Manifesto On Cuban Affairs PDF Download

Excerpt from Cuban Opinion on the President's Message: Manifesto Addressed by "the Cuban Society of Judicial and Economic Studies" To the American People The patriots were well aware that they were about to risk their lives, to place in jeopardy the immediate prosperity of their country and to distn1 b the economic equilibrium of the mar kets of the world. But a long and painful ex perience had taught them that, after all, the Spanish government was more ruinous to the Island than the most devastating war could be; for in consequence of that government, the econo mic history of Cuba has been a prolonged crisis, with periodic and frightful exacerbations. The Cubans, moreover, confidently hoped that the justice of their grievances, the elevation of their principles and the purity of their intentions would justify their manful resolution before the eyes of the world.the onslaught of the most formidable army that ever crossed the Atlantic ocean; now that we have dislodged the Spanish government from four - fifths of our territory, now that we have with us the immense majority of the Cuban people, even to those who must remain in the cities dominated by the Spanish army, it would seem to us that we have a right to expect the moral and diplomatic support of the free gov ernments of this New World, in the centre of which our country lies.
