MUCH HAPPENED 1N CUBA DURING 122 Budget Reduction Was One of the Features of Year Havana, Cuba, Jan, 26, - Cuba Beeded no holiday message from President Alfredo Zayas to prompt it to point with pride to the nation's ac- complishments in 1922, and view with resey hope its plans for 1923, it is ex- plained at the presidential palace in #ccountipg for the chief executive's failure to issue the customary docu- ment, The facts speak for them. #elves, it is deelared In official quar- ters, and the facts, as set forth under the head of 1932 accomplishments, follow; Budfet reduction In round num-. bors from $132,000 to $563,000,000, ac- companied by administrative reforms, Orderly partial elections on Now; 1, although the officlal returns have not yet been made publie, Neformation of the national lottery involving the disappearance of $10,. 000,000 & year in fllegal collections. Progrest in the following directions: Restoration of normal financial condi- tlons through the authorization of a $60,000,000 forelgn loan; classification of nearly $70,000,000 in unpaid cur- rent indebtedness; liquidation of the 38 parent and 300 branch banks which closed as a reiult of the 1920 crack; tariff revision; banking legis- lation; clectoral and judicial code re- forms; revision of the reciprocity treaty with the United States; taxa- tion reforma, Hopes for a happy new year are based, more or less, on what is ex- pected to result from the accomplish- ments of 1922 and from the success- ful consumation of tasks well begun, but still incomplete. The economiés already implanted, the new taxation as yet unproductive, ‘“and the settling of old obligations with the receipt of the proceeds of the $50,000,000 loan after Jan. 12, mre confidently expected to restore pros- perity. Prospects for a 4,000,000-ton sugar crop at a price not far from 4| cents a pound are not listed as ex- actly “bearish.” Supplementary to the hoped for re- ,sults from 1922 accomplishments, 1923 achievements are believed to be «’potential fruits of a preferential leg- {slative program unofficially approved recently at a meeting of a majority of the senate. This includes the lim- * itation of Chinese, Jamaican and Haitian immigration; reform of the federal accounting system; a new banking code, involving the creation of a bank of emission and a federal! . reserve system; reform of the elec-| toral code and the organic judiciary| law; constitutional reforms, to make possible the creation of a federal dis- trict, including Havana and vlnclorul: and judicial reforms. | The need of banking legislation looms largest in official and business| circles, The wreckage of the old system is rapidly being salvaged, and | when that is accomplished not much | delay is anticipated in complying with the president's requests for a central bank of emission to act as the gov-| ernment's fiscal agent and an ade- quate reserve system. | The bank that congress is ronfl- dentially expected to create will be al tusion of various Cuflan projects, no- tably the Torriente plan, with sugges- tions made by W. P. G. Harding, for- mer governor of the American federal reserve system, after a six-weeks mis- sion to Cuba. The defunct Banco Nacional will be revived by the injec- tion of $4,000,000 in real cash and $16,000,000 in securitiecs whieh the government took from the institution to secure its deposits. Half of the $4,000,000 will be subscribed in Cuba, half in the United States. The §$16,-| 000,000 will have no voting power, | but each of the $2,000,000 will elect directors who, in turn, will choose the ! governor of the new bank and the re- serve system, the American federal ~reserve will | propose two candidates, from whom the Cuban governor must be sclected. In its review and forccast official- dom is discretely, but not intentional- ly, quiet on the part that Major Gen- eral E, H. Crowder, special American emissary to Cuba, has played and will play in the course of events. Nor is| any emphasis placed on the results,| thus far negligible, 6f the judicial in- vestigations, indictments and charges made in connection with alleged frauds in,the former management of the affairs of the national lottery, and of the internal revenue, public works, | communications, and treasury depart- ments. Politically the burning question is whether or not President Alfredo Zayas and former president General Mario G. Menocal will seek reclection in 1924, and what are the chances of other potential candidates, such as Carlos Manuel de Ccspedes, secretary of state and former minister to Wash- ington, and General Carlos Mendieta and Gerardo Machado, liberals. The word “bulldoze” found its way into the dictionary just after the Hayes-Tilden presidential contest, when a negro used it in describing before an election nvestigaton board how he was prevented from voting. FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY SOOTHED WITH SULPHUR Mentho-Sulphur, a plesaant cream. will soothe and heal skin that is irri- | tated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur prepara- [ tion is applied the itching stops and | after two or three applications, thr! eczema is gone and the skin is de- | lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy be- cause it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or disfig- urement. Mentho-Sulphur always heals eczema right v A small jar of Rowlon Mentho-Sul- phur may be had at any good drug store. IF STOMACH IS TROUBLING YOU, CHEW A FEW!! | Instantly!

Now the Soviet government will hm.u into foree the laws that are In foree in Russia, in other words each peasant will get only as much land as he and his family are eapable of work ing. This will naturally mean a great loss to the Russian peasant and also more labor than he is accustomed to do. Korean settiers coming into the country will receive land on the same terms as the Hussian settiers.
