INCREASED SUGAR
TARIFF IS FOUGHT.
Shortage Forecast in Event
of War Involving Pacific
Islands.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A claim that the United States
might suffer serious sugar shortage
in the event Of war which isolated
the Philippines, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico was made yesterday to the Tariff
Commission in an argument against
raising the duty on the Cuban product.
1t came from George T. Walker,
president of the MatanzaS Sugar Co.
of Cuba, who was the final witness at
q five-day hearing to determine whether
the present 2-cent-a-pound duty
against that country should be in
creased to benefit domestic producers.
Arguments Tomorrow.
Arguments will be made tomorrow,
after which the commission will take
under Amusement the application by
domestic producers. Under the flexible
provision of the tariff act, the rates can
be raised or lowered by so per cent OF
the existing duty.
Before walker testified, group of
United States producers argued that the
Cuban product is seriously interfering
with their business and that If protec-
tion is not obtained they will have to
curtail operations or move their re-
fineries to Cuba.
Walker said the tariff increase would
injure greatly the Cuban industry and
if this country became engaged in war
1t might have unpleasant repercussions.
At present, he explained. both Cuba
and the United States combined are not
producing enough sugar for domestic
needs. He added that if the supply of
the other countries were cut off the
American housewife might not be able
30 keep her sugar bowl full.
Imports Declared Increasing.
j. II. Lieneau of New York, president
pf the National Sugar Refining Co., told
the commission:
Every pound of refined sugar that
comes in from Cuba replaces pound
of refined sugar produced in this coun-
try. And the imports are increasing"
Another official of the same company
Ellsworth Bunker, vice president
said its earnings last month were
$150,0G0 Gin the red" after they had
consistently declined" of late.
A number of witnesses testified that
because of low costs of production in
Cuba that country could lay down its
product in this country at such figure
that it was cheaper than that domesti-
cally produced.

Actually there is no such thing in
Cuba as civil government" Col. Men
dieta declared. THE military has
swept aside not only property rights but
the rights of life itself"
Charge Never Barred.
In his own case. Col Mendieta said,
he was arrested and was never informed
OF the charge against him. He said he
was given no civil hearing and was de-
prived of all rights under the constitu-
ton by the military authorities.
"They sent me to one prison for six
months and to another for five months.
and I don't yet know what was the
Vial &c IIlc.
What was done to me has been done
to hundreds of others and is being done
now to thousands" he continued. "You
may be walking along a street or be in
your home when the secret police arrest
and imprison YOU

the Machado government cannot last
much longer"
Politically, Cuba is in more dire
straits today than she has ever been"
he added. "The civil courts. including
the Supreme Court itself, have been
deprived of their authority. Time and
time again the Machado government
has swept aside the decisions of the
Supreme Court"
Scores Dictatorship.
Mendieta asserted that liberty. life
and civilization itself" are being ground
under the heel of what he terms the
"Machado dictatorship"
He was asked If he had aspirations
Tor the presidency of Cuba
My heart is too heavy over the suf-
fering OF my people for me to give
thought to such an eventuality," he re-
pied. Il am concerned in the restora-
ton Of the liberty of Cuba. not in who
may be at her head when that liberty
is restored.
Give my countrymen their rights to
lie and property. Give them the lib
erty that is supposedly guaranteed by
the constitution and I will be happy to
live in Cuba as one of her private
