Sugar Tariff Boosts Prices and Republican Claims
The Senate's sugar action raises the cost to U S consumers by about two cents per pound. U S refineries process about 4.5 million tons of raw sugar annually, with roughly 1 million from U S sources, 1 million from territories, and 2.5 million from Cuba. The proposed tariff linked to Cuban exports would limit shipments to 2.5 million tons and tax Cuban sugar, shifting billions to sugar growers and opponents say it enriches favored interests. The piece also critiques Harding policies and Ohio politics, noting Fess and Thompson dynamics and tariff ideologies amid international trade with Germany.
