OF ISLAND
Divide IN VIEWS
Transfer of Danish West indies to In
Gle Sam Discussed at st.
Thomas.

St. Thomas, Danish. West Indies,
Aug. 11.-(Corresponden of The AS
ISOLATED Press -Opinion on the is
land of ST. Thomas is divided as to the
desirability of the transfer of the Dan
ish West Indies to the United States as
proposed in the pending treaty be-
tween the United States and Denmark.
That the chief foreign interests on
the island are opposed to the change
in sovereignty there seems no doubt,
while there is by no means a unanimity
of opinion among the inhabitants
themselves, largely, 1t appears, be-
cause of the uncertainty as 10 what
use the harbor of st. Thomas, the is
lands chief asset, would be put to un-
Ger the proposed new ownership.
So far there has been little public
discussion of the subject, although not
little establishment or resentment is
freely expressed because the inhabi-
tants were not consulted by the au-
thorities in Copenhagen before the ne
gotiations had progressed so far.
Uneasiness among the people as to
the changes the transfer would neces-
state has to do with the new laws, the
system of taxation and the introduc-
ton of foreign capital that would fol-
low. but most of all, with the status
of the splendid harbor, with the posi-
bilities and development of which the
life and welfare of the inhabitants are
linked.
The fear is widely expressed that IL
the harbor were turned into a fortified
base in connection with the Panama
canal defenses, the development OF st.
Thomas as a commercial port might
be interferred with or stopped. Should
this condition result, it is unQuestion-
able that the republic section of the
community would prefer the islands to
remain Danish.
There are many however, who think
there are great possibilities for i'm
proved conditions for st. Thomas, has
ing their opinion on the reliance that
should the transfer occur, American
force, pride and business methods
would redeem the declining island,
| beneftting it just as Porto Rico has
been benefited.
