Relief Plan Aims to Stabilize Cuban Economy
President Palma and his cabinet propose a 3.5 million dollar relief plan to aid sugar growers and cattle raisers. Sugar loans cover 65 pounds at fifty cents, repayable in February and March, with cattle breeders receiving 5 per cow for breeding up to 100,000 and duty-free cattle imports. The plan would raise funds via higher tariffs and an internal bond loan, despite possible Senate inaction on reciprocity.
