Opponents Fear If Compact Is Ratified
Other Nations Will Demand Like
Concessions Special Session of
Cuban Senate Called.
Washington , Dec. 30. Consldcrabla
opposition is developing to the ratifica
tion of the Cuban reciprocity treaty
now pending In the senate. It IB not
taking quite the form that the oppo
sition to the Cuban legislation tool ;
last spring , but it is sulllcient in sub
stance to give concern to the frlontls
of the treaty. From tlmo to time , aa
opportunity offers , the president la
discussing the matter with senators ,
particularly those who arc known to
liavo objected to the enactment of
eglslatlon extending tariff conces
sions to the Cuban republic. Several
weeks ago It appeared that the treaty
when presented to the senate would
bo ratilled without dilllculty , but some
senators are now taking as strong
grounds against the treaty as they took
against the legislation proposed at
the last session of congress.
Some senators fear that ratification
of the Cuban treaty may lead to a do
inand from other countries that they ,
too , be accorded the special tariff
concessions by the United States.
The president , It Is understood , bo
Hoves that the treaty with Cuba will
bo ratified.
