Senator Berner Attacks Cuban Policy and Annexation Plans
In a sharp interview from Washington, Senator Berner assails Roosevelt's Cuba policy as a grab aimed at annexation down to the Orinoco. He argues Cuba elections are rotten, likens them to U S political rot, and questions permanence of any provisional government. He foresees protectorate or annexation if Roosevelt is re elected and warns sugar and tobacco interests push for annexation. The Cuba situation, Platt Amendment, and U S intervention remain central concerns.
