HAVANA, March 1.—Efforts of sugar Industrialists in Cuba to have the gov- | ernment lift its present sugar crops and grinding curtailment act and to secure | dissolution of the co-operative exports agency are believed to have failed. Authoritative circles reported that the effort for freedom in Cuban sugar cane growing, grinding and marketing had been lost by industrialists, and that previous plans of the government for restriction would. remain. No official announcement, however, has been made. It is understood that the government considers curtailment of crops, restric- | tion of grinding and unified marketing | of raw sugar as essential to the wel- fare of the industry, as well as provid- ing evidence to the American beet- | sugar growers that Cuba does not seek | world control. | —_—— UNCONSCIOUS 26 DAYS. @alifornia Boy, With Temperature of 107, in Criticel Condition.
