MICHIGAN MEN
OPPOSE TREATY
President So Informed by Sens-
tor Burrows.
AMENDMENT is NECESSARY
WHAT PRODUCERS DESIRE Is
STABILITY OF RATES.

Washington. Jan. 1O.-For three days
representatives of the beet sugar in
dustry of Michigan have been in con-
ference in this city. not only among
themselves and other beet sugar pro-
ducers from other states, but also with
the Michigan delegation in congress.
Senator Burrows. who last spring
opposed the Cuban legislation then
pending, has been prominent in the con-
fe-cnces.
Today, Senator Burrows had a long
interview with President Roosevelt,
during which, it is understood, he in
Dictated to him that the Cuban reciproc-
ity treaty now pending in the senate
was not satisfactory to the beet sugar
interests of his state and that it was
likely to encounter serious opposition
unless it could be so amended as to
provide that the concessions made to
Cuba as to tariff rates should remain
in force for five years.
After mature consideration of the
treaty. the Michigan sugar producers
had concluded that il was open TO OBJ
lection in that ii did not insure Stabil-
ity of tariff rates for any clearly speci-
fied period. What the producers chief
~ desire is stability of rates, which
would enable them to put additional
capital in their industry and develop it
further with some assurance of sue
cess.
The strong lntimatiOn is that unless
an amendment can be made to the
pending treaty fixing the rates between
this country and Cuba for five years,
the Michigan congressional delegation
viii feel constrained to oppose Tatifi-
cation of the treaty. In this OppOsi-
ton, ii is said, the Michigan congress
men win be Joined by others represent
Ing sugar producing states.
So far as is known. the president has
not indicated what his attitude might
be in regard to the proposition To
amend the pending treaty.

ceived today and, still following the
routine practice, was referred to the
judge advocate general II that Of
