Committee Okays Cuba Sugar Bill
Washington report says the House Agriculture Committee approved a bill giving the president authority to cut Cuba’s sugar quota if needed. Cuba calls it economic war and vows to retaliate. Cuba fixes minimum three cents a pound on sugar for world markets while raw sugar price drops. Fidel Castro warns American property seizures in Cuba in line with any quota cuts. US officials say about a third of American properties in Cuba already seized. The committee previously favored extending the current quota to avoid provoking Castro.
