during the NorthAfrican invasion.
Meanwhile, American warships
and planes watched that the island
didn't become a base for Axis sub
marines. Congressman Grated that
the island should be seized. Sew
eral times invasion was consi-
dered.
To bring about the capitulation
of Robert after Hitler had overrun
all of France and had made an
abortive effort to take over the
French fleet at Toulon, a strict
blockade was imposed against
Martinique.
Military authorities today re-
call the naval and air forces that
all this tied up. They had to keep
immobilized in the harbor three
famous French ships, the cruiser
Emile Berth, the aircraft carrier
Hearn and the training ship
Jeanne DARK, and a number of
merchantmen.
In the United States congress
sional committees are i~nvestigat-
ing the extent of Communism.
Haiti's President Estime said his
country has outlaWed Commu-
nistS. Brazil is currently rounding
up Communist suspects.
But Martinique to be a Com
munist is to belong to one Of the
leading parties. Thus the way for
contacts between Communist lead
ers there and in Europe is open.
But how truly Communist is the
Communism of Martinique?
Some observers believe it is the
expression, stirred up by agita-
tors, of the shave nots" against
the "haves." The island is poor. It
can't adequately support its popu-
lation of restless people.
There was much muttering
against Roberts oppressive Vichy
DEGREES. There was much suffer-
ing during theAmerican blockade.
The postwar swing to the left was
sharp. The economic comeback
has been slow.
One high government official
told me he personally expected
that the next election would show
a decline in Communist strength.
The people will have had time to
seethat the Communist party has
not been able to make promised
improvements, he said.

Would Martinique, trouble
spot in the early days of
World War II, be a headache
again in event of another war?
In view of the uncertain in
ternational situation that ques
ton is one Of concern to Unit
ed States military authorities.
Communism is strong in
that rugged, beautiful island,
where resentment smolders
among the full blooded Ne
groes against the mixed races
and the few remaining whites.
It is right in the middle of
the Caribbean defenses that
guard U. S. shipping lanes and
the Panama Canal. To either
side of the islands of Trinidad,
st. Lucia and Antigua are mil
itary bases leased fromBritain.
Americans worried about
the spread of Communism in
Yugoslavia, Germany, the Mid
die East can lower their sights
nearer home. Martinique is
l425 air miles from Miami, Fla
and 1900 from Panama.
Martinique is seldom visited
