Denver's Rocky Mountain News insisted that "something has got to be done about Cuba and it had better be soon." Arthur Krock proposed naval patrols, David Lawrence called for 1) a total blockade and 2) severance of diplomatic relations with Russia. Such actions, he conceded, "could lead to some fighting."
