denmark.
The recent strike of negroes in the |
Danish West Indies has reopened the
old question of the sale Of the ISLANDS
to the United States. II the question
OF the sale comes up again in the
Danish rigsdag the general beliet IS
that it will receive a favorable ma
iority in both houses, provided the
United States offers greater sum
than $4,000 offered in 1901. NJ,
Hageman, the wealthiest planter in the
Danish West Indies. has just pub
lished pamphlet on the situation
from the point Of view OF the most
influential Danish resident of the col
ony. Mr. Hageman favOrs the sale
In the pamphlet he recognizes the ef
forts made by the Danes to improve
conditions in the island, but views
thek future under Danish rule pessi-
mistically. He particularly points out
that the population is decreasing
alarmingly. Infant mortality, he says,
Is very high, having recently reached
63h per cent The sanitary conditions
in the islands are very bad according
to Mr.. Hageman. The pamphlet says
the economic conditions for the time
being are fairly good, as the sugar
| crop Is excellent. This. however, Is
| not considered by M. Hageman as
| sutf cient and he expects return to
| bad coalitions as soon as the prices
| Of sugar have fallen. Some years ago
| q bill was presented to congress ask
ing an appropriation of $4,000,000 to
| buy the Danish West ladies', which
| were considered OF both commercial
and strategic value, especially with the
completion Of the Panama canal The
| project fell through. In 1910 Den
mark offered to sell the islands to the
United States, but before the transac'
| ton could be closed the offer was
| withdrawn. The Danish Archipelago
| includes the islands OF St. Thomas. st
Croix and st. John.
Leading American newspapers have
declared In favor of the purchase OF
! the Danish West Indies by the gov
eminent of the United States. They
hold that the United States cannot af
ford to let the islands fall into the
hands of European powers who would
doubtless be glad to obtain them. anC
they would be of great value to Amer
