SummaryResumen
According to the newspaper, the administration withdrew pending commercial treaties signed with Spain and Santo Domingo for re-examination, having concluded that it was inexpedient to enter into engagements that did not cover entire traffic. The treaties were deemed improvident because they required the United States to surrender large revenues on sugar for inadequate considerations, offered illusory relief to consumers, risked embarrassing questions under favored-nations clauses, and diminished independent control over tariff regulations and revenues.
A tenor del rotativo, el ejecutivo retiró del Senado para su reexamen los convenios comerciales pendientes con España y Santo Domingo, por juzgar inconveniente asumir compromisos que no abarcasen la totalidad del tráfico. Se reputó que los pactos eran lesivos porque demandaban a los Estados Unidos renunciar a considerables ingresos tributarios sobre el dulce a cambio de contraprestaciones insuficientes, ofrecían una desgravación ilusoria a los consumidores, entrañaban compromisos delicados bajo el principio de nación más favorecida y restringían el control autónomo de la recaudación y las tarifas arancelarias.

withdrew for re-examination the treaties signed
with Spain and Santo Domingo, then pending be

me of the inexpediency of entering into engage
ments of this character not covering the entire
traffic. These treaties contemplated the surren
der by the United States of large revenues for in
adequate considerations. Upon sugar alone du
ties were surrendered to an amount far exceeding
all the advantages offered in exchange. Even
were it Inteuded to relieve our consumers, it was
evident that so long as the exemption but partial
ly covered our importation such relief would be
illusory. To relinquish a revenue so essential
seemed highly improvident at a time when new
and large drains upon the treasury were contem
plated. Moreover embarrassing questions would
nave arisen under the favored nations clauses of
treaties with other nations. As a further objec
tion, it is evident that tariff regulation by treaty
diminishes that independent control over its own
revenues which is essential for the safety and wel
fare of any government. Emergency calling for
an increase of taxation may at any time arise, and
