"They are Lifting Their Heads in the Stillness to Yelp at the English Flag!"

"They are Lifting Their Heads in the Stillness to Yelp at the English Flag!"

The Chief Minister of Jamaica, Mr. Manley, said recently that the attitude of Britain and the United States toward a proposal for the capital of the West Indies Federation was one of arrogance and contempt. The proposed site is Chaguaramas, Trinidad, where there is a United States naval base. Mr. Manley said Britain had stated it was unable to request the United States to consider leaving Chaguaramas to make way for the capital in the light of conclusions of a report on the subject. "The conduct of the British Government in publishing a one-sided statement designed to prejudice and embarrass, and indeed prevent, any more consideration of the matter in the West Indies is an insult and an outrage to the people of the West Indies and the Federal Government," said Mr. Manley.
