Washington—Accumulating evidence of communist domination of Cuba’s political and economic policies under Castro appears to have produced increasing sentiment in Congress for a revision of the preferential status Cuba long has enjoyed in our sugar market.
Fore several weeks, there has been awaiting action in the House of Representatives a bill to extend the present sugar marketing law for oise year in substantially the same terms. The law is due to expire December 31, so this Congress is required to make a decision on our sugar policy before it adjourns.
Without direct reference to its possible use as an economic lever against Castra, President Eisenhower has asked Congress to give him discretionary authority to revise the quotas alloted Cuba and other producing areas when believed necessary or desirable in the ■national interest. The House Committee on Agriculture decided against this proposal and recommended leaving Cuba’s preferential position undisturbed. In recent days, though, it has been indicated the Committee majority had experienced a change of view.
