The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Cuba (Norweb)

715. ReEmbs 807, Dec. 17. Advise against sending commission to Washington to discuss stabilization agreement. Cuban Sugar Commission was told recently that Agri could not consider renewal of price stabilization agreement. Now that Cubans have been offered another substantial increase in price of sugar, we cannot justify renewal of the preferential treatment for Cuba involved in this agreement.
