Secretary of State for the British Colonies in the late Labour Government, which appeared in the London Daily Despatch of Feb. 11: Too strong an emphasis can not be placed on the value of visits made by representative men to our Dominions Colonies. One is enabled to sre at first band bow great and far reaching are the interests of the British Commonwealth of Nations and how profound.
mistake is often made by the assumption that industrial, economic, and political proplems can be settled by the consideraton ol merely one standpoint.
Soch visits are also valuable because they throw members of all parties and classes to freed from party tles, for weeks in pleasant companabip, able to dincass with perfeot frankness various problems of Importance and to appreciate other points of view.

This brings me to the question of American influence in Jamaica. There no doubt that considerable 1000nt of American money has been spent there, and instead of deprecating this, as some people do, welcome it. am satisfied that both the people of Jamaica and the men who found the money have benefited.
But for a reason cannot anderstand, a rumoer spread that we were likely, in some obscure way, to make a deal with America Over Jamalca. In fact, it wae put to be by more than one person that America was likely to cancel British debts in exchange for Jamaica.
