HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS FOR ST.
THOMAS

Two years ago there was a very ambi-
tious project concerning harbor improve
ments for St Thomas through private
company, backed by the Danish govern
ment. Some alarmists saw the possibility
of Germany's acquiring control of this
company. and thereby getting it's coveted
foothold in the West Indies. Tho United
States did not become alarmed, but was
rather inclined to look with favor on the
project. The plans were possibly too
comprehensive and too costly, for the
necessary capital was not obtained.
English shipping interests, which are
strongly intrenched at st. Thomas, fur-
Their strengthened themselves by enlarg-
ing the harbor facilities under their cor
troll. From the present appearances st.
Thomas will have ample means Of provid-
ing coal and of sbeltering vessels, whether
for the canal traffic or for transshipment
to South America.
Some of the people Of St Thomas still
believe that these Danish possessions
should be part of the United States. They
regret that the last time the United States

some of the West Indies with hope that

England. France. Holland and Denmark
are all interested in this phase Of the
canal influence. for they all have West

past some Of them have been willing thar
these colonial possessions should pass

mission was appointed to make an exam
ination into the prospective development
of the French possessions in the Antilles
after the canal was opened.
Locally it was assumed That very
heavy traffic which will pass through the
canal would find the French colonies con-
venient stopping points. and that TINS
would Justify extensive harbor works on
the most modern lines, for which the CEN
trail government would make financial
provision, suppleme nting the resources Oh
the colonial governments for this purpose.
On this main point Martinique and Qua
deloupe were agreed Naturally, when the
modern harbor came to be constructed
Martinique thought that Fort de France
should be the seat of the heaviest expen-
diture, while Guadeloupe held similar
opinion as to Pointe-aPitre.
This local situation may or may not
have had something TO do with the Solo
mon-like decision of the engineering COM
mission 1t found that the building Of a
great modern harbor at either port would
involve an expense out Of all proportion

The establishment of our naval station
at Guantanamo. in Eastern Cuba. has so
changed the conditions in West Indian
waters that the question of coaling or
naval stations at other places now mas
hardly more than academic interest for
the American people. But in the West
Indies they are still discussed as live
questions.
Dutch colonial memories cluster around
Curacao. The island is outside the ordi-
nary tourist itinerary, and most or the
travellers know Of it only i'm connection
with a certain beverage which should be
taken with moderation at infrequent IN
tervals Curacao is also outside the direct
canal radius and little increased trafiilc

fairly good, but they are subject to fur
