OFFER TO JAMAICA
Independence In 1962 (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) NEW YORK, October 6. Britain said today that it was offering full independence in 1962 to Jamaica. In a referendum last month Jamaica seceded from the West Indies Federation. Jamaica will be granted nationhood outside the federation, and also will be offered a place in the Commonwealth. Tenns of the British offer were disclosed in a communique issued in London by the Colonial Office after four days of talks with the Jamaican Prime Minister (Mr Norman Manley).
