It will not affect the price of sugar in this country. but the prospect of reciprocity. and the prospect of annexation. I admit. will have some unfavorable effect upon the future extension of beetsugar production. But I claim that it will rest largely in the imagination. I asked the sugar producers who appeared before the Ways and Means Committee which they preferred. reciprocity or annexation. and they replied annexation. because they knew that our immigration and contractlabor laws would apply. This bill applies to them also. but who is to enforce them? A proper enforcement of the law depends upon annexation.
