OPPOSITION TO

opposition is developing to the ratih-
cation OF the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
now pending In the Senate. 1t is not
taking quite the form tnat the opposi-
ton TO the Cuban legislation took last
spring. bu; II Is sufficient In substance
to give concern to the friends Of the
treaty. The President is confident OF
early ratification.
Several weeks ago II appeared that
the treaty. when presented to the Sen
ate, would be ratified without difficult
ty. but some senators now are taking
as strong grounds against the treaty
MS they took against the legislation
proposed at the last session Of Con-
grcss.
These senator's are OF two classes
those who are opposed on principle Ia
any 'tariff tinkering." and those who
represent states whose products may
be affected by the concessions extend
ed TO Cuba by the pending treaty.
Senators OF the hrst class might be
Induced TO support the treaty. inns'
much as II does not involve. In their
view, an attack on the system OF pro.
lection. were II not for their apprehcn-
| sion that the ratification of the Cuban
treaty may lead to demand from
other countries that they. too. be nc.
