Senator Pettigrew. of South Dakota.
has proposed an amendment to the tariff
bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty.
Senator Blanchard. it is understood,
is making considerable trouble for the
finance committee by his protests
against the proposed changes in the
sugar schedule. The Louisiana senator
is holding out especially for the contin-
uation of the bounty for the present
year. He also calls attention to the
fact that the finance committee has
backed out Of its original proposition to
abrogate the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty. which permits the sugar product
of that country to enter free and
is reported as saying that the sugar pro-
dueers of his state would be greatly in-
jured by the sudden reduction of the
bounty as proposed by the committee.
He has put forth the claim that the
proposed change is in violation of
Democratic caucus agreement, and in
timated in very plain language that If
the changes are made as proposed the
bill will not receive his support.
Mr.. Blanchard has appealed to his
colleague, Senator Caffery, to join him
in making determined fight against
the proposed changes. but it is under
stood that Mr.. Gallery While dispieased
with the changes does not feel disposed
to go to the same length that MIR.
Blanchard has to preserve the present
sugar schedule intact.
