under 30O,000l This links up directly
with Mr.. Hughes suggestion as to a
replacement program, based on fixed
tonnage for each power, to apply only
after ten years OF no building OF any
kind. Then. under the American pro-
posals, Great Britain would be allowed
20 maintain up to 100000 tons in capital
ships. the United States the same, and
Japan 800. 600.
In other words, aften ten years. the
British fleet must be brought down to
the same tonnage basis as the Ameri-
can; while the Japanese would remain
substantially where IT was at the time
of the first reduction. Apparently it is
expected that the British strength
would be reduced sufficiently by attri-
ton, the wearing out OF ships during
the ten-year period.

win not merely lose this rich trade,
butawe will be responsible for the
ruin Of Cuban prosperity which our
previous cooperation built up.
Under a benehcent reciprocity
treaty trade between Cuba and the
United States has steadily in
creased. During the. regime Of the
Wilson Law with Its tax on sugar,
Cuba's chief export to this country,
however, stagnation In our Cuban
trade resulted and lasted until the
repeal of that measure, a result
which viii follow If we repeat the
I experiment Of putting high tariff
on Cuban sugar now. We must re-
member, too, the vast American in
vestments in Cuban industry and
the income to American investors
which would be jeopardized by such
an experiment.
Today 76 per cent of Cuba's in
ternational purchases are from the
United States and a similar proper
ton Of her products are sold to
this country. This accounts for the
close balance of trade between the
two countries, exports from Cuba
to the United States amounting TO
only SIT 100000 more than imports
from the United States to Cuba last
year.
Not merely in volume but in
growth of business Cuba holds a
record among the nations. In fact
practically the only country having
important trade relations with the
United States to which sales in
creased during the last fiscal year
was Cuba To many of the other
countries sales by the United States
fell - from 80 to 10 per cent dar-
ing ihe same rertod. Americas ex-
port trade on the whole fell from
s., 000, 100000 in tire fiscal year
1890 to $4,000, 900, 900 ia the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1921. The
falling off of imports from Cuba to
the United States from S645, ST., S2S

pared to the naval strength maintained
by any power. That means that, as the
size Of the naval force goes down, the
possibilities Of turning merchant YES
sells into warship, but mounting guns
on their decks go up. With few fight
ing ships to meet, armed merchantmen
would be themselves fighting craft
ready for battle with ships OF their
kind. If all navies were scrapped,
Great Britain would have an over
whelming preponderance in potential
naval strength due to her 10000, 900
tons Of cargo and passenger steamers,
as against the merchant fleets of the
United States and Japan.
Apparently the American delegation
was influenced by some such consid-

that the American naval experts have
wen advanced ideas on this matter to
be put forward later IL agreement on
strictly naval limitation seems probable.

Latin American countries combined.
She is fact a better customer than
all South America leaving out
Brazil The only nations in the
world whose total trade with the
United States exceeds that between
Cuba and our country are the United
Kingdom and Canada.
The four leaders in international

Canada ............ 1,31S,406,211
Cuba .............. S23,6S5,SO1
France ..... 5S2, 419, 147
Cuba's purchases from America
cover wider range than that OF
most of our big international Gus
toners. The greater part of our
shipments to the United Kingdom
and France. for example, were food
stuffs and raw materials for man
ufacture. Cuba was a big buyer OF
these articles, too. but we also ship
ped to her big consignments of man
ufactured articles, especially ma
chinery and railway equipment.
Cuba bought from the United States
last year more rails, freight cars. To-
comotives, leather betting and ce-
ment than any other country IN the
world. The biggest part Of our
100000 sale Of sugar machin-
cry last year also went to Cuba.
In fact sugar is the basis Of the
biggest part of our Cuban trade
both ways. If we wish to foster
that trade we must not hamper it
with undue tariff restrictions.
