TREATY1 WITH CUBA
ARRANGEMENT BY BRITAIN
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, February 26.
A commercial agreement with Cuba was signed at Havana on February 19, and is now in force provisionally. United Kingdom goods are to be treated in Cuba hot less favourably than those of any other country—apart from special treatment given to United States goods—and Cuban goods are to enjoy most-favoured nation treatment in the United Kingdom.
Cuban duties on certain United Kingdom linen and woollen piece goods are reduced, and the Cuban Government undertakes to consider sympathetically requests for further tariff readjustments. The agreement also provides that British insurance entex-prises shall not be subjected to legislation imposing more onerous conditions than those already applying to the conduct of their Cuban business. The Cuban Government recognises the necessity for alleviating the position of United Railways of Havana, a British undertaking, and promises sympathetic consideration of requests put forward to that end. ■
The agreement is to run until December, 1937. There is also an exchange of notes precluding action which would prejudice the present position of British shipping in Cuba.
