WHAT CUBA HAS DONE
SINCE DECLARATION
1 OF WAR ON HUNS
i
—
HAVANA, Cuba, May 3 — Since Cuba’s war
declaration, many activities, some military and naval,
others economic, have been put in motion here to aid the
United States. From the time when the German and
Austrian steamships seized in Cuban waters were turned
over outright as a gift to the United States Shipping
Board, until the present, when Cuba is mobilizing her
recources to send a force of from 10,000 to 20,000 men to
France, thewhole policy of the republic has been to sub
ordinate other matters to those obligations of alliance f
which her declaration of war entailed. The Cuban army
and navy have been reorganized, and experts from the
United States Army Staff have estimated that Cuban’s
military forces could be enlarged to a maximum of 100,
000 men and maintained at the figure indefinitely. j
The Cuban Navy has assumed patrol duty not only
in Cuban territorial waters, but also far out in the Car
ibbean, and it has been augmented by a fleet of submarine
chasers, while other craft are under construction. In
addition to these military and naval measures, many j
young Cubans are now in the French battle lines as in
fantrymen and aviators. As instructors for the Cuban ,
Escradille, which is intending to sail shortly for the ■
French front, the Allied detailed two of their leading air
men to Havana, and that both these flyers were native
Cubans.
I
Economically, Cuban s service has been conspicous. |
Cuba’s crop of sugar this year totals 3,600,000 long tons, j
which is said to be the greatest sugar crop ever raised by ‘
one country in the world’s history. The entire crop has
been turned over to agencies of the United States Food
Administration and is being marketed at a figure which, j
while it brings a diminished profit to its patriotic produc
ers, at the same time has tended to safeguard the world
from profiteering and extortion in this essential food
commodity.
Besides this, Cuba is developing her agricultrual j
resources in other lines to a great degree; so it is hoped
that the necessity for insisting this year on the usual im
portations of foodstuffs from the United States will be
diminished in the months to come.
The Cuban Red Cross headed by Madame Mariana
Seva de Menocal, wife of President Menocal, has raisedj
$1,000,000 for its work, and is equipping a hospital unit
exclusively of Cuban physicians and nurses for service
in France.
