CUBAN SUGAR IS
GIVEN A BOOST
ATTORNEY GENERALS DECISION
ADVERSE 70 THE CLAIMS OF
LOUISIANA PRODUCERS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Observation-Disclosures sugar grow
ers lost the second round of their
light to keep up the duty on sugar
when Attorney General McReynolds
handed down an opinion that Cuban
sugar is entitled to enter the United
States at all times during the life of
the present reciprocity treaty on pay
ment OF a duty of 20 per cent less
than other sugars.
The Louisianians contended there
was a conflict in the new tariff law
between it's reaffirmation of the Cuban
reciprociay treaty, which provides for
a 20 per cent preferential for Cuban
sugar, and that part of the law which
provides for a general reduction of the
duty on sugar of Is per cent, beginning
March /. They hoped the attorney
general would find that there could
not be a reaffirmation of the treaty
and a reduction in sugar duties.
The attorney generals opinion, how
ever, will result in an almost immedi-
ate reduction in the rate on Cuban
sugar, keeping it as now 20 per cent
under other sugars. After March /
Cuban "95 per cent" sugar will be
admitted to the United States on pay
1nent of a duty of about one cent a
pound.
The attorney generals opinion was
sent to Secretary OF the Treasury Nc
Adoo, the customs collectors to be
notified of its purport before March
/. Any further action by the sugar
growers probably would be in the
supreme court. Suit might be brought
TO determine judicially. the question
Of conflict on which Mr.. McReynolds
has ruled.
Representative Broussard of Louisi-
ana said that while the decision of
the attorney general would not make
any difference in the volume Of the
sugar business between Cuba and the
United States, as this country takes
all of Cuba's crop, there is a quantity
of Cuban sugar in the bonded ware
houses in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and New Orleons, where refiner-
les are located, being held to await
decision SO as to take advantage of
the double reduction, effective Mon
day, March /. 1t means. he said, a
saving of millions of dollars to Ameri-
can refineries of Cuban sugar.
