The love of-the American people for tropical fruits mar some day result In Ameri can supremacy in the Islands of the West Indies. Already the ITnlted States Is the principal buyer of their exports, and gradually we are (fathering up their Import trade so that the day Is not long ahead when we will have the com mercial supremacy. For years It has been the dream of many white citizens of the island of Jamaica that the Hay would come when peaceful negotiations i between Uncle Sam and John Bull would give Uncle Sam the holdings of John Bull there and transfer sovereignty to the United States. For generations Great Britain has ruled commercially as well as govern - ' mentally In most of the Islands of the West Indies. Her wars with France and Spain In other quarters of the globe led to the conquest here, and It ; was not long before she had effected the capture of the trade Just as she had captured the Islands themselves. - For generations England has got the cream of this trade lying so close to our own shores. But when the Yankee began to get on terms of Intimacy with the banana the pendulum of commerce began to swing toward the United , States and It has been swinging that way ever since.

Balance of Trade Satisfactory. England furnishes one of the Frreat paradoxes of trade. At home we think thawwhen the balance of trade Is In our jv.r wu in wen, out we are never con tent to see It on the wronsr side of the ledger. But England has for years and years hen polnr along; plllns; up a heavier balance of trade against herself each year. What Is true of the mother country Is also true of the West Indian colonies.
