DespatchiDg Secretary (Rupp0Iee) re-
marked lIr. Chairman. We have in

hart IN its pride in accepting these things.
We have all unfortunate class Of people
at the Lep2r Asylum, many Of the things
that 60 to make up the Joy Of life are
cat off from them. They enjoy the sun
shine and things we find pleasure in, bat
they are confined. There are people who
wish to place in their lives some Of the
pleasures nOW denied them. These peo-
pie cannot go and ask for money before
knowing the money can be spent for the
purpose for which it was asked. This
seems to NE q very 5GIall matter. 1t is
not CHASING this island as poor.
LIST Member for FYe6eriksted Country
District (AnderSen) SAID, Mr.. Chairman
May | ask that an attempt be made in
this island to raise the necessary funds
by public subscription. Give Us an op~
portunity to contribute TO q thing Of this
kind.
BAD Member for C"hristfansted Town
(Cdncg0ta) remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
/ would like to know why it is necessary
to give the sanction Of the Colonial
Council before the money is forthcom-
ipg? If the money was given as a deed
OF gift for a special object the Munich
pality would be bound 10 respect it The
Odd Fellows offered theirs as a gift ana
it was accepted.
Government Secretary (Gqfe8g) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. just to 90 fur
ther-The gift was given to the MUM
cipality, but the control Of it was not
vested in the Municipality. The Board
OF Management was given control. This
is not a deed of gift. The Council is
not asked today in any way to place
something upon Municipal land which
would be controlled by authority outside
OF the Government of the Virgin Islands.
All that IS necessary is to add a para
graph that an attempt be made to raise
the money by subscription in ST. Croix
to build the pavilion, if that fails then
the balance follows. The people feel
that they are contributing for a purpose
and want to know that the money would

Il any one wishes to contribute some

their discussions with the French
about making Germany pay. II in
this matter our government has
not possessed the full confidence of
the British nation. they have only
themselves to blame. They are
now rsaping the consequences Of
the wicked folly which leads them

ventures in Mesopotamia. to which
every taxpayer objects. We can
see that they have made. q terrible
mess Of the Greek invasion Of Asia
Minor, and many regard the prime

on August as obstinately pro-
vocative. In their zeal for the
Czechoslovaks and the Jugoslavs
they have Joined in turning
Austria into q new "Sick Man OF
Europe" with consequences which
may lead to war. Is It surprising
that the bulk OF the nation
wonders whether our government,
who have made nearly avery DOS
sible mistake in foreign affairs.
have been taking the right line
about German reparations2
For the French are right in this,
that Germany can pay, and must
pay. We are being misled about
the consequences to Germany Of
the fall of the mark. The people
who have paid for the slump Of
the mark are the foreigners who
bought immense quantities OF
paper marks. They have borne
the loss. and Germany has not felt
the decline sc much as excited
onlookers suggest. There are
hardly any bankrupts in Germany,
and very few unemployed. Until
now the output Of German mills
and factories has been enormous.
We may not endorse some of the
measures which French extremists
wished to take against the Ger
mans, but what our people feel In
stinctive|y Is that our government
want to let Germany off, while
France insists that she must not
escape the consequences Of her
crimes.
MISLED ABOUT GERMANY.
1t will not be suggested here
that the grave crisis which arose
about German reparations implied
another war.cloud, but it un.
doubtedly deepened the gloom
which rests over Europe. The Old
World has been slipping backwards
