Havemeyer Chief of Trust Testifies on Cuban Sugar
Washington May 1 The Senate Cuban relations subcommittee began inquiry into Cuban sugar and lands with Henry O Havemeyer head of the American Sugar Refining Company as first witness. He says the so-called sugar trust owns no Cuban lands and that purchases since January total about 93 000 tons of Cuban sugar, representing roughly three quarters of a months supply for the company. The hearing notes wide raw sugar sourcing and potential tariff effects, with discussion of private interests and stock increases.
