Barbados, FEB. 9th The Associated
West Indian Chambers of Commerce
resumed their deliberations this morning
by the consideration of existing telegraph
ic communication and decided having
regard to the loss, mutilation and delay
OF messages, and of the vital necessity
of maintaining efficient communication
with the United Kingdom and Canada,
and with each other, without passing
over foreign territory, to urge the Secre-
tary of state for the Colonies lmme dlately
to appoint a representative Committee to
decide what steps can be taken to provide
the efficient. reliable and all British
system required.
It was further recommended that if
nossible the services Of the lireless ex-
pert now in the West Indies should be
obtained in order to report on the posi-
bilities of improving and establishing
wireless communication within these
colonies.

Great Britain's financial strength or
weakness. London today, as before the
war, is the monetary centre of Europe.
Great Britain was forced to supply the
credit needs of the Continent as we'll as
those Of her own traders The dollar ex-
change is really New York, European,
not New York London Exchange. Rri-
tain is neither bankrupt nor anywhere
near it. Although her external debt is
larger thar ever before in history. This
debt has been incurred mainly to supply
the needs of her continental Allies and
she is owed approximately twice as much
IS she owes America, and while the Uni
ted States may fairly expect to collect
all it's British debt, Britain is preparing
to write off fifty per cent of her cOntin-
entail debt. In spite of these facts, Bri
fish finance is in a fundamen'al ally sound
condition. Businessmen and workers are
recovering from the demnralizing effects
of the war, their customary energy is
reviving and British ~actories are in
creasing their output. According to es-
Inmates made public by the Bank Char
man the present years exports will
produce a profit of from one billion
pounds to one AID a half b lion pounds.

statement referring to the differences in

The Chamber, co nmenting on the recent
unprecedented drop in sterling exchange

desir9 bile that the besf opinion on each side
of the Atlantic concerning this question
