LETTER TO THE PRINCES
AND PEOPLE OF INDIA
INCLINED TO LEAVE CUBAN
QUESTION IN ABEYANCE
Washington, Feb. 4. Republican
leaders in the senate and house are
making earnest efforts' to counteract
the (belief that an extra session will be
necessary for the purpose of enacting
legislation denning our future relations
twith Coiiba. It is pointed out that con
gress has nothing to do with the ques
tion until the Cubans take the initia
tive.. As far a;s is known the Cuban
constitutional convention has nlct dis
cussed t)he future relations with the
United States. But even if the ques
tion is discussed and la declaration
thereon formulated the lawyers of con
gress prefer to leave the question in
aheyanice, at .least until the Cuban peo
ple make known what 'attitude they
think the United States should as
sume.' Meanwhile the United 'States
will continue 'to maintain control.
