who first occupied this group, $50 years
ago. and they abandoned it in favor of
New Amsterdam, later New York. Then
the Danes came in, but lost the islands
to the British. Later they were given
back. Now you know what they must
be like if England didn't want them"
Our islands. according to the judge,

that Germany would make a submarine

import duties in such a m nner as to
affect A~rgentines exports. He declared
the real purpose of the bill was to make
the United States the creditor Of the

wall against their IMPORTS and then
forcibly decrease South American gold
holdings by equiring the debtor repub-
lies to ay their balance in gold. Deputy
SacOone asserted the time had come for
the Argentine to assert herself and let it
be known she is not depending on the
United States for imported merchandise.
