with the leading men of these colored inhab-
itants, and it is surprising how much they
know about the conditions mean in polit-
ical sense-of the United States. They do not
overlook the fact that your country offers
many more opportunities for the industrial
development of their island than ever Den
mark will be able to give to them, but at the
same time they do not forget that it is doubt
full if they would receive such liberal treat
Inent from the American government as they
do from the Danish government.
The same feeling holds good with regard
to st. Thomas. where the blacks also far
outnumber the whites You see, in the Dan
ish West Indies the negroes have all the
rights of citizenship that are possessed by
the whites. They have an untrammeled fran
chise and they have full representation IN the
colonial council. Now, these colored peopi
who each have a vote quite understand that
while the blacks in your country are .osten-
sibly entitled to the privilege OF the FRANCHISE
they do not always get it, especially In the
southern states. Consequently the colored
population of the islands will oppose to a
man any effort to hand them over to the
American government, and their wishes Will
not go unheeded in Denmark.
AS regards the reports which have arisen
from time to time that Germany was nego-
tiating for the purchase of the islands, Mr..
Won lessen said that Denmark would never
sell an acre of it's possessions to Germany
Denmark and the Prussian government, ne
explained, had so many antagonistlc interests
that Denmark would never sell the ISLANDS to
Germany, and, indeed for somewhat similar
reasons would never sell to any other Euro
pean power.
