Payne's View of It on Cuba Tariff Plan Debates
Washington March discussion on Cuban reciprocity features three main proposals. Morris favors higher sugar duties with Cuban refunds, Tawney proposes direct payments to Cuba and distribution to natives, and a 20 percent tariff cut aims to aid American industry while tightening exclusion laws. Payne argues the 20 percent cut best serves sugar interests and national stability, warning of constitutional issues and long term annexation implications. He notes no cabinet split and counters claims of presidential discord while addressing shipping interest questions raised by Tillman.
