on meat. Fresh meat is import
ed to the amount of 5,717 tons,
valued at over So million u. S,
Import prices of meat tend
ed to rise less sharply than
the import prices Of other com
modities already analysed by
the Secretariat-sugar, ce-
ment, fish, tobacco, dairy pro-
ducts. Prices of fresh meat in
creased by 75@; dried, sailed
and picked meat, and bacon
and ham increased BY 900;
the highest increase was re-
gistered in the imports of
canned meat, the average i'm
port price of which increased
1850 between 1885 and 1916.
The Largest consumer of
meat in the Carib-
bean is Puerto Rico. In 1916
Puerto Rican imports amount
ed to 22,672 tons, valued at
$13,252,7 1877. This represented
an increase of over 500 in i'm
ports by quantity, whilst the
value of the imports in 1916
was more than three times the
figure for 1885. Puerto Rico
alone consumes more dried,
salted and prickled meat, more
bacon and ham, and more
canned meat than the rest of
the Commission territories"
combined.
With respect to the origin
imports, the most striking
feature of the data presented
is the dominating position oc-
.upied by Argentina, and, to
a lesser extent, by Brazil and
Uruguay. In the British West
Indies, the war had the Gus
tomary effect of increasing
Canadian TT. ade.
The Caribbean export trade
in meat, the study concludes,
IS still in its infancy. ExportsI

Caribbean Commission Study
Meat Trade of the Area

PORT of SPAIN, Nov. 3:The
Meat Trade of the Caribbean,
sixth in the series of External
Trade Bulletins published by
the Research Branch of the
Caribbean Commissions Cen
trail Secretariat, has just come
off the press, and deals with
the qquestion of meat from
the standpoint of trade.
This publication is a logical
corollary of its predecessor in
the series, which analysed the
trade in dairy products. To
gether these two Bulletins pro
vide basic data on the live
stock industry, whose present
role and future prospects in
the economy of the Caribbean
area have for some time been
the subject of considerable
discussion in the various terri
tories and the metropolitan
countries.
The Commission territories"
combined, the study shows,
provide a market for meat
which amounted to38,552 tons
in 1916, valued at $21,274,174
U. S. Attention has frequently
been drawn to the fact that
the per capita consumption of
meat in the area is very low.
It is to be noted in this connec-
ton, however, that the imports
for 1916 represented an in
crease of 50R over the imports
in 1885, while the value of the
imports in 1916 was three
the expenditure in 1895.
With respect to the various
kinds of meat, the most i'm
nortant item in the meat
trade Of the area is dried, salt
ed and picked meat, which
represents over one-half of the
total meat imports and about
$50 of the total expenditure J

were at their highest figure in
1941 when they were valued
at $27,OOO US. The data set out
for the individual territories
indicate the scope for increas-
ed local production and even
for exports to neighbouring
markets, in the case of those
territories where all the requi-
site factors for such an orien-
tation of the economy are to
be found.

The LIGHTHOUSE
fE shall knotO the Truth and the Truth tDil make you free.

Since the last campaign by the
Police Department, the dog popu-
lation has multiplied many times
over. Constant barking all over
the towns are on again.
-:-:-
This increase in the mongrel
population is not only annoying
to local people who want to sleep,
but the tourist season is about to
start.
In some areas dogs rush out of
yards and at people passing by,
many of whom merely escape be-
ing bitten. Children often suffer;
but for fear the dog owners will
get "cool", parents remain still.
-:-:-
I'd like to see the Police take
action but not like the last time.
Shooting dogs during the daytime
is distaSteful, of course. Why not
attack the fellows who roam the
streets after 10 at nights, without
license?
-:-:-
Although it was informal, Coun-
cilmen did promise to hold pub
lie hearings to give citizens an OPP
portunity to tell them how they
felt; the knowledge gained there
from, would be used as a yard
stick on which to plan for the
coming year. This is November
and there is nothing but utter
silence.
Not many nights ago Council
man Frank E. Jacobs announced
a mass meeting for the Market
place; there he told of his activi-
ties, thus far, and the reasons for
his every act that might have
been contrary to some of his con-
stituents' feeling.
The attendance was poor. The
, 1949-11-05

reason was obvious: He should
have announced he was going to
give somebody help. Then it
would have needed a police de-
tail to keep back the crowd. That
IS why sincere Councilman fail so
often. The public, for the most
part, will not support and en-
courage them when they do the
right thing.
-:-:-
AT election time, of course, thew
yell why didn't you come out un-
til now election time.).
am convinced the former coun
climen were really smart.
-:-:-
1t was really amusing to hear a
lew persons who bitterly criticiz-
ed Governor Hastie, now lament
ing the fact that he is really 90
ing.
The lament came after the
looked at the record. No other
Governor has ever gotten more
money and other concessions from
the Congress than Hastie-. if
was predicted that continentals
would not come to the Islands or
invest, if he was confirmed-tha4
was Leslie Hunts idea, of course,
but there are more white con
tlnentals in the Virgin Islands to-
day than ever. Incidentally, 90 if
not SO per cent would rather SEQ
him remain.
-:-:-
In my humble observations 7
find that about 70 per cent of the
continentals who have started
business here are genuinely in
terested in our local people-and
detest the mention of race or
color in their estab1ishments-in
fact they resent it. The spirit of
the UN. We know them-and, we
can spot the takers too. / mean the
ones who would like to make st.
a little Bermuda, where
.olored people are barred from
most places.
