THE SUGAR SITUATION.
A Foreign Spirit,

Into the bitterness which is being felt
by an unsuspecting public by being
brought suddenly face to face with a
famine through the breach of con-
tract by the Sugar Factory in ST. Croix,
mingles a genuine feeling of incredibly
and surprise at the action of the said
Danish Concern, an action which has
come to our population like a flash out of
a clear sky, or, perhaps, rather like a
cold gust from a harsher climate,
1t is generally felt as if a foreign spirit
had invaded our territories, and which is
taken as a bad omen for the new Laws,
which have just come into effect in St.
Croix, and are under contemplation here;
and it is to be hoped that the said spirit
will get no opportunities of manifesto
ton in this island.
We have heard it suggested, that the
Food Commission transfer rns rights
acquired by the Contract, to the Colonial
Council! on behalf Of tbs people Of ST.
Thomas; and that the Community OF st.
Thomas then prosecute the Sugar Fac
tory for fulflment of its obligations. We
think this a very good move. if no

NEWS.

The Governor has received the resolu-
tons passed by the Colonial Council for
the Municipality of St, Thomas and St.
John at it's last meeting, p%etitioning the
Government to lay an embargo upon
certain St. Croix sugar. This in the
opinion of the Government is permissa-
BILE only as provided by paragraph Is of
the Colonial Law which reads as follows:
The right of property is inviolable.
No person can be compelled TO cede
his property except when the public
welfare demands it. This can only be
effected according to a law Or an Or
dinance and full compensation must
be given.
Assuming that the public welfare de-
mands it, the Government would not
, 1920-08-12

legally have the right to embargo sugar
without at the same time making Iull
COMPENSATION, which would be the mar
ket price on the day the embargo was
levied. Such action would ue without
beneficial result as the sugar is offered
at that price without embargo. There
fore, the Government feels that 1t can 90
do more than furnish legal assistance,
which it has already promised to the
Food Commission for the prosecution or
its suit.
The Junior High School opened yes,
terday with grades Z, 8, g, and a total
enrolment of 76 pupils. The regular
work has begun with the exception OF

which will be started upon the arrival OF

enrolment in Spanish classes is unusual

exceedingly popular. The other schools

+ And all this, owing to the sudden DIS
play of a foreign spirit amongst US!
Let US hope that a quick amellOration
of the situation may be brought about.
st. Thomas Mail Notes, August 9TH.
A deputation composed of the Revds.
Christensen, Folensbee and Bishop Grei-
der called on His Excellency, Rear Ad-
miral Oman, on Friday morning at
1915 o'clock, and presented a peti-
ton from St. Croix, containing 1900
signatures, asking aid from Government
preventing the free Importation and sale
of intoxicating liquors of all kinds into
the island.
The claim of the petitioners is that the
18th amendment of the Constitution Of
the United States is operative in that
island, and comes under the interpreted
ton Of the Supreme Court. Added rea-
sons given, are that the operation of pro
hibition, during the time the law has been
in force, has been TO: the moral uplift OF
the people OF the island, and that a
noticeable change for the better has been
observed in their general condition.
Among the 1900 signatures, covering
the two towns and the entire country
district, are those of the Clergymen
representing the movement, the Revs.
CritchIow, BarteIs, Allen, Smith, Peder-
sen, Barrow, Mayhem and Agaard, and
many others in sympathy with the move
ment.
In addition to the very impressive evil
dence of the strength of the prohibition
sentiment in the island, the petition was
accompanied by one representing the
$40 members of the St. Croix Benevolent
Society, an organization for the mutual
benefit of the working people of the
island and signed by the President, Sec
rotary, Vice-President and Committee of
Management of that organization.
These petitions after being read, were
formally presented to His Excellency by
Bishop Greider. Following this, Rev. B.
j. Folensbee read a petition from the
Ministers Association of St. Thomas,
representing the Temperance Societies
and sentiment in favor of prohibition in
the Lutheran Moravian. Wesleyan and
Reformed congregations of the two is

for The difference in price.
In the meantime, there Is considerable
uneasiness among the people. The La
bour Unions have consulted, and we
understand, have conferred with the
Govern "; and it is feared that any de
mands for higher wages, if the price of
sugar should be advanced, will spread to
St, Croix and cause corresponding claims
over there; moreso, if the Lab)ur Unions
of the two islands should join hands for
mutual support.
. And all this, owing. to the sudden DIS
play of a foreign spirit amongst US
Let US hope that a quick amelioration
of the situation may be brought about.
