Am nnVnti heet and Porto Khan cane sugar interests asked the senate finance committee today for a duty of two cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar, while Louis iana cane producers and manu facturers urge that he duty be made 2.5 cents a pound. The rate proposed in the Fordney bill i3 1.6 cents a pound, an increase oi a sixteenin oc one rem Underwood law duty and the same rate in fjree under the emergen cy tariff act. Spokesmen for the American beet and eane interests, in; con cluding presenation of case, de clared that their industries were threatened with destruction and would be forced to suspend if the present duty were continuea. This would leave the American field open to the Cuban cane in dustry, they said, adding that ev ents last year when raw sugar wen to 22 4 cents a pound indi cated what would happen to Am erican consumers under such a condition. The witnesses said the issue before congress was whether tht- American sugar industry, which now supplies half the nation's needs, was to be sacrificed to Cn ba. They said there was a dis position to Injure Cuba and that if production in that country was reduced to somewhere near the pre-war total of 2,000,000 tons, or half of the amount consumed annually in the i'nited States, the Cuban industry could be put back on its feet.

They and the beet sugar industry spokesmen also declared that the Cuban producers had 1,250,000 tons of sugar from last year's crop which "they were threatening to throw on the American mar ket at one cent pound. In a brief filed with the com mittee, Gray Silver, Washington representative . of the American Farm Bureau Association, sugges ted that the maximum rate on sugar be made 1.6 cents a pound with authority given the presid ent to Increase this rate "if it should become evident that Ainer lean producers were losing ground to the detriment o the country. other contained gifts for the men and presented by the ladies, live tables of "SOO" were played.
