rates In return for the admission TO Cuban ports
or certain products of the United States on
specially favored terms.
HOW RECIPROCITY MIGHT BE EFFECTED
While 1t is not considered likely that the
Cuban Congress will be elected and installed
until late next summer or early in the fall. still
the United States Congress. or rather the SEN
ate. can anticipate this event with offer Of
reciprocity which would induce the Cuban legis-
lators 10 hurry their work. and the entire reel
procity scheme could through this means, go
into effect at the earliest practicable date
What measure of tariff reduction would be pro-
vided for by the Senate is matter of detail
that probably will be arranged within the next
two or three months. The suggestion of %
per cent reduction on sugar. and a fiat reduc-
tion OF the tariff on Cuban tobacco TO a basis of
30 cents pound, is more frequently heard In
responsible circles In Washington than Is any
heavier concession At the same time there is
pretty strong free trade sentiment for Cuba
among an influential element of Senator's. and
IT is considered not wholly impossible that this
may prevail in the end.
