Pineapple tariff victory and Hawaii gains in Congress
The Conference Committee adopted House provisions on pineapple tariffs, favoring fresh and canned pineapple rates under Payne and Dingley provisions. Hawaiian growers credit Washington allies for the change, noting duty shifts from 7 cents per cubic foot and 26 percent ad valorem to higher rates for fresh and lower protection for preserved juice, with implications for Singapore pineapples and local industry. The report also notes the earthquake ruin in Acapulco, half the city destroyed and the National Bank in ruins with a fatally injured cashier.
