CUBA LOOKS TO POST-WAR ERA

Country Depends on Sugar Production as the

Budget Balancer.

By ROBERT RUARK Times Special Writer

HAVANA, Nov. 12.—Cubsa is depending on all-important sugar to haul her out of her present eco-

nomic hole, even though one million| -

tons of this year’s crop are sure to be left standing in warehouses be-

cause of shipping difficulties. What _

Cuba hopes is that the unmoved surplus won't affect the United States’ desire to buy future maximum crops. } Logic says that if 1,000,000 tons of 1942's production is left standing—with the bulk of purchase price already paid — then America’s inclination toward 1943's output would be slightly less enthusiastic. But the brokers’ outlook is well-mirrored by Julio Lobo of Galban-Lobo, one of the island’s largest commercial houses. “We are- practically sure of hav-

allied nations,” Lobo says. “We anticipate the creation of a world-wide stockpile of sugar here, with the unmoved surplus being - used for post-war purposes. And we hope Cuba will be allowed to share in the profits of that post-war sale.

For Post-War Market

“The United States has subsidized cotton and other commodities in South America, in order to protect those markets for the present and

to assure a sufficiency for post-war. 2

There is no reason for such a thing cannot be done with sugar.”

Lobo, like other Cuban industrial- |p ists, is impatient with his govern-|§

ment for not forcing the island to make fuller use of the natural products. He says that, with skilled la-

Cuba’s average annual gasoline|-

is amply able to fuel its vehicles!,

year. : Cuba’s supply of high-test molasses touches more than 100,000,000 gallons a year. It is Lobo’s idea that alcohol from 'this molasses,

plus the natural naphtha, will more| } than provide the necessary 70,000, 000 gallons of motor fluid. Alcohol

and gasolin mixtures, called mofuco, also have been tried and proven satisfactory in Cuban busses.

For years the island brought in its rice from the Far East, Louisiana and Texas, until shipping difficulties cut short the supply. Now that the government has ordered the planting of rice and peanuts for cooking fat, the native reaction is one of almost childish amazement that Cuba is capable of supplying its own staples.

state of turmoil. War has brought problems which have amazingly complicated the usual intricacies of Latin legislation. Price administration, economic maladjustment and the impending draft have the gov-

ernmental palace in a whirl. So heavy is the rumor crop that Prime Minister Carlos Saladrigas recently announced penalties for persistent rumor-mongering. With elections coming up in the fall of ‘43, the island is betting feverishly on the future government setup. Gen. Batista has announced he will not run again for the presidency. Privately, he als¢ has said that he has uncovered no logical successor, although Saladrigas is widely cited as the next man to sit in the big boss’ chair. Probably Cuba's strongest po-

litico, apart from Batista, is° Jaime Marine, head of the sports commission and general straw boss for the president. But Marine's Spanish birth bars him from the presidency. Betting among the inside-trackers is that Batista’ will install someone like Saladrigas as president, and thea keep a firm hand on the government from the premier’s seat. Cuba’s government, already semiparliamentary, could be adapted to a stronger-form. Cuba’s eventual fate as a nation may well be decided over the next couple of years. It could rear up on its: hind legs as a full-grown man, muddle along as per usual, or rush blindly «dnto the comforting arms of Uncle Sam. All Cuba needs

right now is a strong fist in its back to propel it in any given direction.
