What reading level is Argument of John R Dos Passos Esq of New York in Favor of Recognition of Cuba book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The power of coming and going as he pleases, subject only to proper, reason- able and legal restraint, is denied to him. The Captain- General can restrain him, or banish him, according to his mighty pleasure.
Then, two striking and indispensable elements of a progressive government are lacking in Cuba, a free and unlicensed press, and the right of the people to meet together to discuss public questions. It is a pure waste of time and space to elaborate the importance of these two primary rights....
If a free press, and the right of public discussion, had existed in Cuba, an entirely different state of affairs might have prevailed between the colony and the mother country to-day ; but the Spaniards have adhered strictly to one rule, namely, to govern these people despotically, and although desultory protests have been, from time to time, heard in Spain and in Cuba against the system, they have been without avail. Deputies said in the Cortes in 1872: "Cuba is sunk under an inundation of abuses, and a plus ultra is impossible unless in- deed the extermination of the whole island be de- creed.
