Thinlc what all this means for the future of Cuba!
In 1907 Cuba had a population of 2,048,980. Today it haa a population
of 2,80,-1,123. Spanish misrule retarded its natural growth. Only one-cleventh
of the productive land is yet incultivation. If it had the same density of pop
ulationas Porto Rico, its population would he 15,140,730; as Java. 27,299,195.
It is coti: tated th.-.t Cuba will receive this year from the United States an
additional $200,000,000 to cover tindevelopcd industries.
To sum up, Cubu is rich, is tremendously undcrpopulated, undeveloped.

feeding.
The climate of Cuba is such that no sheJter is required for ai I the
