Its president,;Dr. Carlos de Ja Torre, told the members: they} were free to join opposition groups in Havana in accepting mediation, jby Mr. Welles. ; The A B C’s emergence as an jactive organization dedicated to the furthering of reform in pub- lic life would be looked upon favorably, it is known, by nearly all those now engaged in seeking to find the solution to ada Se political problem.
