CUBAN EXPORT COMMITTEE ON SUGAR 



Action was taken by the Sugar Equal- 

 ization Board on February 6 looking to 

 the authorization of sales of Cuban raw 

 sugar direct to countries other than the 

 United States and the Allies. For this 

 purpose a special committee was ap- 

 pointed consisting of Robert B. Hawley 

 and Manuel Rionda, both members of the 

 Cuban Commission, and Edwin P. Shat- 

 tuck, of counsel to the Sugar Equaliza- 

 tion Board. 



The committee will have its head- 

 quarters in Havana and transactions 

 under its authority will be handled direct 

 with the purchasing countries, but will be 

 subject to the authorization of the Sugar 

 Equalization Board in order that such 

 sales may not interfere with the pro- 



vision of adequate supplies of Cuban 

 sugar for the United States and the 

 allied nations. 



An announcement was issued by the 

 Sugar Equalization Board on February 

 7th relating to this action, as follows: 



"At the earnest request of the Cuban 

 Government the Equalization Board has 

 appointed a committee, to be known as 

 the Cuban Export Committee, consisting 

 of Mr. Robert B. Hawley, Mr. Manuel 

 Rionda, members of the Cuban Commis- 

 sion, and Mr. Edwin P. Shattuck, to act 

 in behalf of the Equalization Board in the 

 matter of shipments of raw sugar direct 

 from Cuba to nations other than the 

 United States and those represented by 

 the Royal Commission on the Sugar Sup- 

 ply.
