has more than doubled the pre-
war peak Of 1897 yet the tour
list potential has hardly been
tapped, according to a survey
just released by Reinhold P.
Wolff, director Of the Bureau
of Business and Economic Re-
search Of the University Of
Miami.
In 1858 an estimated $50 1000
tourists visited the Bahamas,
Cuba, Curacao, Dominican Re
public, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands in
contrast to the 203,900 total in
1897. Tourist expenditures in.
the islands last year amount
ed to SAC, 000, 600, exclusive of
transportation costs. In 1897
tourists spent $40, 100,0 900.
The tourist potential Of the
Caribbean islands, however,
has only been partly develop
ed, the survey points out. The
drawing power lies not only
in the charm of these sunny,
tropical islands but in their
geographical setting. Linked
by Pan American World Air
ways, the West Indies are
within a few flying hours Of

another he said, THE quickest
way for America to lose a war
would be to attack Germany"

Of Florida called him 1.-THE chief
of the fifth columnists. President
Franklin d. Roosevelt spoke dis
