SUGAR TARIFF IS
Up TO Committee
70 Persons to Appear Before

representatives of the domestic and
foreign sugar industry had pre-
pared evidence today to press con-
flicting proposals for changes in i'm
port sugar duties before The house
ways and means committee hearings
on tariff revision.
A controversy on the sugar tariff
has been hanging fire for several
years and the committee expected
one of the most determined fights
on revision since it began hearings
two weeks ago with a view to read
justing the existing tariff structure.
Producers and refiners of canc
and beet sugar from the United
States. Cuba, the Philippines. Ha-
wall and Porto Rico were represent
ed in the witness list. The informa-
ton they will present will form the
foundation for a decision which will
interest every consumer and pro-
Queer of sugar in the world.
The existing duty on raw sugar is
e.20 cents a pound and on refined
1888 cents. under the preferential
trade treaty with Cuba.
That country is allowed a 90 per
cent reduction and pays duty of
1916 on raw and 1.9l on refined.
Increase Favored
An increase in duties and limi-
tation on Philippine imports, now
duty free, was understood TO be the
program of American producers of
cane and beet cugar. On the other
side ranged the Cuban. Philippine
and other producers and American
importers and consumers. who
either want a reduction or mainte-
nance of existing rates.
Domestic beet and cane growers
had from three to more than a doz-
en- witnesses to battle for an In
crease, while the insular possessions
and Cuba were ready to oppose this
proposal through importers repre-
sentatives and their delegates to
congress. Several representatives of
the house also were on the witness

manufacturers and economists.
A reduction In the existing sugar
duty was proposed by the tariff
commission in a to . decision four
years ago, but no action on this rec
ommendation has ever been taken
by President Coolidge. Three years
ago the executive announced he
would reconsider the report if world
conditions warranted, but the case
has been in status quo since.
