...compromise presidency of Hevia failed when Guiteras, Secretary of War and Interior in the Grau San Martin cabinet, announced that the radical steps which he supported must be carried out and that his arch-enemy, Colonel Batista, must resign.

...critics with every sympathy for the idea back of the arch, for the industry of Sculptor Barnard and for the artistic value of many of the individual figures stayed mum. None dared remind a man who has worked 15 years on one job that a 100-foot arch is not sculpture but architecture. The vast panels of plaster he has designed are white excrescences oozing from masonry. Despite their individual merit and the noble symbolism they represent, not one of the 53 figures has any structural connection with the arch of which it is a part...
