Nov. S. Feder al sinofures are an American im portation, introduced into Cuba by American officials, is the charge made in the preamble to a bill recently approved by the sen ate granting amnesty to all those who have broken the law through their connection with the nation al lottery. This official docu ment, because of the frankness with which it deals with political graft, aroused, interest in view of the success of Major General E. II. Crowder n securing the refor mation on June 30 by presidential decree of the national lottery by ending the illegal collection through ticket juggling of near ly sl0.000.000 a year. "During the second American intervention," savs the preamble in part, "with such plausible intentions as the solution of political difficulties and the lending of economic assistance to certain persons, posts were creat fl 1 in all governmental depart ments which in reality were not administered by those named to fill them, although they drew the .salaries. It is supposed that Governor Magoon adapted this practice to Cuba from precedents set in his own country because the government of the United States, which could not have been iumn-ant of the practice, not on ly did not prevent it, but con sented to it. It was continued after the republic had been re stored, under the presidency of Major General Jose Miguel Gomez. "After the establishment of the national lottery, which has had the double aspect of a source of public income and political wea- p"ii. imaginary posts were in creased considerably. Moreover, ence the tickets had begun to "ell at prices higher than those iixed by law, coliectorships were divided among politicians and Persons of influence, and the names of persons who never existed began to figure among ti e list of collectors." This system of sinecures was continued throughout the eight Tears during wdiich General Maj O. Menocal was president, according to the preamble, and during the first year of the ad ministration of President Al fredo Zayas. "It is a fact that nobody can deny," the bill continues, "that during more than 15 years the custom has existed in absolutely TT TI ultimatum - ESULTS OF THE URTY VOTE For Congress : Claude Kit chin 1314.

The gross rev enue collected in postage on cor respondence and parcels by the British postofiee for the last fis cal year will be 40.000.000 pounds according to estimates of the de partment. This is a substantial increase over the previous yeary and a slight increase over the year preceding the war. Estimates for 1921-1922, based on figures of last October, show that the department will handle 3,400.000.000 letters; $500,000. 000 postcards, 1,150,000.000 printed papers and 190,000,000 newspapers. all the federal departments and all classes of society have benefit- ted by it. The number of favors secured by recipients was meas-' med by their influence. "What ever acts were realized by the authorities, officials or individ uals caused no alarm nor criti cism, except in a few instances." The bill then states that this looting of the treasury became so general and was tolerated'to such . -i . -i an extent tnat custom maae ii possible to violate the law with impunity. Switching to the re cent economic catastrophe which the republic as suffered, the meassure aam passes responsi bility to the United States by declaring : "The recent economic disasters we have suffered, due not to ouri administration bt principally to our cooperation with the United States in the great war, by in creasing enormously our suga" production in response to Ameri ca indications, have revealed facts related to contracts, pay ments, etc., that have alarmed cur people, unaccustomed to these irregularities, which are fre quent in other . countries enjoy ing the reputation of being models."
