Antigua, St. Kitts, Barbuda, Redonda, Vir 
gin Islands, Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat and 
Dominica; the Windward Islands compris 
ing Granada, Grenadines, St. Vincent, and 
St. Lucia; the Bahamas and Bermuda. 
Of these islands the population perhaps 
numbers 1,500,000, mostly blacks, and mulat- 
toes, with a small percentage of white officials 
and merchants. The larger islands of Ja 
maica with 900,000 people, Barbados with 
200,000 and Trinidad with 300,000 are the 
only ones worth visiting for business purposes, 
as merchants in these places have trading con 
nections with residents of the smaller locali 
ties. Kingston in Jamaica, Georgetown in 
Barbados, and Port of Spain in Trinidad are 
the only large cities, and have good hotels and 
prosperous business houses. 
English is spoken exclusively everywhere 
and American money accepted at its face value 
as readily as English currency in all these pos 
sessions. The larger islands have branches of 
Canadian and English banks with direct con 
nection in New York. Credits are good.
