...Jamaican rancher wondered why he could not grow grass on his estate near Saint Ann's Bay and sent a soil sample to a U.S. laboratory for analysis. The test proved that the soil was rich in bauxite, the source mineral for aluminum. Two U.S. aluminum companies (Kaiser and Reynolds) and one Canadian (Aluminium Ltd., known locally as Aljam) rushed in, staked out one of the world's biggest bauxite reserves, and are now shipping more than 2,000,000 tons a year to the U.S. and Canada...

Above all, he knew that Hitler was not Kaiser Wilhelm I, "the old gentleman who took Alsace Lorraine from us," but a modern Genghis Khan.
