INVITATION TO CUBA
ISLAND ASKED TO BECOME PART
 or UNITED STATES.
Representative Newlands Introduces Resolution Requesting the Repub- lie to Accept Territorial form
 of Government.

Washington. Feb. 5-Representative Newlands of Nevada, of the Ways and Means Committee. who was the author of the resolution annexing Hawaii, today introduced joint resolution inviting the republic of Cuba to become a part of the United States, first as territory and then as a State of the Union, to be called the State of Cuba, also authorizing 25 per cent reduction of duty on the pres ent crop of Cuban sugar. in consideration of Cuba's granting preferential rates to the United States.
 reduction of duties to the period prior to January 1, 1903.
 Mir. Newlands, in explanation of his resolution, said:
 ''The Cuban Congress will meet in Feb ruary, Cuban government will be organ ized and the United States will then leave the government and control of the island to it's people. Cuba then will be in a po- s,tion to express her will and 1t Is only necessary to tide over the present emer- gency by a temporary measure such as nave tntroduced, reduclng the uuty on Cuban sugar one-fourth for one year, and inviting Cuba to become a part of the United States under territorial form of government, under the Constitu- tion her people to be citizens, not sub jects, with the assurance that ultimately Statehood will be granted.
 By coming into our political union. Cuba will secure immediately the highest degree of freedom and with it large market for her varied products. These products will not threaten our sugar in- dustry so seriously as they would under reciprocity arrangements. for the reason that the restricted labor laws of this country will apply and will raise the cost of production to such an extent as to prevent over stimulation of our indus tries while her supplies will be bought in the high protected markets of this coun, try instead of the cheap markets of the world.
 When the time for Statehood comes. Cuba, Porto Rico and other West Indian islands in our possession can be incor- porated into the Union as one State, thus doing away with the danger of over-rep- resentation in the Senate.'
