still a part of the Spanish world.

Spain Is dominant In blood, tradi

tions, and language. In old Hispanl

ola where the Spanish seed was

first planted In the New World,

the eastern half of the Island still

shows strongly the Spanish Impress.

This is the Dominican Kepuhlic

where language and law are still

Spanish. But in the western half of

the island, covered by the Republic

of Haiti, Spanish culture succum

bed to that of France and Africa.

Jamaica, once a stronghold of

Spain, has long been dominated by

British culture; and the Bahamas,

claimed by Spain, have known only

British influences. Cuba has been

independent of Spanish political

power since 1S9S. hut is still cul

turally a part of Spain the most

Spanish o fthe West Indian Islands.

Through the Isthmus of Panama,

Central America, and Mexico, Span

ish cultural inflhences sweep tin

broken as they have for the past

three centuries ami more. Florida

shows little effect of her former

Spanish ownership save for a few

architectural touches and a few

geographic names. Texas, too. was

lost to Spain, but. the effects there

are greater; and in many a com

munity pear the Itlo Grande the

Spanish language Is almost as nr-c-cessary

as the English. In Arizona

and California, once under Spanish

Influences, the situation Is much

like that In Texas.
