It was sent to the House where

The whole matter now is left to

It seems that in framing the be

lake into consideration the. rec
mmendatiens made by the sugar
board through its. president, George

?'commendations in a letter to At

possibility of buying the Cuban
sugar crop but proposed a method

It is asserted that the Cuban su
