MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Possible Topics for Discussion with
Dr. Carlos Prio Socarrás, President
of Cuba
The Cuban Foreign Minister has informed Ambassador
Butler of several topics that President Prio desires to
discuss during his visit to Washington this month. A
list of these topics, together with a summary of each,
is submitted below:
1. Larger and Stable Share of United States Market
for Cuban Sugar. Cuba's share of the United States sugar
market under the Sugar Act of 1948, which expires in 1952,
seems relatively fair and reasonable. This Government
is grateful for the role played by Cuba during the war
in furnishing sugar and will, of course, continue to
recognize Cuba's historical position in this market.
It is considered most unlikely, however, that sugar
legislation more favorable to Cuba than the 1948 Act will
be enacted within the foreseeable future.
Cuba has benefited material Iy this year from Commodity
