What VIII Probably Happen II W.

What VIII Probably Happen II We
Discriminate In Cuba's Favor.
Senator Lodge has been understood
to favor the Cuban treaty because all
its injurious effects would fall on other
states than Massachusetts, while that
thrifty and God fearing commonwealth
would reap a large share of its benefits,
but his introduction of resolution
looking to the establishment of retalia-
tory tariffs against countries found to
discriminate against our products is SO
direct and telling a blow against the
Cuban humbug that we are disposed to
credit him with designs to defeat 1t. 1t
brings the senate face to face with the
inevitable consequences of ourselves
discriminating against Europe in favor
of Cuba, with the intent to secure
thereby Cuban trade now held by Eu-
ropean nations. If we ratify that
treaty as amended in the finance COM
mittee, we covenant with Cuba that
during its life we will discriminate in
her favor against all European sugar
by 20 per cent That means CONNER
cial war with Europe, as does any
treaty which would give us an advan-
tage over Europe in Cuban markets
and Cuba a similar advantage in our
markets.
That Europe understands the situa-
tion and is ready to act is sufficiently
apparent by the action already taken
in the German reichstag looking to the
denunciation of all treaties containing
the most favored nation" clause with
countries in any way discriminating
against Germany. That means us. Our
state department is willy If not states
manlike and Is quite as strongly COM
mitted to all other reciprocity" trea-
ties as to that with Cuba and, as we
have before repeatedly pointed out, I'M
questionably expects all other treaties,
pending or contemplated, to be ratified
as the result of European protests
against the Cuban treaty. Some of
these treaties hit New England as hard
as the Cuban treaty hits us, and, as
Senator Ledge is no fool, he doubtless
sees it, ana, while still keeping himself
solid with the administration" by
avoiding open opposition to its pet
treaty of all, has taken this method of
showing to the country exactly what
we are asked to go up against. Events
are rapidly forcing the discussion of
this Cuban business In its broader as
poets, and that, we are convinced, must
assure it's defeat If American senators
are worthy of their name and have not
all degenerated into office brokers'
