Washington on, Jan. 31.-Secretary Wilson
is not in harmony with the Cuban recipro-
city Ideas of President Roosevelt, and the
rest of the cabinet. He strongly opposes
tariff concessions on sugar and tobacco
and has had leading experts of his de-
ways and means commit tee in opposition
to those CONCESSIONS.
Wilson'S attitude, and the presidents
characteristic habit of striking straight
out from the shoulder whenever he en-
counters opposition, have led to revival
of the rumor that Wilson may leave the
cabinet should the senate, as is now pro-
posed, overmatch the house by granting
concessions in the form Of a treaty with
the new republic Of Cuba.
No more may be heard OF the Wilson
matter, but should Cuba get nothing, it is
predict ed that the agriculture portfolio
will be too hot for Mr.. Wilson to continue
holding it. Obviously 1t would be un-
wise from every viewpoint for the presi-
dent to have in the cabinet men not in
sympathy with his policies, regardless of
whether these policies are right or wrong.
