Abstract

We frequently hear about masonry, its deeds and its social concern on a certain time or society. Most of the times it refers to a specific lodge or mason, not necessarily to the whole body of masons that rules that specific country or area. That's why this work applies for an official press that reveals the position of masonry towards the social issues in the years 1920 to 1924. The position does not correspond unveiled to a particular institution but to the whole, the views of people expressed in the journal show that the Grand Lodge of Cuba, accepted and assumed as their own. The main issues addressed in the period were the economy, law and teaching, most of them are related to need a secular state and its institutions.
