Aruba in the News
Cable messages from America state that a German freighter has been scuttled off the Island of Aruba; in the Dutch West Indies. Aruba lies off Venezuela, which is on the northern coast of South America and is almost opposite the Gulf of Maracaibo, an arm of the Carribean Sea. Gold and phosphates are its principal exports. The Island of Curacao, famous for its liquors, is nearby. Maracaibo, the principal port of Venezuela, is a deep-water port from which are exported large quantities of coffee, sugar, rubber, cocoa, timber, hides, and ores. Large numbers of Gere man merchant ships have been shelter+ ing in the ports of various South American countries since the outbreak of war. A strong British Naval force is stationed in the British West Indies.
