The President's statement follow- ed shortly an interview which he held with Sumner Welles, United States Ambassador, who declared as he left the Presidential palace that “unedlation is not ended." /

Yesterday's tragic disturbances were produced after circulation of a. report that Machado was on the verge of leaving office and after Ambassador Welles had submitted a formula for settlement which had been agreed upon by most of the Opposition and Government party, leaders.

The strikes of transport and oth- er workers, which have spread rap- idly in Havana and in other parts of the Island during the past week, may be broken tomorrow, the Pres- ident asserted.

The President declared he was disposed to reach . an agreement lwlth his political adversaries and even today he had sent to Congress a recommendation for immediate approval of the electoral reforms advised by Professor Howard Lee McBain of Coliunbla University.

liutomobile Trade MakingRapid Comeback

(Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. B—Wall Street has been. cheered by reports of the rapid comeback being made by the automobile trade. The motor car business has exceeded expectations of analysts 1n the celerity with which it has regained ground lost as the result of tight purses and jobless motorists.

Whereas three months ago stat- isticians were predicting that the industrys business might fail to equal the volume in 1932 and red ink would mark the ledgers of most companies, improvement has been so marked that indications point to profits of most of the major con- cerns in the third quarter of 1933 attaining the best level since the comparable period of 1929. The year 1929 was a fairly good year' for the automobile industry, al- though not equalling 1928 when the motor car industry enjoyed the greatest prosperity in its history.
