27, 1932, when Dr, Clemente Vasquez Bello, pres. ident of the Senate, and Machado’s trusted adviser, was assassinated. Within a few hours some of the most honorable men in Cuban life who had had the temerity to op- pose Machado, men who had no relation to the Vasquez Bello crime, were wiped out by the gov- ernment’s secret murder gang. That afternoon I-had an appoint- ment with Leopoldo Freyre de An- drad¢, an authority upon the sugar question. I kept my appointment with a dead man. Before sunset not only Leopoldo, but his two brothers, Gonzalo and Guillermo, were lying in blood on the second floor of their home. Gunmen had forced their way inside his resi- dence and mowed down the three brothers. The police, next door, close enough to hear all the firing, delayed 15 minutes before appear- ing. Gonzalo, a well-known law- yer, had dared defend political prisoners illegally held by the mili- tary authorities. He and his two brothers paid the usual price. Dozens of other prominent Cubans took refuge in foreign legations in order to escape a similar fate. The tendency of Cuban rulers to mulct their country as thor- oughly as possible has reached the maximum corruption under Ma- chado. For the 1930 elections Ma- chado nominated members of his own family and many intimate friends. He dlready had a pup- pet congress, but he wished to dish out the fat lottery collections to his intimate circle. The so-called Chadbourne sugar plan created a new bonded indebtedness of $42,- 600,000 of which $4,000,000 it has been charged, went to high offi- cials. | Cuba’s ostentatious capi- tol building was erected by the Ma- chado government at a cost of $8,000,000 plus $12,000,000 in graft. An officer of the Chase National Bank estimated that Cu- ba’s great central highway cost $100,000,000, An American com- pany previously offered to build a loss in graft of $65,000,000, To hold Cuba helpless under its tyranny, the Machado govern- ment, though it cannot pay school teachers, is permitted to buy quantities of arms in the U; States. And, since Machado clamped the lid down upon all ular expression, since no as a weapon. The famous Crow- der election law has been uncon- stitutionally set aside and no new party can be formed. All public assemblages have been forbidden for years. ...No paper ¢an print in- dependent opinion. During his first two years, Ma- chado hastened to weed out all army officers not loyal to himself. Loyal officers were granted lavish privileges. Even the common soldier is the pet of the Machado system,/and Cuban barracks have ~ beeome commodious clubrooms. Every department of the govern- ment has its military supervisors. In acordance with laws repeated- ly declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, political offenders are brought under military juris- diction and if tried at all, are court-martialled. Under the strain of attempting to uphold his convictions against military usur- pation, the President of the Su- preme Court, Dr. Jose Luis Vidaur- reta, committed suicide. His’ suc- cessor soon resigned after dénoun- cing. “the usurpation of the con- stitutional life of the country,” “Through illegal manoeuvers, President Machado was given an additional six years in office without. the necessity of an elec- tion. In his violation of the en- tire legal system of Cuba, Ma- chado has had the opposition of every literate Cuban except the army and a small‘clique on the government, payroll. Above all —the opposition of the students, who began, agitating, against his excesses. The government \coun- tered with violence. A gang of police entered the home of the aged philosopher and patriot, Dr. Enrique Jose Varona, dean of Cuban letters, and beat up a group of students visiting him. Simal- taneously soldiers seized the Uni- versity. When in September, 1930, students organized a parade in honor of Dr. Varona, they were ridden down from ambush by mounted -soldiers. | Most of the professors. who joined in the pa- rade ‘have been in prison ever since. A few days later, 300 profes- sors met in the Engineering Col- lege to pledge sympathy to the students in their fight for con- stitutional government. All these professors were immediately dis- missed. The closing of the Uni- versity followsd. Today, the im- posing buildings of the Univer- sity of Havana are deserted. The students of high and nor- mal schools, and of the commer- cial and industrial ne if murdered.
