Failure of Treaty Might Mean War
Washington Aug 5 The purchase by the United States of the Danish West Indies islands St Thomas St Croix and St John is provided for in a treaty signed by the US Senate and the Danish parliament. Senate action is expected this session with little opposition and broad support from the foreign relations committee led by Senator Lodge. The main objection anticipated is the 25 million price. If not acquired the islands might fall to another power risking conflict under the Monroe doctrine. The islands offer a strategic naval harbor noted by Admiral Mahan and would not threaten statehood as population is 33 000, nearly all black. The Danish position remains uncertain but expected to ratify.
