Nautical Novelties
The Caribbean

The Caribbean Sea is of great
historic Importance and may
some day regain its place in
the forefront of world affairs.
It was to the Islands of the Car
ibbean that Columbus came in
his first voyage OF discovery,
and in subsequent voyages he
confined his explorations large
ly to these islands. The early
Spanish settlements were made
there, and for many years a
profitable colonial empire in the
West Indies was conducted by
Spain. Sugar plantations were
profitable and slaves were
brought to replace the Indian.
The French also colonized some
of the Islands and at one time
claimed control of the greater
number of the lesser Antilles. It
was over the waters of the Car
bbean that the treasure ships
sailed which transported the
gold and silver of Peru from
Panama to Spain, and it was in
the islands that the Buccaneers
had their points of rendezvous
from which their expeditions SEE
out to plumber the colonists and
reasure ships.
Many bloody battles have been
fought in this sea. European
conflicts were the occasion for
the departure of fleets to attack
the Islands of the Caribbean,
and many of the Islands have
changed ownership several
times. In 1852 the British took
from the French, Martinique,
Granda, st. Vincent, st. Lucia,
Guadalupe when the treaty of
peace was signed, to be held
until the next wal started.
The area in which the U. S.
fleet is now operating is also of
great historical interest as the
scene of operations in the Span
ish-American War; nearby, at
Santiago, Cuba, one of the de-
cisive naval battles was fought.
The Caribbean area is of great
Importance at the present time
on account of the Panama
canal, and the fact that the Is
lands afford anchorages and po-
tential naval bases from which
ships and aircraft may operate
in safeguarding the approaches
to the Canal.
The United States has con-
Slstently held to the policy that
European nations shall not be-
allowed to extend their owner
ship of lands in the Americas,
and that stable governments
must be maintained in the Carr
bbean area. The Good Neigh
Dor" policy of the present ad-
ministration is winning friend

United States is consistently at

DDS have been deliberately kept
out. The great lighters that
flock around the ships are

unloading of ships is done by
large groups of blacks, moving
in a steady line, carrying in
credible burdens, mostly on
their heads, men and women
working together. In these days
of oil-burning steamers, it is
rare indeed to see, as in earlier
days, this long line of women
disappearing endlessly into the
side of a ship until her great

responsibility to uphold. Should
a single generation fail to regard
the flag as a symbol of govern
mental strength, to be loved at
home and respected abroad, 1t
would render itself impOtent
when confronted by internal
danger of external aggression.
The development of our Re
public has been possible only
through suffering, sacrifice OF
treasure and life itself in it's
defense. If we ever come to neg
lect training young America in
the true meaning of patriotism,
a consciousness of personal OBJ
legation to conserve our inheri-
lance, to maintain the moral
fiber which will adequately meet
any attemp against stability, we
will have demonstrated our own
unWorthineSS as administrators
of a sacred trust.
1t is silly to allege that be-
levers in National defense are
militarists seeking war. To the
contrary, they abhor conflict
and would avoid it through ade-
quate preparedness. It requires
high character, principle and
self denial to compel a just rec
ognition of our needs and safety
than to supinely yield on the
theory that "our weakness is our
greatest strength"
The advocates of extreme pa
cificism may be well-intentioned.
We recall an old adage along
that same line. The road to ma
tional ruin has also been paved
the same way. The course they
are urging is sowing the seed of
Instruction.
The home, the school, the
church, the nation, are still the
greatest moral training agencies
of civilization. The logical out
come of pacifism involves the
destruction of all these. There
is no greater service we can
render to the rising generation
than to instill the fundamental
principles that to defend our
constitutions - to uphold our
governments the highest duty
of American citizenship.
