ry in endeavoring to create sug-

IF you had been content with
limiting your imports of sugar to
their former figures and had even
created legislation so that the in
creased consumption would have
gone to your own planters, we
would not have complained.
But you not only demanded
the benefit of your increased
growth, but also stole from us by
very unjust means the industry
which We had so industriously de-
yeloped to meet your wants and
at your own urgency"
/ have quoted my Cuban friend
at such great length because his
remarks bring out fundamental
which is at the bottom Of all for
eign trade relations.
Before the United States can get
the good will of Cuba and the
rest of these islands we must re-
wise not SO much our tariff as
our tariff principles. We must
recognize that, although we have
the right to encourage home in
dustries of other nations!
/ am not pleading for free
trade.
So long as other nations erect
tariff walls perhaps we must do
the same SO far as these nations
go.
