Caribbean Report 05-05-1993

Caribbean countries are again caught up in controversy in the international whaling commission. The US has outlined elements of its foreign policy, virtually leaving the Caribbean off the agenda. Jamaica’s inflation rate which once peaked at 105 percent at the end of 1992 had fallen to 21.5 percent by the end of March, 1993. Cuba is seeking international help to combat an epidemic of an eye disease which is now threatening over 25,000 with blindness. The rift in the Mitchell administration over a health directive appears to have been pushed aside by a local protest.
