ISLANDS IN AGONY - Dibar K Apartian - September 1967

Dibar K Apartian

The very name of the CARIBBEAN spells vacation, fun – and excitement! It is the dreamland of millions of tourists. But life over there is for from being all "rosy." Here is a firsthand report about the actual condition - the UNTOLD story of these exotic islands. Barbados, West Indies. "Where do I find the American Embassy?" the tourist asked. "Pick up a rock - and follow the mob!" was the answer. The Jamaican newspaper which reported this "joke" had no hostility whatsoever toward the United States. On the contrary, Jamaicans – like most Caribbeans - appreciate American tourists whose dollar actually maintains their country's economy. Thousands of leaflets, pamphlets and brochures have been put out by various agencies to attract the tourists into these islands. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
