Danish West Indies Cession Considerations Highlight Strategic Value
Washington notes from a Senate foreign relations committee report on the Danish West Indies treaty. The islands exported to the United States sugar molasses and spirits in 1900 totaling 568045 dollars while U S exports to them were 624624 dollars.
