Plans are being laid for a trade agreement affecting particularly the island, for the refinancing of a “back-to-theJand” ‘movement. Reconstruction One Phase The whole economic structure’ lof the one-crop-eountry may be headed into'a new path, for re- construction of the: political struc- fture and repair of the damage wrought by mob fury in Havana constitute but one phase of the problem which the de Cespedes administration faces. | American direct investments in Cuba are larger than in any other country except Canada, amount- ing to about $930,000,000 in 1930. according to government financial experts. _ The value of American invest- ments in the Cuban sugar indus- try, whieh has been ina desperate plight owing to low prices, was figured at $540,000,000. Communication and transporta- tion systems are second among American ‘investments in Cuba in the amount of capital involved, the railroads aggregating some $117,000,000. Tenth Depression Year This year has been the tenth of economic contraction for Cuba, with conditions Sd worse in the last 18 rs Mi ed cipal causes were the low prices for sugar, the greatly reduced de- mand for cigars and tobacco pro- ducts, and slow markets for fruit and vegetables. As government revenues from customs ahd taxes fell short of, expectation, taxes and tariffs were boosted, political sentiment was highly disturbed and acted as a deterrent to commercial activity. Foreign Trade Daclines Cuban foreign trade declined in 1932 to an estimated $110,900,- 000 of which $61,800,000 con- sisted of exports and $49,600,000 of imports. This represénted a jdecrease of 48 per cént in value from the 1931 leyel of exports and 82.7 per cent under the ex- ports of 1925. Cuban trade with the United _|States which has been the islands best customer has declined in pro- creases. In 1925 the United States bought $264,000,000 worth of Cuban products, principally fsugar. In 1982 Cuban exports to [this country were valued at only. $57,482,000, while.in. the first honaster of 1983 the decline econ- |tinued. | The United States is the big ‘consumer of Cuban sugar.
