General Wood Defends Use of Cuban Funds in Reciproc ity Efforts
General Leonard Wood denied links to Havemeyer or his agents while in Boston. He said all Cuba relief spending was directed by his agent, funded to promote Cuban reciprocity literature, not to lobby. He supported Roosevelt's policy and favored a 50 percent tariff, or at least 0 to 25 percent, to aid Cuban commerce. He said he would take similar action in the Philippines if ordered.
