Abstract
- This article focuses on economic issues in the U.S., Soviet Union and Europe. The U.S. has agreed to reduce its duty on Cuban sugar by six-tenths of a cent a pound, and to make substantial concessions in the duty on leaf tobacco-the two most important Cuban exports. But in both cases import quotas are to be imposed restricting Cuban sales to a specified amount. The Soviet policy in any case is to reduce short-term indebtedness. Most of it was contracted under the emergency of the Five-Year Plan, and at a time of expanding world trade. By joining the International Labor Organization, the U.S. has aligned itself with fifty-eight other nations in the common task of improving working conditions throughout the world.
