Cuban Reciprocity Bill Amended Passes House
The amended Cuban reciprocity bill clears the House by 247 to 52 after a heated debate. Republicans and pro beet sugar interests backed the change to drop the differential on refined sugar, while Representative Roberts of Massachusetts tried to remove duties on hides and was defeated. The measure would set a reciprocal trade pact with Cuba once it becomes independent, reducing duties by twenty percent and maintaining sugar duties under the agreement to 1.82 per pound until December 1, 190.
