Cuban Reciprocity Hearings Open Before Ways and Means
In Washington January 24 the Cuban reciprocity hearings resume before the ways and means committee. William Haywood, representing Hawaiian planters and the Hawaii chamber of commerce, argues free trade with Cuba could ruin Hawaii, while conceding two small concessions might be acceptable. Mr Post of the National Sugar Refining Co explains the market, noting many independent refineries and predicting no consumer price effect from a 25 percent Cuban sugar cut. Hawley advocates special Cuba concessions to shape future relations, citing Cuban distress and labor wages. Republicans in Congress rally to support reciprocity, with McGath urging a moderate duty reduction to aid Cuban producers and favor a stable postwar Cuba.
