'It is tko policy of the government,

-all needy, dependent Cuban9, there
by enabling them to earn a living.
They will be put to cleaning? cities,
kailding roads and whatever is of
.--advantage m building up .the! waBted
, fetereata ofthe island. No' provis

tarn them and employment is not to
re given to those retaining the allege
inco to Spain. With such regula
tions the government has good rea
- ton to ho pa to put a new -phase on
