men are even enlisting. Really,
l find the Jamancans more en-
thusiastic over being a British
possession today than they used
to be before the war broke out.
Then annexation to the United
States was popular subject, but
now any such talk is considered
treachery.
War or no war, the fact still
remains that both Jamaica and
the United States would be better
off to have England sell the
island to us. II may some day
be a serious complication to have
Jamaica and the other English
possessions between us and South
America. The best thing for all
parties would be for us to buy
these possessions of England or
else trade them for the lower part
of Alaska, which extends down
