[that he vacate his position so that
! the troubles could be settled by
saying that “I am president and
will continue to be president.”
The Cuban situation is caused
by the conflicting and unyielding
attitudes of the numerous elements
involved in the growing crisis and
has increased the public’s tension
to such an extent that anything
might happen.
Grave concern is expressed for!
the welfare of Cuban citizens for!
unless the strike, which is paraly-j

bread is being distributed in ra-1

there was confirmation of this lat-!
ter protest.
From the United States came
word from President Roosevelt urg
ing the Cuban politicians to forget
their differences for the good of the!

RISE IN PRICES

dent Roosevelt, in addition to deal
ing with the Cuban political vol
cano, paid njuch attention to his

were being moved and when goods
are moved, he said, employment is
necessary to replace them.

almost impatient Recovery Admin
istrator, General Hugh S. Johnson,
issued an ultimatum to the em
ployers who do not line up with the
•'Blue Eagle” properly He declared
that anyone who does not live up
to his oath to the "Blue Eagle” or
“attempts chiseling to defeat the
N. R. A. will promptly have his
'Blue Eagle’ taken away.” He alsc
declared that any employer who
so maneuvered his shifts of em
ployers so that it would not be -
necessary for him to hire addition
al men as provided for under the
code, would also be open to pun
ishment for by so doing the em
ployer was frustrating the purpose
