The lower estimate made by the Department of Commerce, however, is not a contradiction of the War Department figure but merely re- presents a different interpretation of what constitutes American capi tal.
Senate debate on the Hare-Hawes- Cutting bill in 1832 similarly re- vealed wide differences of opinion concerning the extent of American interests in the islands, but new light is thrown on the matter by the current publication.
