Mr. Chairman. this is a bill to reduce the tariff 20 per cent from the usual rates on goods. etc.. coming from Cuba to this country. subject to the provision that Cuba will grant a reasonable reductionin its tariff rates on goods which we send from here there and will also adopt our immigration and Chineseexclusion laws. I am in favor of the bill. I favor it largely for sentimental reasons. While it does not seem to me that we owe this to Cuba and that. therefore. in granting it we are not paying an obligation. yet we can afford to do this as a gift to that island.
