profit most from the bases.
The colored population, which

economic scale, the very rich are
primarily resentful of change

In the middle is the large

for the past 20 years on the

to how little they feel the bases

Bermudians are Of q unani-

Here unanimity ends, though
naturally there are certain as
poets which few Bermudians
like. They dislike giving .
twenty-ffth of their land to q
foreign power. They dislike the
thought Of modernization which
the bases must bring-for much
Of Bermuda's appeal has been
its charming quaintness.
On this score, however, many
Bermudians are philosophical.
