outlet for its great national trade in coffee
is in and through the United States, imposes
a heavy export duty upon that product. Our
petroleum exports are hampered in Turkey and
in other eastern pvrts by restrictions as to stor-
age and by onerous taxation. The free, out
| ward movement of our great food product is in
| some quarters clogged with like impediments.
For these mischiefs adequate relief is not always
provided by reciprocity treaties like that with
Hawaii, or that lately negotiated with Mexico,
and now awaiting the action of the senate. Is
1t not advisable to provide some
! measure of equitable retaliation IN relations
with governments which discrim mate against
our own? If, for example, .the executive were
empowered to apply to Spanish vessels and car
goes from Cuba and Porte Rico, the same rules
OF treatment and scale of PEI alties for technical
faults which are applied to our vessels and car
goes in the Antilles a resort to that
course might not be barren in good results.
