AARON SAPIRO MAKING STRONG FIGHT AGAINST BEING EXTRADITED
Albany, Aug. 18�Aaron Sapiro, the man who achieved international prominence in connection with his organiz-v :'ing of co-operative marketing of western Canada's wheat, is making a strong fight against extradition to Chicago to stand trial as tihe head of a laundry "racket" in Chicago, In which great loss was occasioned to those in the laundry trade In that-city. Chicago authorities allege Sapiro was in Chicago on May 30th, but appearing before Governor Lehman today Sapiro produced ev'dence he wa* in New York on the day in question. While the governor has reserved his decision on the application for the extradition of Saptro, the probabilities
are it will be refused, in which event I Havana. Aug.

What might be called the mopping-up process is now going 1 o- ,v.-ii -.1 dnd many ?oldiers and other agents of former President Machado will dryub'le.ss j be brought to recount for tome of tho atrocit'es committed in the name ot his gove:nment. Eight soldiers, including a corporal and a lieutenant, have already been placed under arrest charged with the deaths of four missing polit'cal prisoners, whose bodies have been found in the fortress in which they had been detained. The discovery of the bodies was made by army officers and representatives ol Ihe A.B.C. secret society of the unr.-versity of Havana, an organization which had a leading part in the revolution.
Cuba's political crisis, which resulted In the deposing of President Machado was the culmination of nearly nine years of turmoil, economic depression and social distress. This period has been marked by labor unrest, student revolt, armed insurrection and governmental repression. � - The agitation revolved about a grim and determined ' old man�<3erardo Machado, president of the republic;� whose dictatorial policies have been enforced with the aid of his army and his police and his political henchmen in congress. Slowly the opposition to Machado crystallized until it asserted itself in a general strike, which paralyzed transportation, stopped the delivery of food and restricted other essential services.
The crisis came in the nrd^ r%f mediation conferences held in Havana between the government and the op-poslt'on with Sumner Welles, the nevf United States ambassador, as mediator. It threatened to wreck tliis effort of the United States to reach a peaceful solution of the Cuban problem without recourse to its right to armed intervention under the Platt amendment, which the Ro.Tsevelt administration lias been anxious to avoid. One of the fundamental causes of trouble in Cuba has been economic. Even if President Machado had g'ven his country a model government, an insistent demand for his removal would have been inevitab'e because of the economic depression, and the rcsult-an1-. social degradation which Cuba has endured since) the collapse of tihe Cuban sugar industry in 1925.

Curb Placed on Applications for Naturalization
C. H. Cahan Directs Judges to
Proceed Carefully With rhe
Request of Aliens
Citizenship Sought by Some of
the Communists to Avoid
their Deportation
vOttawa, Aug. 19�The secretary of state for Canada. C. H. Cahan, has addressed an official letter to all judicial authorities having to do with the issue of naturalization papers, instructing them to conduct careful inquiries into the character and antecedents of all applications for Canadian citizenship.
What the minister has in mind particularly Ls the creation of some safeguard against the admission of aliens having bolshevistic or communistic inclinations. "There are." he says. "undoub+�dly Communist, Bolshevist and other illegal agitations carried on in various parts of Canada, and many propagandists of these ideas apply for naturalization in order to camouflage their propagada and also to preclude any proceedings for deportation."
There are. of course, more innocent reasons for naturalization as well. J>!d -age pensions, for instance, are available only to British subjects; manv employers of labor refuse to entrap aliens in these times; in many municipalities only BritLsh subjects arj> eligible for relief. The fact is, however, that last year 25.677 aliens were naturalized, and in the past five vears 109,658. Judicial officers, therefore, will in -the future be !e-\s inclined to treat Canadian citizenship as a gift to be had for the asking. Ra'her it is to be considered as a privilege to be earned.
