cause they depended largely upon
the United States for a market for
their products and for transporta
ton facilities, and they have feared,
perhaps unnecessarily, that prefer
ence to Canada would invite retalia-
ton by the United States. Jamaica
now supplies something like 17,000,-
900 bundles Of bananas annually to-
the United States market, and, nat
urally, is anxious not to offend it's
rich customer.
Ordinary commercial treaties at
best are of uncertain life and the
suggestion of ratification by the
British Parliament has been put
forward to overcome this objec
ton and to afford to the British
West Indies such assurance Of a
permanent market in Canada, in
stead of one of indefinite duration,
as would justify them in incurring
whatever risk there may be Of an
tagonizing powerful interests in the
United States. This plan has as it's
principal exponent in Canada r. 3.
Macaulay, Of Montreal, president
Of the Sun Life Assurance Company
of Canada, and also president of the
Canadian-W West Indian League. Mr..
Macaulay processes to see almost
insuperable objections to a political
union, and has said that "thc idea
that Il Canadian federal election
might turn on the vote of the Brit
ish West Indies would be equally as
as the controlling Of West
Indian affairs by Canadian major
ity."
The political union project, on the
other hand, has a strong advocate in
the person of H. j. Grove, a Cana
dian cosmopolite of means, business
associate Of Baron Beaverbrook, and
the man who had much to do with
the negotiations leading up to the
foundation Of the Harmsworth en-
terprises in Newfoundland Mr..
Grove has spent much time in recent
years in the West Indies, and has
done much to educate the peo-
pie of Canada and those of the West
Indies to the dcsirablty of closer
relations for their mutual advan-
tagc. He makes out plausible
case for political union, urging the
inclusion of Newfoundland, as well,
in a Greater Canada Confederation.
His programme has met with en-
couragcment in the United King
dom, and also in Canada and in the
West Indies, and he has been gain
ing some newspaper support. He is
his efforts, believing that
nothing short of actual political union
could provide such permanence for
closer trade relations as is necessary
to attract Canadian, British and for
elgn capital and to promote the full
development of the colonies.

Guiana, perhaps, has profted the

In general it may be said that
the West Indian colonies have bene-

reciprocity agreement of 1912. The

ports to the West Indies proper
showed no perceptible gain, while

'POLLYAN|VA,' THE CLAD
 PLAY, COMES FRIDAY

The glad play "Polyanna,' is as bracing as a mountain climb. It sends the blood about its business of health, and gives tone and gladness to the body. It does more and better, by keeping the lamp of good nature burning brightly in the heart. and leading thoughts away from the mean and chilling things of life. The char acters of the famous play are brought before us by men and women who are foremost in the theatrical profession, which means and evening of perfect good cheer, for Pollyanna in its glad nature and purpose is the most notable dramatic production of recent years. IL radiates the sunshine of living puts heart into the weary laden, and sweps away the shadows of trouble as the sun does the mist. The magical Polly anna steps right out of the book We all know about. ringing out gladly the spirits of youth and health. introduces you to all the quaint characters of the New England home, and before you know it, you are under the spell of the happiest and most enjoyable play now before the public.
