From Cuba comes word the Palma government may seek United States intervention to suppress the growing revolutionary movement. President Roosevelt reportedly insists Cuba must stand or fall on its own strength and will not be a nurse to a fledgling republic. Secretary Root recently assured Latin America that the U S will not meddle in internal affairs.
A statement argues the United States will eventually assume control of the island republic to protect the little nation’s safety and preserve U S rights, framing it as an unavoidable duty.
