SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. Sept. %
Charles H Robinson, NJ. A M D., of
the Universities of Edinburgh and Lon
don, has been spending a few days in
San Juan prior TO the arrival OF the
French transatlantic steamer homeward
bound which will take him to Havre,
whence he will cross the Channel to
England.
DR.. Robinson has Travelled extensively
through Europe, Asia, Africa and the
United States, and is just concluding a
lengthy tour through the West Indies
His note book teens with valuable in
formation, which on his return to Great
Britain he intends to place in book form.
In speaking OF the West Indies, he
says:
with the exception of Cuba, Santo
Domingo, Jamaica, Porto Rico and Trim
idad. but gloomy future awaits the
islands and islets that form the West
Indian archipelago. Commercially they
are now of very little significance, and
what little Importance they still have is
daily decreasing.
Tired of Islands.
1.-THE British, Danish and Dutch gov
ernments have practically grown tired
of their Improbable West India posses
sions and continue to hold them because
Of the lack OF a feasible and satisfactory
means of relieving themselves of the
burden
The French West India Islands are
very small and very poor, yet on ac-
count of the fewness of their number
and their importance to the French
government their condition Is by no
means so precarious as that of the large
group of little British islands, nor az
that Of the extremely small and ,prac-
tically barren or otherwise unproductive

What would most likely ameIiorate
the condition. or rather reduce the ad-
West Indies would be to bring them
under a confederation, making Jamai-
ca. for example. the largest and wealth.
lest of them. the seat Of government
Confederation Is. however, strenuOuSiy
opposed by the majority of the Islands
that are perfectly aware that they
would not or could not become the seat
of government.
Possible Change
Another practical solution OF the
economical problem would be for these
little islands 10 be ceded to the United
States. but this the patriotic British
islanders will not for a moment consid-
er-at least, at present-and they assert
| in their majority that they prefer 70
lead a penurious existence under the
British flag than TO enjoy life OF
comparative prosperity under the Stars
and. Stripes There is. however, no
knowing what time and a change OF
policy on the part OF the United States
and Great Britain may bring about
