Abstract:St. Helena is constitutionally more retarded than any other British dependency except Hong Kong and Pitcairn. Econcmically she is wholly dependent on British aid and so remote from any of her continental neighbours that it is idle to speculate with which if any of them she might one day be associated. The political and economic development of St. Helena is thus one of the more important as well as one of the most intractable of Britain's colonial responsibilities. The colony costs the British taxpayer annually over £ 3.5 million or more than £ 550 par head of St. Helena's resident population. Whether this can be reduced and whether St. Helena can ever become more self supporting are the questions with which this paper is concerned. Notes, ref., sum.
