KINGSTON, Jamaica-(ANP)-A suggestion that Jamaica be ceded to the United States was made here a few days ago by a member of the executive of the People's National Party, led by Norman Washington Manley.
Willis O. Isaacs, second vice-president of the PNP, told the Jamaica Times newspaper that he would put the idea to Manley as soon as the latter had sufficiently rested from his trip to the United States.
"I am convinced," declared Isaacs, "that economic betterment in Jamaica is possible to the maximum extent, only if we establish the closest economic ties with the US.
"My suggestion is not influenced by any considerable anti-British feeling. But I can see no better way out for the country than to link up with Uncle Sam."
The PNP man added that his socialist party should work for these policies immediately after we obtain more power to decide our political destiny. "I will go as far as to propose that, when self-government is achieved, we would open discussion on the possibility."
