Our present strained relations with Spain caused Prof. McLaughlin to depart from the usual lesson in his American history class Tuesday, and dellvlecture upon Spain and her relations to the United States in the past.

At one time the entire western hemisphere was the property of Spain, granted to her by a Papal Buil in 1493. The Spanish Armada in 15S8 was the real beginning of the history of the United States. Spain ha.s made a miserable failure as a colonizing power. Driven from the North American continent by the vigorous Anglo-Saxon peoples, she also lost her South American colonies by her barbarous treatment of them. And this cruel colonial policy has continued in her treatment. of Cuba. It is no longer a question of Cuba's freedom. AngloSaxon America cries out for her release from a nation not yet awakened from sixteenth century ideas of justice and administration. It is only to be hoped that the freedom may be accomplished without resorting to war "and its consequent disasters.
