been debated across the conference
table in the State Department. The
United States negotiators have said
to the Cubans, You have been talk
ing for 25 years about the need for
diversiflcation; now is your chance -
Meantime, outside the field of
agriculture, Cuba has been doing a
booming business in mining. Her
production of certain strategic min
erals, the names of which are CEN
sorable, has reached an all-time
high this year and will be sustained
in l943. There is no question Of
finding market and the shipping
for these minerals.
Want Road Machinery.
But Cubans want still more.
There is an unused credit of S25,-
900 900, ear-marked for Cuba, in the
Export-Import Bank. They want
permission to buy and export road

gram is improvement of the Central
highway which runs the length of
the island.

signed and sealed this week, it will

New Agreement Calls
On Cuba 10 Start
Crop Diversification
Butistu's Arrival Here
Comedies With Move
To De-emphosize Sugar
By LEON PEARSON.

The dynamic, swarthy little man
named Batista, who was an army
sergeant one day and the dictator
of Cuba the next, has arrived here,
leaving behind, in Cuban ware
houses, a million and a half tons
of sugar and 16O,0OOOO0 gallons of
molasses
And by the time Fulgencio Batista
completes his tour of the United
States and returns to Havana Gu
ban sugar planters will be ready
to grind new crop, with the 1912
crop still unmoved
In spite of these depressing facts,
Batista's visit will be happy one,
for Cuban commission has been
in Washington for the past two
weeks sitting in big conference
room on the fourth floor of the State
Department and fixing up an agree
ment to be ready for Batista's ar
rival.
The conference was important
enough to bring together full
score of American negotiators. AS
they talked turkey in English.
Raoul Herrera Arrange of the Cuban
Embassy whispered Spanish trans
lation into the ear of Amanda Lo-
pez Castro. Secretary of the Presi-
dency of Cuba. When Lopez Cas-
tro replied in Spanish, most of the
Americans understood him perfectly
we'll, but the translation into Eng
lish gave them time to think up an
answer.
Answer Is to Diversity.
They offered one principal answer
to everything. 1t was one word
Diversity" In short, they told the
Cubans that this was their golden
opportunity to get away from dan
gerous one-crop economy, and that
Uncle Sam was ready to help them
do it.
An agreement will be announced
late this week in which the United
States agrees to buy some-but not
all-of the 1943 sugar crop, and
Cuba agrees to diversity.
Whatever part of the next crop
we buy must be set down as col
laboration with Cuba for we don't
need a single pound of it-in spite
of sugar rationing in the United
States We have already bought,
without moving it, the entire 1912
crop of 3,7250 900 long tons. De-
fense Supplies Corp made the pur-
chase, and Jesse Jones put up the
cash "A total of 1921 100000, at
265 cents a pound.
But that was when we were
anxious to get Cuban molasses for
United States gunpowder and also
when the submarines had not yet
started their dirty business in the
Caribbean. AS 1t is now, the gun
powder is being made from alcohol
derived from United States corn
instead of alcohol derived from
Cuban molasses. And in any case,
we haven't the ships to move the
sugar, despite the fact that no off
shore country should be any closer
to us than Cuba.
To Pledge Peanut Crop.
And yet we are prepared to buy
part of the next crop. It is frankly
a subsidy to prevent the collapse
OF Cuba. The question of what
part we will buy and at what price
will be announced this week. And
Evening star., 1942-12-10
at the same time Cuba will promise

al Vic odllAc tAAlAc SuUd WALL plOdillSc
to plant peanuts instead of sugar.
Peanuts grow like mad in the
Cuban soil, ana We need peanut oil.
AS the economists put it, edible
oils are tight" The new agreement
will guarantee to buy all the pea
nut oil Cuba can produce. Fur
thermore, Cuba could use a lot of
such oil herself instead of import
ing quantities of lard from the
United States.
The agreement also will guar
antee to buy as much fiber as Cuba
can produce-to replace the manila
hemp and the jute we no longer get
from the East.
We will promise to buy large
amounts of corn and beans for the
United States market Not for the
United States market, we will prom
Use to buy all the beef Cuba can
produce. We will ship it to other
Caribbean islands, principally Puer-
to Rica, where the people are starv-
ing.
Also to Grow Rice.
Finally, Cuba will promise to grow
rice-but We will not promise to
buy it. No such promise is needed,
for Cubans eat rice as Mexicans eat
beans, and they are about to starve,
because they can't get their usual
quota of rice from Siam.
These are the items which have

Believe Thrust Against
US. Supply Lines Near
Jops Able TO Move in Any Of Three
Main Directions Against US.

