Owing to the success of European
bounty-fed beet sugar in killing the
West Indian cane sugar industry--fOr
which Great Britain is clearly respon-
sible-nearly all the sugar estates have
been abandoned. Fruit cultivation has
been substituted to a large extent but
this cannot support Il teeming popula-
ton of 100000 as the sugar industry did
and could. The result is that the island
is today overrun by thousands of un-
employed and for the most par starving
laborers--negroes, of course.

Should the Spaniards decide to do this,
it viii be because they wish to excite
the pity of their creditors and of other
nations. The cortes may then be asked
to endorse their action. The Spaniards
may even prefer a resumption of hos

refusal 10 share their financial burden.
