The Countries of the carr,bean

Looking southward from the shores of our gulf states, the g~og- rapher surveys a group of ten re- publics of vast potentialities, cluster ed in and around two great warm seas. In addition ito these independent re- publics, the waters of the Gulf of Mex ico and theN Caribbean sea are dot ted with innumerable tropical islands of riotous vegetation belonging to the United States, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands.
 These seni-inclosed seas have been aptly termed ''The American Mediter- ranean,'' for, crisscrossing and mean dering through the channels between the Gulf and Caribbean islands run the great ocean lines of an ever-in- creasing commerce.
