Concessions to CUbn.
All this does not alter the fact, how
ever. that legislation granting tariff con-
cessions to Cuba will be enacted at this
session Of Congress. A bill will probably
be passed by the House Of Representa-
tives: but If not. the legislation viii be
secured by means Of an amendment in the
Senate to the Philippines bill or to one
OF the appropriation bills.
The Administration is committed to
some legislation. The President and the
Secretary OF War have not weakened,
but their views are not being strongly
urged at present because they feel conf
dent that as the moral sentiment in the
country strongly favors Cuban legislation
the United States is in duty bound TO en-
act it. and that il viii be brought about in

BY some peculiar process of reasoning
the claim is MADE that the action Of the
House Committee on Ways and Means
in deciding TO report a bill wiping out
the internal revenue war taxes means
that there is to be no legislation at this
session for the relief Of Cuba.
This claim seems to be based on the
assumption that because the Surplus in
the Treasury is to be reduced to the ex-
tent OF seventy or eighty millions Of dol
lars II win not be possible to further re-
duce 1t by making tariff concessions TO
Cuba
Senators and Representatives who were
Instrumental in having the proposed leg
islatiOn considered declare that one sub
jet has nothing whatever TO do with the
other The revenues are to be reduced
because they are not needed and because
the war taxes were put on with the un-
derstanding that they were Co DC taken
on when he state of the Treasury would
permit II was decided soon after Con-
Eress met re reduce or wipe out altogether
the war taxes. and there is. therefore.
nothing surprising I'm the action Of the
Ways ard Means Committee.

be necessary to provide for reduction
commensurate with the estimates of re-
coipts and expenditures. Nobody knows
how much money Congress viii spend.
That viii depend upon the fate Of various
measures now pending
Il is evident TO everybody that the stu
alton in the House growing out of the ef-
forts Of the beet sugar men to prevent
reduction in tariH rates on Cuban i'm
portations is very much mixed. to say
the least. Some OF the Republicans on
the Ways and Means Committee are de
termined that there shall be no Cuban
legislation If they can help it.
GraSpinE Mt Strayvs.
They are, therefore, very glad to put
every possible straw in the way Of a bill
to give Cuba the relief demanded. and the
internal revenue reduction straw is as
grateful to them as anything else
It was stated at the House Of Repre-
sentatives by one Of the most prominent
Republicans on the Ways and Means Com
mittee that action was FASTENED by the
threat Of Republican caucus to consider
every question relating to proposed tariff
legislation Of any kind. and that If such
a caucus had been called il would have
served to demonstrate to the country the
bitterness OF feeling that has been
aroused among the Republicans over the
question OF tariu concessions 20 Cuba.
This difference OF opinion is apparent.
and cannot be denied any more than can
the difference existing on the same sub
ject between the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture and his colleagues in the Cabinet.
