Craig of Philadelphia, an importer, favored a re- writing of the molasses section to pre- vent manipulation of the product to es- cape 1-6 of a cent duty per gallon. The duty now ranges from 1-6 to 1-2 of a cent per gallon. Craig said imported blackstrap did not come in competition with domestic products.
