I understand the gentleman to declare that he will be in favor of the annexation of Cuba whenever that island has become Americanized. It has cost the United States about $250.000.000 to break the grasp of Spains merciless despotism over Cuba. and to establish a republican form of government there. The gentleman has just stated that he favored that clause in the pending bill which will prevent an American citizen having property interests in Cuba from taking contract laborers from the United States and working them in Cuba. Will the gentleman. who is in favor of such offensive discrimination against the American workingman. explain how he ever expects Cuba to become Americanized?
