Under CORES ii jeaca in this issue
space is given u 1it. Ashley L. Totten's
views on how be THINKS the islands would
gain a productive hearing for their cause
on the mainIau T.. Il is i fact that up to
the present little or no advance has been
made in this direction, and as time goes
on the necessity for action becomes more
and more pressing, The exodus from st.
Croix alone, the best Of the island group,
is in itself an Indication off the fact that
either nothing is expected in the way of
ameIioration Of the depressed conditions,
or that it is impossible to await such
changes as may be coming. Now is not
the time to scruple about differences of
personal opinion nor of party prejudlces;
such tactics will get US nowhere in our
Judgement and it appears that unless
something wonderful happens within a
short while ours will cease to be a ques-
ton at all for there will be nobody left
on whose behalf to wage it, or who will
be able to wage it for himself. Mr.. Tot

Dear Sir
AS a native of the Virgin Islands,
and one who is deeply interested in the
future welfare of the people Of the three
islands, beg leave to submit for publ
cation a positive solution for the con
mic depression in the ISLANDS at the pres

no desire for controversy, and crave

criticisms only.

Gus arguments advanced from all source
that the thing most needed at the pres

1t is also admitted by all local newspa-

TION it will be.
/ am writing to advise that it is indeed
a waste of time to sit around idly and
await results from any of the recent
visits of commissioners, or any of the
powers that be at Washington.
There is but one thing that they are
interested in, and that is their political
future.

minds the sad impression that anything
will ever come out these fat promises.

government, are dependent upon the
people Of the United States 10 keep them
