CUBA IS QUICK TO HIT BACK IN TABIFF BATTLE Out-Grundies Grundy With Retaliatory Duties on U. S. Products. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS SrrlppS'Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. May 23.—With startling and rather disconcerting promptness, Cuba has come right back at the United States, announcing a tariff against American products that out-Grundies Grundy. Her people literally facing ruin and starvation largely as a result of our high tariff against sugar, Cuba has retaliated by hiking duties against a long list of things, principally the foodstuffs which we have been selling her, anywhere from 50 to 300 per cent. Some $30,000,000 worth of American products, mostly farm, immediately are affected. If congress needed a concrete example of how its super-tariff activities will affect business in this country, through

foreign retaliation, Cuba has lost no time in providing one. According to the United States department of commerce, commercial Attache Todd, at Havana, reports that, effective at once, a Cuban executive decree 'effects a large increase in the rates of import ! duty on live hogs, sheeps, goats, and ! a long list of meat and dairy prodi ucts,” canned goods and so forth. Salt pork, for example, must pay I $9.60 per 100 kilos (slightly over 200 ■ pounds) instead of only $3 as heretofore. Butter, cheese, canned milk, hams, lard, beef, eggs, codfish and many similar products of this country henceforth are subject to tremendous increases, and some of them, classed as luxuries, must pay a surtax of *0 per cent in addition to the basic rate. The reason for Cuba’s sudden action is plain. Sugar is her one big crop. America is her principal market. With a high tariff already affecting this crop disastrously, and anew, 12'i per cent boost written into the Hawley-Smoot bill, Cuba realizes she is doomed to misery unless she acts and acts promptly.

more convinced that “aviation is and will continue to be the principal arm of national defease,” he writes in a new book. “Skyways," published today by the Philadelphia house of Lippincott. ' Most of the volume is devoted in nontechnical language to the development of modern aeronautics but in his chapter on “Aviation of the future,” the former director of Military aviation returns to the attack on “those interested in the continuance of the obsolete battleship.’* The days when General Mitchell startled official Washington with such views are recalled when the author says “financial interests” favor the battleship “because it uses a great deal of steel and fuel and

necessitates the maintenance of great shipyards.” “Without doubt,” he goes on, “when passenger-carrying aircraft become an economic necessity, they will be opposed by the railroads, bus lines and in some cases steamship companies, who will not like to see their passengers taken away from them. Already in the United States, the navy and transportation interests have taken hold of aviation, bag and baggage, so as to control it for their own advantage, greatly to its detriment. Any new

development has to take these things into consideration.” Daring predictions as to the future of aeronautics are made by General Mitchell. The following, taken at random from the chapter, are indicative of his faith in aviation: “There is a possibility that . . . we may reach beyond our atmosphere into the unknown spaces, and go from one planet and celestial body to another.” “With equipment that is now being worked out. airships can be built

that will cross the Atlantic in from twenty-four to thirty-six hours.” Giggles Cost $lO Bn T nitrd f’rcx* HELENA. Mont..
