Cuban reciprocity hearings open in Washington
Hearings before the ways and means committee began on Cuba reciprocity with a large turnout from Cuban and American interests. Cuban delegates represented by Place Mendoza Dumois and Francke urged free sugar imports and reciprocal concessions. American sugar leaders Atkins Kelly Craig argued for substantial cuts, claiming lower prices would benefit both Cuba and the United States. A Cuban delegation head, Louis Place, outlined Cuba’s purchases and potential American market gains, while Mendoza warned of losses to the island’s sugar crop if no reciprocity occurs. A recess followed.
