Victor Goddard approaches the government about his stored supplies
Description
Neville recounts that in 1939, sensing the approach of war, his brother Victor -- a Barbados businessman and ship chandler -- used an international loophole allowing tax-free purchases from visiting ships to stockpile enormous quantities of goods just before England declared war on Germany, correctly anticipating that supply ships would stop reaching the isolated island once war closed the shipping lines. Two years later, with the goods sitting unused and the United States still not yet in the war, Victor approached the Barbados government asking to pay the import duty and sell the stockpile locally in partnership with the island's merchants -- but the merchants, seeing a chance to eliminate their biggest competitor and heaviest taxpayer, urged the government to refuse, and it did.