Informed quarters suggested
that those units, having car
ried out a purely raiding and
reconnaissance mission against
the British there, had been
withdrawn eastward in prep
aration for an attempt TO sever
the vital sea route b etW ee n
Australia and this country.
Australia rather than India,
as these authorities see the sit
uation, is Japan's primary mil
itary problem at this time and
since the rapid increase of
American forces in Australia
probably would make front
al assault too costly even for
the japanese TO contemplate,
their logical move would be to
attempt a blockade.
STRATEGY PLANNED
The strategy Of the American
High Command in anticipation
of just such move began UNI
folding as long ago as last Jan
uary, when a task force swept
into the Marshall and the ad-
joining Gilbert Islands, laid
waste numerous base installa-
tons, sank Is ships and wreck
ed Al p j a n at a cost Of ii
American scout bombers.
Since then task forces prob
ably have been in almost con-
slant operation somewhere in
that vast, island studded area.
One such movement was dis
closed when il was announced
M arch 3 that in operations
west of the Gilbert Islands"
an aircraft carrier had been at
tackled unsuccesSfully by 10
japanese bombers, Is of which
Were shGa down, .,.r ..l.a
1t was in line with these prep
arations that American troops
were placed in New Caledonia
and a separate naval command
recently was set up at New Yea
land under Vice Admiral Rob-
ert L. Ghormley.
No one denies that in any
general outbreak of amphibi-
Gus warfare in that region the
japanese would be able to mus
ter considerable strength.
Most authorities believe they
had anticipated and prepared
for the heavy losses they suf-
fered in winning Singapore, the
Indies, and much of the Philip
pines. Virtually all the war
ships they have lost thus far
have been of the older types,
and much of their main force
of aircraft carriers and battle
ships has seen little if any COM
bat.

WASHINGTON, May / Up
- Reports of a concentration
of Japanese warshipS and troop
transports among the Marshall
Islands in the South Central
Pacific gave rise to speculation
in informed quaters today that
a major thrust G ain t the
American supply line TO Aus
tralia was imminent.
The Island of Jaluit, center
Of the area in which the Japa-
neSe apparently are concentrat-
ing, is but 1903 miles north Of
New Caledonia, where Ameri-
can troops landed recently to
join forces with the Free
French. An equal district to
the southeast lies American Sa-
moa, and 200 miles TO the
northeast is Hawaii.
Because of this strategic loca-
ton, Xperts said, the Japs
would be able TO rove in any
Of three main directions or they
could try a series of feints in
ar effort to test A m e r c n
strength and then strike with
full force wherever conditions
appeared most favorable.
First indications of what
seems to be the latest develop
ment Of Japanese strategy were
given in dispatches from Aus
tralia recently saying that the
enemy were gathering ships
and men in the inundated is
lands area. These reports were
linked here with the disap-
pearance Of powerful japanese
naval units from the Bay of
Bengal, off India, about week
ago.

County Tax Collector Frank H.

during the last three or four days
only an estimate can be formed
of the amount of taxes that was
collected during November. There
are still many accounts to be
checked up and even many checks
to be enumerated for deposit, Mr..
Laid said today, but approx
mately he figures the collections
for November will total about $780,
900.
No comparison can be made
with last year, he explained, be-
cause Tax Collector Joseph Nc
Mahon did not receive the tax roll
until December l, but of one thing
he is certain, Mr.. Laid added.
more people are paying their
taxes this year than during any
other period in the history of the
county.
Mr.. Laid, at the end of this
month, will not be able to make
any comparison with the collec-
tons in. December of last year,
because Sexactly a year ago this
afternoon Tax Collector Joseph
Mcmahon died suddenly in his

the office was closed from De-
cember l till three days before

MacARTHUR'S HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Somewhere in Australia,
Dec. 1.-Allied artillery and Am
erican planes are pounding the
JapS at Buna and Coma on New
Guinea, according to official re-
ports issued today. =
The Jap force at Coma has been
cut off from the main base at Bu-
ma, the report said The Austral-
ianS are fighting the JapS at Coma
and the Americans have launched
a drive against the Japs at Buna
that threatens to throw them into
the sea.
While the land fighting was 60
ing on today an evenly matched
dogfight took place between II
Jap Zeros and a similar number
of American P-40s. When the
fighting was over, seven Jap
planes, with fire streaming from
their tails, plunged to the earth.
Two American planes were de-
stroyed, but their pilots are safe.
All is reported quiet today at
Guadalcanal. A report was re-
ceived from there of an American
bomber that went to sea, 300 miles
from the Solomons, and dropped
five bombs on or near a Jap
transport, leaving it in a sinking
condition.
