BRANCH STORE tered in a Guianese newspaper. We question whether there is any car nest desire on the part of govern ment of people here to have the union effective from every point of view. One has to reside on the spot to secure the correct angle for viewing men and things. Government is the beginning, middle and end of everything in the various communities which constitute the Leeward Islands Federation. Antigua, which is headquarters, is an illustration of the ubiquitousness of government The population is less than 30, 000; it would not be exaggerating to compute it at 25, 000 and for the current year expenditure is likely to reach over 100, 000. We depend on exporting sugar, cotton, molasses, ete. One factory expects to manufacture 10, 000 tons sugar which at 212 per ton will give 120, 000 the other factory output will be about 000 tops which will fetch 22, 800.
Te we value the remaining commoaities at 20, 000 we have a grand total of 162. 800. Is it fair, is it business like that we should carry such a top heavy administrationthat industry should be burdened to such an extent to support a govJernment? The cost of government to this island should not exceed 60, 000.
If there was determination to cut our coat according the cloth it could be done, but nobody is sufficiently strong to take the lead. We would not expect one belonging to the system to try to wreck it; bis toain idea would be to preserve rather than destroy and the private individual who sees the folly of the whole affair hasn the nerve to lead an agitation against it. He is content to grin and bear. Why? Be.

If he can stand that treatment his better half is generally of such vain nature that she would make his life a burden until he ceased his agitation, became a nice boy again and re.
ceived the usual invitation to tea.
We are afraid that it will be a long while before the mass is sufficiently educated to demand a change in the system of government. Even the leading scholastic institution 05chews politics. We question whether such a subject as civics forms part of the curriculum; and if that study is neglected by the sons of the better class it would be considered sinful to encourage Quasbie children to dabble with it. We console our selves with the belief that some day an awakening will take place.

WE OFFER But Officials Will Not Move And Unofficials Have Not the Nerve To Act EXCELLENT PRICES ARTICLE IN MAGNET FOR THE DUMP (By the Straggler)
The dump! the dump! the same old dump Which months ago, did make me jump: Has come again its tale to tell, By giving me its nasty smellt AND Job Printing Book. Binding Rubber Stamps The Workman Printery 72 And in addition, now to they burn The mess they bring from Colon town; This mixture, sure, does give me hell, The smoke and then the nasty smell.
The following appears in the Antigua Magnet: Closer Caribbean Co operation is becoming more and more a reality, All the Colonies have had a chance to read about St. Vincent recently, Antigua has also been getting her share of publicity, but it has neither been as extensive nor as favourable as St. Vincent In this issue we reproduce an article which appeared in the New Daily Chronicle Newspaper of British Guiana. There is reason for having faith in Closer Caribbean Co operation. Formerly each of these Colonies was satisfied to be engrossed in its affairs and resented interference from outside.
Nowadays each is concerned with what is happening elsewhere and so just as we sympathised with British Guiana in having her political status reduced to the level of a Crown Colony so the attention of the Guianese has been attracted to political conditions in the Leeward Islands and comment has been passed on a product of officialdom which has turned out as big a failure as the system which created it. union or federation binds Antigua, St. KittsNevis, Dominica, Monserrat and the Virgin Islands. The only purpose of the federation seems to be to pron vide increased salaries and subsistence allowance for certain of ficials. The Wagnet has adopted as one of its slogans Make the Federation a reality! but the cry has been that of a voice raised in the wilderness. Now suggestions which could prove valuable have been ofAT wonder what these dump men think?
They give me smoke and smell to drink; They bother me and stop ny breath, And try to stiffle me to death.
This stinking smoke it makes me sneeze, And my poor eyes, have to squeeze; What next twill do tis hard to tell, But it makes my ropa smell like hell!
Carlos Mendoza Street CORNER JAVILLO Opposite Guardia Lumber Yard Mr. Dump Foreman, this ask, It will not be a heavy task; Please stop the smoke, for tis no joke To swollow smoke and smell then choke!
