CUBANS DECLARED
LOYAL TO AMERICA
President Machado Foresees
U. S. Farmers Affected
by Sugar Duty.

HAVANA, March Replying to the
question placed before me by The Star
and the North American Newspaper AL
lance regarding the consequences that
may follow the increase of the duty on
sugar and its effect upon Cuba and our
relations with our powerful and friendly
neighbor, wish to acknowledge the
courtesy shown in asking the question
and to say do not intend to mix in
matters which every people must resolve
according to their own point OF view
and needs. Besides, consider it pre-
mature to express an opinion on mat
ter still in debate, or until the American
Congress determines the rate definitely.
Has Confidence in Cubans.
It can be said, however, that the in
crease would not be favorable, but ]
have confidence in the persevering char
acter of my people to confront the
change with success.
The strong and perSevering attitude
the American sugar growers have shown
in fighting to obtain for themselves a
victory the Cubans should take as q
guide, without vacillation, and believing
in their own efforts to secure final sue
cess In the development Of their do
nestle resources.
With respect to the relations between
Cuba and the United States. the roper
cussions will be those inevitable to the
economic order.
The Cuban people are stable in their
affections to the point Of sacrificing
their own interests when necessary, as
our sugar growers proved during the
great war. Never will we relax our cor
dial friendship for the Government at
Washington. This has been proved by
our vehement demonstrations to the
American Government even during the
course of the tariff discussions.
Consumer Field Endangered.
If the Cuban people should sink in
poverty to the extreme Of depending
upon the cultivation of their virtues
more than their resources or natural
markets, of course, 1t would be impos-
sible. for Cuba to rank, as it does today,
as the first customer proportionately Of
the American induStrialistS and farm
ers. Neither couqld we offer to Amer
lean companies established among US
the wide field that the Cuban people
have offered to them and which we
wish to continue to offer them for the
benefit of their investments.
But all Of this would be only the in
evitable repercussion created by meas
ure which seems likely to reduce the
economic potentiality of Cuba in the
event Of the adoption Of the new duty

for the miller finds 1t more profitable
to operate at no profit, or even slight
loss, than to shut down pending receipt
of new orders.
Another factor entering into the
price of -four Is the varying premium
which the baker must pay for partictI-
lar kinds of blended flour. This may
amount to from 8 to IS cents a bushel
for the finer grades of wheat. Thus,
when the price Of ordinary wheat falls
to low levels, as at present, the large
baker who sets out to buy q supply of
flour to carry him for six months or
so may find that the milling companies
are operating at high rate and earn
ing substantial conversion charges"

Two Journalists Of Czechoslovakia
Reach Washington After Two
Years Of Adventure.

Sixty dollars versus $4,000 miles-or
seeing the world at the rate of q hun
dred miles per dime.
That was the problem, many months
ago, of Jerry Formanek and Charles
Tullxa, two young journalists of Czecho-
slovaIxia, now hiking and writing their
way around the world. They represent
the Presse Service of Prague, the largest
news service organization in Czecho-
slovakia.
Leaving Prague nearly two years ago
with an individual stake of $50 and the
derision of scoffers in their ears, the
two young men, harassed by Persian
bandits, blinded by desert sands and
buffeted by typhoon seas, have more
than half-circled the world.
In five months, by hitch-hiking,
they have toured the United States.
And this Spring, after q little jaunt
through Western Europe. they win have
rounded the globe, by virtue of a
sixty-dollar stake and an inventive pen.
Today the young men hoped to in
clude the signature Of President Hoover
in an autograph book. which contains
the names Of world prominent per-
sonalities, from the Danube to the
Potomac.

REED HITS RADIO
COM MISSION RULING

Threatening the Federal Radio Com
mission with congressional investiga-
ton and q complaint to President
Hoover unless it gives his State a
square deal' in broadcasting facilities,
Senator David A. Reed, Republican, of
Pennsylvania has hit the radio war
path.
The Senator. an administration stall
wart. charges the commission with dis
elimination" against Pennsylvania in
the distribution of stations, power and
time of operation. 1t is the first con-
greSsional repercussion to the commits
sion's recent adoption of a unit system
OF measuring the distribution of facil-
tiles among the States and zones
Under this unit system PENNSYLVANIA
IS SHOWN to be the most "under-quota"
State in the Nation, lacking about nine
units, or the equivalent of nine stations
OF 1000 watts power each. In the
country there are actually ABB such
units, whereas the commission has eS-
tablished the arbitrary figure of 400
units as the maximum that should be
allowed.
Senator Reeds first broadside against
the commission is in the nature of a
letter to Chairman Charles NICK. Saltz-
man. Because of the commission's
discrimination" against Pennsylvania
he wrote, there are perhaps a million
or more families in the State who ara
entirely without satisfactory radio re.
ception."
Not only Pennsylvania, but the en-.
tire tier OF States in the East-Centra'
radio zone are below their proper broad
casting quotas as prescribed by thu
radio law, according to the Senator
UNLESS the commission is willing tc
take steps to correct this condition
shall feel impelled to carry the case
to the President. the press, and Il
necessary. to Congress" he wrote.
I would like to have a general state.
ment from the Radio Commission witt

increased. All four cities are important
