Senate Democratic Leader
johnson today predicted prompt
agreement on the $251 million
depressed areas bill passed by
the House last night.
The Senate had approved a
1889 million measure, and a
Joint conference committee will
work out the differences with
out too much trouble" Senator
johnson said.
This is the kind of action
that should appeal to Ameri-
cans" he continued. 1T is not
a dole. 1t is not charity. 1t is
not relief 1t is, instead, the
kind of measure that helps peo-
pie to help themselves"
Senator johnson made no
reference to reports that Presi-
dent Eisenhower will veto the
bill, but said he hopes it will
become law.
The 201-184 margin by which
the House passed the Demo-
cratic sponsored measure last
night fell far short of a two
thirds majority which would
be needed to override a preSi-
Dental veto.
'5S Veto Recalled
The bill, passed by the House
after nine hours of parliament
tary jockeying and IA time
consuming roll calls, would pro-
vide $198 million more than
President Eisenhower proposed
last year. Mr.. Eisenhower We
toed a $289 million measure
in 1858.
The bills purpose is to pro-
vide Federal loans and grants
totaling $251 million to urban
and rural areas suffering from
chronic unemployment and loss
of industry.
1t would provide SIS million
in loans for urban industrial
development, SIS million in
loans for rural area develop
ment, $50 million in loans for
construction of public facilities,
$35 million in grants for public
facilities. $4.5 million for
technical assistance grants,

Republicans who Joined in the
delaying tactics, seemed to have
the upper hand. The "calen-
dar Wednesday" procedure re-
quires that a bill be disposed of
in one legislative day. Back in
1850, on an FEPC bill, the
House stayed in session until
$3.50 am. and took IL roll calls.
Finally, amid increasing irri-
tation especially by Speaker
Rayburn, this parliamentary
show died down and the stage
was set for the call Of commit
tees. When Mr.. Spence called
up the depressed areas bill, Re-
publican Leader Halleck OBJ
jected to consideration of the
measure. He lost on a roll call,
220-l71.
Actual debate on the bill it
self then lasted less than three
of the nine hours the House
was in session. The final roll
call for passage showed 178

lchases of sugar abroad also is
considered now to conflict with
the general United States policy
of discrimination.
Cuba has been supplying
almost 10 per cent Of the raw
sugar the United States pur-
chases abroad.
In the past, the United
States justified this special
treatment on the grounds that
Cuba was willing to stockpile
raw sugar to meet unexpected
demands in times of crisis,
such as the Suez Canal seizure.
Helped by Geography
Cuba's preferred position in
the American sugar market de-
veloped because of her geo.
graphical position only 80 miles
of the United States shore and
her status as the worlds lead
ing sugar producer.
During World War II the
United States bought most of
Cuba's sugar exports under an
arrangement that was mutually
beneficial. The United States
needed u usually large
amounts of sugar, and Cuba,
being virtually cut off from
European markets, was able to
supply this country with little
risk that the ships carrying it
would be intercepted.
The quota system was de-
veloped in Congress after
World War II. It recognized

Under the system which has
existed UP to this time. the
people of Cuba. particularly
those who labor in the cane
fields and in the mills, have
benefited from the maintenance
Of an assured market in the
United States, where Cuban
sugar commands a price well
above that which could be OBJ
tained in the world market.
These benefits also reached
Evening star., 1960-07-07

the already established Cuban
position as the chief sugar eX-
porter to the United States.
Under the quota system the
United States agreed to pay
certain foreign suppliers, not
only Cuba. but also the Philip
pines, Mexico. and some other
nations-the American domes-
tic price rather than the world
price which was often lower.
This was to protect United
States producers of cane and
beet sugar from low labor cost
competition or from dumping
by nations producing huge sur
pluses.
The United States is acting
to diversity its foreign sugar
supply before acute shortages
occur because it takes up to
three years to bring newly
planted cane into full produc-
tion.
Until the end of this year.
Cuba will still retain its posi-
ton of top preference in the
American sugar market.
Some time before next jan
uary l Mr.. Eisenhower must de-
eide whether to resume sugar
purchases from Cuba on some
newly determined quota for
1861.
The new Congress, however,
is expected to reopen the whole
question Of sugar quotas when
it reconvenes. The sugar bill
President Eisenhower signed
into law yesterday gives him
the power to set Cuba's quota
until March 81, 1861.
The President yesterday de-
signated Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Benson as his agent in
new suppliers of sugar
to compensate for the Cuban
cuts.
Mr.. Benson is expected to
move swiftly to contact foreign
since domestic stocks
are known to be inadequate.
Cuba stands to lose between
$50 million and 500 million be-
cause of yesterdays action by
the President. If the Castro
regime can market its sugar at
world prices the loss could be
held to around $50 million.

longing eyes at the opening in
the United States sugar market.
Mexican suppliers said they
could fill the entire 100000 tons
Of sugar Topped of the Cuban
quota and at cheaper prices.
Amanda Labayen, acting
chief of sugar exports in the
Philippines, told a reporter, I'VE

United States any minute we

The Soviet Union. which to-
day named its first ambassador
to Mr.. Castro'S government, was
quick to take UP the Cuban
Prime Minister'S cause against
the United States. A Tass dis
patch from Washington termed
the cut in the sugar quota IAN
act of undisguised economic
pressure brought to bear by the
American monopolies on the
Cuban revolution"

I have today approved legis-
lation enacted by the Congress
which authorizes the President
to determine Cuba's sugar quota
for the balance of the calendar
year 1860 and for the three
month period ending March 81,
1861. In conformity with this
legislation I have signed a proc
lamation, which in the ma
tional interest establishes the
Cuban sugar quota for the ball
anee of 1860 at 39.752 short
tons, plus the sugar certified
for entry prior to July 3, 1860
This represents a reduction ot
100000 short tons from the
original 1860 Cuban quota Of
3,119,655 short tons.
This deficit will be filled by
purchases from other free
world suppliers.

that country for such large

that we would fail in our obliga-
ton to our people if we did not
take steps to reduce our reli-
ance for a major food product
upon a nation which has en-
barked upon a deliberate policy
of hostility toward the United
States.
The government of Cuba has
committed itself to purchase
substantial quantities of goods
from the Soviet Union under
barter arrangements. It has
chosen to undertake to pay for
these goods with sugar-traded
at prices well below those
which it has obtained in the
United States.
The inescapable conclusion is
that Cuba has embarked on a
course Of action to commit
steadily increasing amounts of
its sugar crop to trade with the
Communist bloc, thus making
its future ability to fill the
sugar needs of the United
States ever more uncertain.
