CUBANS PROTEST
BOYCOTT ON SUGAR
will Cause Serious Injury,
Planters Say, Blaming
Move on Tariff.

] HAVANA. May 5.--A commission ap-
: pointed by the Cuban Association of
/ Sugar Planters and Cane Growers to
report on crop conditions has ad-
! dressed the following manifesto to the
people of the United States:
! 1T is to the interest of the Cuban
! producers, more than to any one else.
! that the price of sugar should not be
artificial, or so high as to bring
| about n restriction of consumption.
: But at the sa me time it will not be
/ denied that it is necessary for the
producers 10 obtain remuneratiVe
! prices for their product
Price Under Production.
''Durius 132I-1922 the America II
people received from Cuba 5,o66.2s0
tons OF raw sugar Cor 5l.l0 per cent OF
their total consumption) at an average
price for both years of 3.o1s cents per
pound. not Including duty-that is. at
price which did not cover the cost
of production.
compared with such low prices,
consumers had been led to consider
the present prices as excessive. But.
as a matter of fact, the average price
obtained by the Cuban producers
! this year has not yet reached 4i2
cents per pound 1t must, however,
be taken into account that by rea-
son Of the drought which has pre-
; vailed this years Cuban crop will be
more than half million tons below
the estimates made by the most re-
liable sugar statisticianS. and that
the reduction in the output means a
considerable loss to us.
Tariff Raises Prices Cents
LAS a result of a tariff duty which

granulated sugar. campaign
against sugar has been started,
which in effect is directed agains
Cuban sugar, as at this time of the
Year practically all the sugar avail
able for the American market must
come from Cuba. and should this
ought to take the form of a boycott
succeed in forcing down the present
price of sugar it will bring about
very serious injury to Cuba.
The world sugar production this
year is about 100000 tons below that
of the year 191314. and since there
has been a considerable increase in
consumption it can readily be seen
that ii is necessary to stimulate pro-
duction in order to prevent a short
age of sugar, with its corresponding
high prices. Any campaign therefore
which unduly lowers the price would
be prejudicial to the consumer. whose
interest it is to have an abundant
supply in order not to be compelled
to deprive himself of sugar or to pay

sight of. therefore. that the best
remedy for high sugar prices lies in
the increase Of production.

1T is to be noted that the present
increase in the price of sugar is
world wide and that sugar Is not the

BRITISH MAKE BID.
French Fail to Warm Up to Change
of Heart.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS. May 5.-Indications OF an
apparent feeling in London that Great
Britain would like TO re-enter the
reparations negotiations alongside
France and the other allies are re-
ceived with great interest in French
official and political circles. The gem
eral opinion. however. is that the time
Is not ripe for resumption OF joint
negotiations unless the British gov
errment has experienced great
change of heart and is ready to ap-
prove the Franco-BelGian occupation
of the Ruhr.
II is held, furthermore that the re-
ply to Germanys latest reparations
proposal does not necessarily call for
concerted action By all the allies.
since it involves strictly negative
response to proposition to change
q signed agreement already in effect.
If the reply involved discussion OF
eventual changes in the treaty Of Yer
sailles or in the procedure adopted
by all the allies. it then would not be
only proper, but necessary that all
the allies be consulted, It Is said
Involve Great Difficulties.
T:ven if it were thought useful to
cies here as involving great difficult
ties, since the British cabinet, SO
far as known, still remains opposed
or at best benevolently neutral to-
ward the occupation of the Ruhr.
Marquis Curzon'S reference to the
situation in a speech in London yes
terday is interpreted in some circles
as Indicating an early change of at
titude by the British government to-
ward the application of pressure on
Germany. This would be heartily
welcomed here. as the conviction is
as strong as ever in French official
circles that only by energetic and
vigorous measures can the allies ever
bring Germany to terms.
In his speech before the Primrose
League yesterday Secretary Curzon
declared: We shall only emerge
from the difficult and anxious stu
alton by concerted action. II the
Germans are confronted with the ad-
vice, decisions and actions of all the
principal powers concerned the
chances for success will be greatly
increased"

NOTICE TO RENT AGENT
SUFFICIENT, COURT SAYS
Commission Not Forced to Hunt
Up Absent Owner Under
Decision.

Notice from the Rent Commission to
rental agent of property is sufficient
to meet the requirements of the Ball
rent act and failure to notify the owner
will not defeat determination of the
commission. The District Court of APP
peals makes this ruling in an opinion
by Judge Orion NJ. Barber of the United
states Court Of Customs Appeals, who
sat in place of Justice Van Orsdel.
The opinion was rendered in the case
OF Eloise NJ. Tebbs, who appealed from
a decision Of the Municipal Court
awarding the Union Realty Company
possession of Apartment 16 of the
Prince Karl, 1901 X street northwest.
The court points out that the agent
assumed the position Of landlord and
was the only person known to the
tenant or to the Rent Commission
against whom the complaint could be
made or to whom notice could be
given.
II the agent had brought a petition
to the Rent Commission for an in
increased rental from Tebbs. the court
suggests could the tenant have in
yoked the title Of the owner to de-
feat ii.
Chaplin Brown, counsel for the Rent
Commission. declared today that this
hnding by the Appellate Court will
cause the dismissal of a number Of
Injunction proceedings pending in the
District Supreme Court. 1t also prob
ably will dispose OF the contempt
proceedings pending against the Rent
Commissions counsel growing out OF
one of these injunctions, it is stated.

that the petitioner may not be de-

tor or TO compel such investigation"
