LIE InEA1 OOMSLA4N4 OF
local merchants is that most of
the tourists who have been in this
year have but skipped in and out
without staying long. Every tour
list that comes here leaves Ger
tain amount of money but the
longer they stay here the more
money will they leave here. Then
will also come the building and
servants additions when some
become permanent residents.
Thus is some of the wealth made
in other sections of the country
exchanged for tourist services in
this delightful island of ocean
breezes ard warm winter CHM
ate. And the tourists like it.
What must be done to make more
of the tourists remain here is the
big question and without large
city budgets to provide for them
there are few businesses that like
answers to the query.

Germany could intercept British
coal exports to Scandinavia, as a
START.
Britain would have a precedent
for seizing German exports; she
did the same thing in the World
war, and it was learned that the
ministry of economic warfare was
watching German exports closely
now, fully realizing that these ship
ments provided Germany with much
needed foreign exchange.
There were indications that the
British were not satisfied with the
effect the blockade and contraband
control was having on Germany
there were too many loopholeS
through which Germany was getting
food, minerals, timber and war
materials from Scandinavia. Russia,
Italy and the Balkans. Further
more, the loss of seven merchant
ships in three days, in addition to
an unnamed destroyer and the
trawler Creswell, was not conducive
to optimism.

in about visitors. Several thrust
themselves forward and tried to
sell small pins made from chips of
abalone shells.
