EGGEST BANK ISSUES
BULLETIN

| Assaiug the proposed raise in the
sugar dy on the grounds of the
unique lationship existing between
Cuba a. this country and of eco
nonic fly, the National City Bank
of New 1rk in its bulletin on bus
e mess editions, says, "the proposed
D duty so unfair to Cubans and
such a deadly blow to a
peAhoJ whom fate has placed in
close relations to this country that
we cannot forbear further comment
upon the situation"
Ths bulletin recalls the treaty be-
tween the two countries by which
the United States reserved a right of
over Cuba's fiscal af-
fairs, her internal affairs in case of
and veto right upon al
liances between her and other coun-
tries. This treaty it is pointed out,
places the Island in more intimate
position to us than to any other
country. Furthermore, the relation
ship has been particularly satisfac-
tory to the, United States, for, as
stated by the Bank, Gin her years of
prosperity Cuba has bought more of
the products of the United States
than has any other member of the
Union nor
mally one-fourth of all the United
States products sold in Latin Amer
Ca"
The real threat to Cuba in the de-
nand of the sugar protectionists is
seen in the intention to make sugar

the tariff contest may carry over into the regular session beginning in December and thus almost into the days of biennial congressional cam- paigns beginning next spring.
 Senator Borah gave notice yester- day to Senator Watson that any at- tempt at general tariff revision will not permit of a settlement before the regular session opens in De- cember. Watson agr ed it would pc difficult, and for that reason he urged that every consideration be given to disposing of the question.
 Borah countered with the pro- posal to confine the tariff revision 10 the agricultural schedules, and when Watson would not assent to this. the Idahoan disgustedly suggested that congress quit it's work.
 To Vote on Debenture
 The administrations determina- tion to have far mrelief legislation without expert debentures was be fore the house today for a decision which is expected to end the long controversy over this issue.
 For the first time since the sp3- cial session began nearly two months ago, the administration lead CTS in the house were ready to let the debenture issue come to dl- rect vote in that chamber.
 They were confident that the deb- enture proposal would be defeated and that the senate, which has twice been placed on record in favor ot it by the coalition of democrats and republican independents opposed to President Hoover's farm program. would then let the bill go to the White House with the plan elim- mated.
 Opponents Confident
 Their confidence was based on the large majorities they have been able to marshal on all previous ballots during the special session and the results of their intensive efforts to bring back to Washington all ab- sent members who could be count ed on to support the administra- tion's position.

 Lntti Finally Disclosed
 They took off from Le Bourget on Sept. and then for the first time the identity of the mystery member o fthe trip was made public. Lotti. it developed, was backing the flight financially but had kept in the background lest his father wealthy hotel man, should prevent his par ticipating in it as passenger.
 Instead of continuing across the ocean the plane landed in Morocco without gas A leaking valve was blamed for the failure of the flight by the aviators but there was much popular criticism and the earlier en- thusiasm of the people waned rapid ly. Assolant and LeFevre were or dered back to duty in the army. from which they had been given leave for the flight, and the venture seemed to have been definitely ended.
 But Assolant. LeFevre and Lotti had not given up and the two sol- dier fiiers soon resigned from the army and when French government support was withdrawn from Atlan- tic flights from that country the idea was conceived of bringing their plane to this country and flying back.

northwest turned from the Hoove. farm program and lined up twice with the almost united democratic minority for the export debenture farm relief principle. Now come the threats against general tariff re- vision. as demanded by the equally strong eastern wing of the republi- can party. It leaves the east against large section of the west with the cleavage in the republican fold ap- parently as deep as any of recent years.
 Democrats to Cooperate
 Under the vigorous leadership of Senator Robinson of Arkapsas. the democratic lines in the senate held almost intact in the farm relief con- test, permitting . successful coali- tion with the republican independ- ents. Another such combination on the tariff would mean a sharp revi- sion of the house measure. Wheth- CT it will come is still problemati- cal.
 The democrats have given assur- ance to the republican majority forces headed by Senator Watson that they will lend their support 10 the administration desire to dispose of the tariff, if possible. at this extra session. They have declared they do not intend to obstruct. but they have gwen notice that they want plenty of time for revision of the tariff bill on the senate floor. They intend to press for their own tariff program when the bill is framed.
 Senator Brookhart's appeal was to the ''progressives on both sides" Brookhart has often been at odds with the republican administration, but he was one of the most ardent Hoover campaigners last fall in the agricultural regions. While very in- dependent in his course in the sen- ate, Borah has almost always been found on the republican firing line in the campaigns and in the crucial administration contests in the sen- ate. He was most active in the Hoover drive in the campaign.

 The issue was before the house today on the question of renewing negotiations with the senate for ad- justment Of differences between the farm bills passed by the two cham bers. made necessary by the senate's rejection of the conference report recommending elimination of the debenture proposal
 That action, described by Presi- dent Hoover as being one which at best adds further delay to farm re- lief and may gravely jeopardize the enactment of legislation" was greeted with cheers by some demo- crats when formally announced to the house. It was recalled. at the same time. that Senator Robinson of Arkansas. the democratic floor lead CT and chief of the coalition forces that defeated the conference report. had made it clear that if the house voted against the debenture plan. members of his party. at least. would be ready to permit a report eliminat- ing the proposal to pass
 Tilson to Move Elimination
 Upon the procedure worked out at the White House conference at which the republican leaders agreed to permit vote in the issue in the house. which Senator Robinson held to be one of the main points at issue, the formality oI requesting consent for the appointment Of house conferees was placed in the hands of Chairman Haugen of the agricultural committee.

 Although the senate conference committee has instructions to insist on inclusion of the debenture plan in the farm bill. house action giving instructions for its elimination were regarded as likely to cause no pro- longed deadlock, in view of the will lingness of some senate debenture advocates to recede from their DO sition in the event of such an out come of today's vote.

voeN ANthS eNhs ASu"" Washington. June 13 R - The ! senate finance committee today voted down q motion by Senator King. democrat. Utah, that the committee confine it's tariff revision to agricultural products. The vote. II to '. against the motion. was strictly along party lines.
 After rejecting the King motion. the committee received a proposal that agricultural products be placed on an ad >alorerA or percentage basis of tariff protection instead of specific.
 Gray Presents Motion It was presented by Chester H. Gray. legislative representative of the American Farm Bureau federa- tion, who said his recommendation represented ''complete reversal of policy" on the part of agriculture. as, he argued. ad valorem duties had worked advantageously for other industries and he saw no req son why it should not be used for farm products.
 Washington. June 13 R1The rift in republican ranks in the sen- ate over President Hoover's farm relief program seems destined to SC unmended for the present at least with threats of trouble on the ap- preaching tariff contest already sounded.
 The lines for the tariff contest were laid yesterday in the senate while the president was still struggling against the combination of republican independents and democrats there on the export deh' enture issue. Senator Borah of Ida. ho, demanded that the tariff revision be confined to agriculture. Senate, Watson of Indiana, the republican leader, declared for as general | re. vision as was proposed by the house
 President Hoover recommended limited" revision. He is going tc have to make choice, apparently between the Watson and Boraf views, and Watson is the party lead CT and spokesman in the senate. Calls For New Party
 While Borah. the outstanding Hoover campaigner was threatening war against the tariff measure. an. other Hoover spokesman in the cleo. ton contest, Senator Brookhart oi Iowa, was calling for the organiza. tion of progressive party" with a view to the selection of a pro. gressive candidate for president" fir the event the export debenture plar opposed by the president. does no bcome law in the farm relief or tar, fir measures.
