SAY HE WILL STICK
President Retains His Original
Views as to Reciprocity
with the Cubans.
STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN PAYNE
In Which He Notes the Points of the
Three Propositions Under
Discussion.

Washington. March 6.-The follow.
Ing authorized statement was made
Public at the White House last even
ing: Any statement that the presi-
dent has changed his attitude on the
Cuban reciprocity business is without
the slightest foundation in fact"
Payne Also Issues a Statement.
Chairman Payne. of the ways ana
means committee. gives out the fol.
lowing authorized statement in con
nCction with the discussion over Gu
ban reciprocity: Il think the large
majority of the Republicans have
made up their minds that we must
do something for Cuba. There are
three propositions presented which
have this prOfeSSed end in view The
proposition of Mr.. Morris. of Mime
sofa. provides for an increase in the
tariff on sugar to the outside world
ana Il rebate on sugar imported from
Cuba. 1t does not seem to me thai
many Republicans are willing to in
crease the duty on sugar.
Opposes the Tawney Proposition.
''Then there is the proposition of
Mr.. TIwn6y to vote between $1,000
OOG and SSOOO.OO0 directly into the
Cuban treasury. and To ask the Cuban
government to distribute about $1,000
600. according to his figures. to native
Cuban planters. This first payment
is to be paid without any compenSa-
tiOn from Cuba in ANY way or manner
IA pure gift To the Cuban govern
ment. II hardly needs the opinion of
q lawyer TO say that such Il procedure
would be unconstitutional. His Dropo-
sitiOn further is to pay 4 like sum
yearly on the granting of reciprocal
concessions and the passage of our
immigration ana exclusion laws. OF
course. no bounty Of this kind could
bc distributed without n scandal and
n fraud.
FavOrs the DingIey Reciprocity.
The third proposition is that for 4
20 per cent reduction of duties. Cou-
pied with the provision To extend our
exclusion laws to Cuba no one ap-
pearinG before the committee ON ways
and means contcndcd that il would
injure home industries. All agreed
that the price of sugar to the Ameri-
can consumer would remain the same.
Nur would il inuTe TO the benefit Of
the sugar trust.
