OF
 VIRGIN ISLANDS
 NOT TO CHANGE
Inspection Committee Files Report On Trip Recent
 ly Completed

Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.- There is apparently little chance of the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, formerly the Danish West Indies, be- ing granted further electoral power than they possess at the present time. This undoubtedly will be the recom- mendation to Congress of the visiting committee - consisting of Senators Gay of Louisiana, Kenyon of Iowa and Edge of New Jersey, and Repre- sentative Garrett of Tennessee, Campbell of Kansas and Towner of Iowa-which has just returned from an inspection trip.
 It is not considered likely that the Virgin Islands will ever be much more than an important naval strate- gic base, which is the reason why the United States bought them from Denmark.
 The trip of the Congressional com mittee was made at the request of some residents of the islands, and also because the Navy Department officials desired it. There had been some agitation in favor of the United States giving the Virgin Islanders what they called "civil government but, according to Representative Tinis J. Garrett, they already possess this. They are now in possession of all the franchise privileges granted by Denmark which includes two elected legislative councils, one for te island of St. Croix and the other for the islands of St John and St. Thomas These are still in existence, an American admiral succeeding the Danish governor as the immediate ruling power. These councils at tend to revenue raising, the judiciary, etc, their acts being subject to the approval of the governor, of course. As MT. Garrett expressed it, 'Ethe substantial thought" of the residents was for a perpetuation of the control of the Navy Department. The islands contain some 28,00O people of whom 1000 are white and the remainder negroes. Some agitators among the latter are credited with the petition i to the United States to change the form of government, and they ob- tained support from members of their own race by implying that the new parent of the Virgin Islands 1 Uncle Sam-would tap his treasury 1 for all necessary funds if the pro- l jected change was made, eliminating | such superflous expenditures as taxes
 on the part of the inhabitants. Natu- rally this was popular.
 As a matter of fact, the Danish l Government for. many years ap-
 propriated about $150,0oo annually l for maintenance in the islands, this being needed over and above the ] revenue produced by taxation. MT 1 Garrett is of the opinion that the
 United States will be required to dc
 the same thing for some time, al | least.
 The island of St Crofx produces
 sugar in bountiful quantities, St
 Thomas has some cattle industry bu
 St. John has practically nothing.

RABBI WISE HAS
 GREATEST FAITH
 IN OUR COUNTRY

q trust in America and no one i3 going to overthrow it, said Rabbi Wise at the banquet of the Master Plumbers, Painters and Decorators in the Stratfield last night.
 we will live because we deserve to live, because we are the greatest de- mocracy the world has ever known, and while not perfect we are working for the right. Believe in America, be American 365 days in the year, not only on the Fourth of July or Memo rial day, for America is what you are and what you aspire to be-
 Speaking more to his subject, Rabbi Wise said that immigration is not Americanization. Immigration is the physical arrival of the immigrant, but when he comes to share the soul of America then he is Americanized Going on he told of the sources from which immigration is drawn, and why an immigrant should be Arnericanized and explained that being an Ameri- can is not simply being born in Amer ] jet but having the aspirations and { achievement of America. American ism is determined by the aspirations and the spirit of the soul. You who are born here do not deserve any credit for being Americans. You i could not help it, he said.
 | term foreigner was voiced by the speaker, who said he would ask our people to cease use of the term, and use New American instead. 'All
 foreigners are not menace to this country Some foreigners are and some natives are, but that is not de- i termined by the land in which they | are born but by their attitude toward
 American institutions. Either let the
 foreigner in or shut him out, but dd not keep him hanging in suspense
 Make him feel he is part of the coun-
 try.''
 At the closing session of the con- vention the following officers were
 elected: President, O. V. Marsh of Hartford; vice presidents, Thomas Newton of Greenwich and Joseph Col Iins of Hartford; secretary and treas
 urer, w. A. Baxter of Hartford; trus zee for three years, c. D Thompson,
 Jr, of New Haven, the retiring p-es- ident. During the afternoon papers on subjects connected with the affairs
 of the convention were read, and some
 minor changes were made in the by
 laws of the society,
 The dinner was the closing event Of
 the two day gathering and brought
 together a party of about POO, many of them from other cities of the state l An excellent menu was served.
