very bright indeed for St. Thomas short
ly and everyone ought to have their
minds centered on the shipping, which in
all probability will make the island the
leading commercial centre of the West
Indies.
Already the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton is perfecting the former Hamburg
American Line Wharf for their steamers.
The Royal Mail Company is about to ex-
tend their wharf. The Anglo-Mexican
Company has leased little Krum Bay
which will give an easy ingress and
egress to their lines of steamers. More
extension is yet to follow.
All persons-especially laborers-who
are natives of the Virgin Islands ought
to get themselves ready for the good pro-
spective future of the island, for it is
only when the harbor shows life then all
is happy, whether laborer or not. Now
IS your time to make money by honest
work n keep out foreign labor, male or
female. Secure your little corner stores
or shops in time and be ready to cooper
ate in the movement.
1t is impossible for Porto Rico to COM
pete with US in this respect as the Uni
ted States Shipping Board has already
from just comparison concluded that St.
Thomas from its position must be a prin-
cipal leading port Of call. Every one
ought to happily interest himself in this
matter and help towards a successful
issue. Moreover the war beingsover tour
lists will be turning up u way and to
add to 1t all, summer resorts are likely
to be erected at many places which will
attend to add life in a small sphere
equal to a large ne.-Com. st. Tho
