ROSEBURG, OREGON Old Promise Not Kept For years, the Negroes of Ja- nmca, British-owned island of the West Indies, have anticipated Au gust 1, 1938, as the day on which the big plantations of the island were' to be divided into smalt un its, and presented to descendants of slaves whose freedom was granted on August 1, 1938, by Queert Victoria. Copies of a pur ported proclamation by the Queen ordering such' a division 100 years following the date of emancipa tion, have been in existence for many years. When August 1 ar rived, nothing happened, because British militia units had beeu mo bilized to forestall trouble by the 1,000,000 Jamaica Negroes suppos edly entitled to this division of land. For years, the government had made announcement that Queen Victoria had ordered no such division, but the Jamaicans steadfastly believed the British government in London would or der it carried out. Some had even bought equipment for their small farms and barbed wire fencing to enclose them.
