TO REMOVE DUTY ON SUGAR
Reported that England Intends Soon
to Relieve West Indian Product
of Import Tax.

LONDON. March SIT Is learned by the
Associated Press that the British govern
ment intends In the near future to remove
the half-penny per pound duty which is
now imposed on West Indian sugar. This
win afford the West Indies the relief they
have demanded until the Brussels conven-
ton comes In force. Between now and
September. 1905. according to the terms Of
the convention, Great Britain can lake any
steps she deems advisable to safeguard the
industry.
The abolition Of the duty on West Indian
sugar is tantamount to giving It prefer
entail treatment over all other sugars,
though this. Of course, ceases the moment
the Brussels agreement becomes operative.
According to representatives of the leading
sugar houses here, the immediate effect
will be to bring to English ports the West
Indian sugar. which is now going to Ameri-
can markets. A delegation Of leading
West Indians, whom the colonial ONCE con-
suited this week on this matter, declared
that unless something of the kind was done.
the West Indies would be ruined before the
new arrangement could commence working.
