Colonel Batista is famous as the power behind Cuba; he has made two Presidents and unmade three since 1033 when he came into the open as the head of the Sergeant's Rebellion. It took an all night session of all the officers of the army to persuade Batista to become a colonel after this successful revoll which he carried through as a sergeant. Colonel Batista established good relations with Mr. Sumner Wells when he was American Ambassador to Cuba and last year

he was received by President Roose- velt with whom he is credited to have military relationa agreed on close between Cuân and the United States.
