Be it resolved that the Agricultural and Commercial Society of St.
Lucia view with concern the future of the sugar and fancy molasses industry in this colony, in spite of the assistance offered by Imperial Government, as several of the factories are already mortgaged to the banks for unpaid balances of advances made last crop: and consider that the assistance offered is inadequate and will not prevent the factories from becoming more involved in debt, resulting in increasingly heavier interest charges, and that, furthermore, the scheme proposed does not appear to be easy of operation. And be it further resolved that the Imperial Government be appealed to, through the Associated Chamber of Commerce for the West Indies, in the hope that it may find it possible to reconsider the form and extent of the assistance which it is proposed to give to the sugar industry.
The resolution was carried.
