All Rights Reserved Published in January, 1935 INTRODUCTION The Commission on Cuban Affairs was organized in response to an invitation extended on March 28, 1934 by President Carlos Men dieta to the president of the Foreign Policy Association, a non governmental body devoted to education and research. Accepting the invitation on the understanding that the Commission would be wholly unofficial in character and would work in complete scientific inde pendence, the Foreign Policy Association selected the following mem bers for the Commission on Cuban Affairs Raymond Leslie Buell, President of the Foreign Policy Association Chairman. Frank Whitson Fetter Associate Professor of Economics, Haverford College. Frank Dunstone Graham, Professor of Economics, Princeton University. Ernest Gruening, formerly editor of The Nation, Member of the Board of Directors, Foreign Policy Association. Helen Hall, Director of Henry Street Settlement, New York. Leland Hamilton Jenks, Professor of Social Institutions, Wellesley College. Wilson George Smillie, M. D., Professor of Public Health Administration, Har vard University. Charles A.

Lester MacLean Wilson, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, Milburn Lincoln Wilson, Director of Division of Subsistence Homesteads, De partment of the Interior, Washington.

While a number of investigations have been conducted in the past into particular phases of the Cuban situation and have proved useful to the Commission, no body of information at all has hitherto been available with respect to several fields which the Commission has studied. We hope, there fore, that the accompanying report will serve not only to stimulate discussion as to the solution of immediate problems, but also open up fields of social and scientific investigation which may later be plowed more deeply by others, Cubans and Americans alike. Originally it was intended to have Cuban members on the Com mission. But as a result of unexpected political developments and the advice of numerous representative Cubans, the character of Cuban participation in the work of the Commission was changed from a basis of active membership to that of, private and non-official coopera tion.
