are going 10 need substantial
sums for relief and reconstruction
and they cant furnish those sums
themselves.
Furthermore, the product they
raise the most OF Is one with which
the United States already has an
expensive Surplus-production prob
lem.
Chief crop Of these Islands Is
sugar. The commerce depart
mentS 1888 yearbook shows that
West indies sugar production cur
rently runs around 100000 tons,
For years the United States has
had 10 divide its domestic sugar
market with the utmost care, with
various quotas parcelled out 10
mainland cane growers, mainland
sugar beet growers, Hawaiian and
Puerto Rican producers, and 10 on.
Making n change OF MS little nS
10000 tons IN any enc OF these
quotas means long, bitter, lob
by-rlddGn fight In congress; TO
bring In brand-noW set OF pro-
duccrS able 10 turn out 100000
tons year would scramble the
whole process beyond recognition.
As q matter Of fact, 100000 tons
Isn't capacity for the Islands.
Their production expanded I'm.
mensoly In the early '30s; q Brit.
ish government report not long
ago stated that the island8 could
not prosper until they we're able
to add NJ least 10000 tons 10
their market.
BRITISH SURVEY SHOWS
ISLANDS COSTLY PROBLEM
Economic dlstross In the islands
was 30 severe that the British co.
lonial Office sent out n special com.
mission 10 investigate two years
ago, This commission reported that
although the British government
has spent around i2,000,000 pounds
on The Islands during Tho past dec.
ade, II should plan 10 spend a.
least q million pounds q year for the
next 20 years on health, education,
slum clearance, land rescttlemcnt,
and 40 On, and should figure also
on putting half n million more Into
overhead administrative costs,
Island revenues are low the
report said, many OF the colonies
arc IN debt, and few are able 10
maintain adequate 8ocial services,
ISLANDS MAY NOT
LIKE AMERICANS
French and BrItieh Caribbean
posSegslons have a total population
Of around 100000, Largest British
Island Is jamaica, with Trinidad,
II iS considered one OF the most inn
poftant from % strategic standpoint.
France holds Guadeloupe and Mar.
Unique; the Dutch have nix mnall
islands the most important being
Curacao, Bonairo and Aruba, where
there are extensive oil reflnerles.
One point Americans usually
overlook In discussing acquisition
OF the Islands Is that inhabitants
ol tho Brlt!sh West Indies are
strongly empire conscious and
probably wouldn't take kindly 10
o transfer except In dire emer.
gency, Barbados, for instance, "
proud OF It's title OF Little Eng.
land" and OF the fact that II has
