Sugar bounty plan for Cuban sugar growers proposed
Domestic sugar interests propose a US treasury funded bounty to pay Cuban sugar planters for every pound of sugar exported. A commission with US and Cuban representatives would study the issue and report to Congress for action before the next crop. Estimated Cuban crop 640000 tons could yield over 7 million dollars in bounty if a one third to one half cent per pound duty is redirected.
