SUGAR QCARREL BLOCKS
 --'--. ACTION ON TARIFF BEL

Washington, Aug. 7.-Tne buocking of efforts to obtain immediate action on the Harrison sugar investl yatiUn resolution and an impassioned denial by Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, that he had proposed In a letter to Major General Crowder, American representative to Cuba, reduction in the duty on sugar In return for the limitation of this years sugar crop to 2,5o0.ooO tons marked senate consideration today of the sugar schedule of the tariff.
 Senator Harrison twice sought to call up his resolution, but was .thwarted
 Senator Smooth, asserted that the pro- posal to limit the Cuban crop had come from Cuba, and that his letter to- Gen eral Crowder had been written after Sen ator Portuondo of Cuba, and General Crowder had called on him at his office here on January 24 last and Senor Port uondo had proposed limitation of the Cuban crop and an increase of ten per cent in the tariff differential in favor of Cuba. The Shoot letter was dater Jan uary 30 and follows:
 I hope you will lay before the presi- dent of Cuba my attitude towards the sugar industry, both of Cuba and of the United States.
 MT. Babste, of the American Sugar Refining company, is doing all he can to arrange matters so as-to export at least 500,000 tons ,.. of sugar to Euroye have agreed to do all in my power to secure the passage of a joint resolution authorizing Cuban sugar to come into the United States without cent of duty, providing 1t is refined in bond and shipped to any country outside the United States. This will do away with the financing of sugar in bond and assist the refiners greatly in securing foreign market for Cuban sugars
 T am sure the limitation of the Cuban crop of sugar, for the present year, to 2,500,0o0 tons will be a solution of the problem, not only for Cuba. but for the United States as well. So sure am of this that I think that ii would be wise to have incorporated in the pead- ing tariff bill rate If duty of 5-i cents per pound, which would make tBe duty on Cuban sugar -1l cents per pounds. I am sure that Hon. Eugene Meyer of the war finance corporation. is ready to assist in financing the sugar re- liners on their exportation of sugar to fofeign countries.
 T snail be delighted to hear from ycu as quickly as possible after yoGr ar rival in Cuba, advising ire of .he re- suit of your conference with tine pres ident. I have had the sugar schedule in the pending tariff bill passed over un- i til l hear definitely from you"
