The islands are now economically unpro-

the commercial sense they are all chiefly
dependent on the United States and Can

ton and wealth of Porto Rico under the
American sovereignty and Of Cuba under
practically free trade with the United
States is a sufficient demonstration that
the economic interest of the Caribbean
land is entirely bound up with this CONT
nent.
The British possessions in the West In.
dies constitute a magnificent domain in
themselves. From the Bahamas on the
north to Trinidad on the south, they ex-
tend over seventeen degrees of latitude

There is reprinted below a paragraph
from West End News of Yesterday

be no reasonable law to keep out foreign
goods that are insufficiently produced at
home and at a probibitive price when
o~btainable there. Eggs pay an import
duty of 12lM or about 30 cents a hun
dred. With the cost of shipment, etc,
the price would drop to less than two
cents net to the Tortola people. The 10
cal dealer sells his eggs at 4 cents for the
domestic hen egg and 5 cents for import

demand that there is always a scarcity Of
eggs. We fail to see where the commu-
nifty is injured by cheap foreign goods
any more than it is by cheap foreign la.
