Block Cuban treaty faces defeat over five year concessions ban
Special to The New York Times Washington Jan. 10 The Cuban reciprocity treaty risks failing to be ratified not from votes but from Senate delay tactics. Beet sugar states oppose concessions, with Michigan beet producers pressing for a five year no-change guarantee. Senator Burrows indicated support only if a five year non alteration clause is added, but a future Congress could still alter tariffs. Delay could push action past January 31 and end of the session March 4, risking renewal before the Fifty-seventh Congress.
