Grenada prepares for its fourth general elections since independence with seven political parties seeking victory.

Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister, Patrick Manning is predicting full employment within a reasonable time-frame. The Finance Minister, Wendell Mottley gives a cautious response to the Prime Minister's optimism. Cuban President Fidel Castro has decided against the extradition of Robert Vesco, an American fugitive. The ACP group of countries are deeply concerned about proposed changes to Europe's banana regime and move to forestall such plans.
