HAVANA, March 7.—Replying to the question placed before me by The Star and the North American Newspaper Al- llance regarding the consequences that may follow the increase of the duty on sugar and its effect upon Cuba and our relations with our powerful and friendly neighbor, I wish to acknowledge the courtesy shown in asking the question and to say I do not intend to mix in matters which every people must resolve according to their own point of view and needs. Besides, I consider it pre- mature to express an opinion on & mat- ter still in debate, or until the American Congress determines the rate definitely. Has Confidence in Cubans. It can be said, however, that the in- crease would not be favorable, but I and | have confidence in the persevering :hg; acter olwl E’ people to change success. The strong and persevering attitude the American sugar growers have shown in fighting to obtain for themselves a victory the Cubans should take as a guide, without vacillation, and believing in their own efforts to secure final suc- cess in the development of their do- mestic resources. N pect to the relations between be those inevitable to the economic order. The Cuban people are stable in their affections to the point of sacrificing their own interests when necessary, as our sugar growers ‘flmved during the great war. Never will we relax our cor- dial friendship for the Government at Washington. This has been proved by our vehement demonstrations to the American Government even during the course of the tariff discussions. Consumer Field Endangered. If the Cuban people should sink in poverty to the extreme of depending upon the cultivation of their virtues more than their resources or natural markets, of course, it would be impos- sible_for Cuba to rank, as it does today, as the first customer proportionately of the American industrialists and farm- ers. Neither couqld we offer to Amer- ican companies established among us the wide field that the Cuban people have offered to them and which we wish to continue to offer them for the benefit of their investments. But all of this would be only the in- evitable repercussion created by a meas- ure which seems likely to reduce the economic potentiality of Cuba in the event of the adoption of the new duty.
