This, Their, gives US two alternatives
to choo G from. Fret, to cut IN half the
money now spent for education and
thereby let our youth grow to manhood
with hat the education they a e now re-
c|eiying. To cut in half the amount now
sDant in the care of the sick at the hospi-
tails and thus let them suffer In proportion.
To cut in half the amount now spent for
sanitation and thereby incur the risk of
serious epidemics. To cut H. half all
other items of governmental expenditure
and thereby reduce the efficiency Of the
Government by one half.
We must either do this or raise through
taxation the money necessary to prevent
il Tbs would mean that, to raise
through t xation the equivalent amount,
II would be necessary to double all fUTms
Of taxation. We would have to double
the income tax rate, double the import
duty rae, double our real ard personal
rrorerty taxes, double our trade and
linp TAX rates, double all court and
other fees, and in fact double everything

We 6ayy already taken the first big mi
tiai step by adopting the Resolution
of February 7, 1924, containing tie eight
, 1924-04-04

Already much has been done tC for
ward this platform. The matter of per-
manent water supplies fYOr the three
towns of 81. Thomas, Christiansted and
Frederiksted, is we'll on its way towards
accomplishment. The matter of inn
pounding water for agricultural purposes
has been investigated and we await the
report of the Irrigation Engineer sent
here by the Department Of the Interior.
We have the assurance of the Secretary
of State that the pending Brtish-Ameri-
can treaty, whereby British vessels will be
allowed to enter ports CT the United
States with liquor under seal, will include
the ports of the Virgin Islands.
Therefore, our greatest danger is that
our carefully laid plans may be upset by
action from the outside, official or unOil-
clal.
With regard to this bill. the unofficial
action of the person or persons who re-
Quested Senator Mclean to introduce it
in the Senate is a direct anC vital danger
to the plans we have Sc carefully laid for
increasing our prosperity. we should
eliminate this danger APONCE.
What is likely to happen TO this bill to
provide a permanent civil form of Gov
eminent for the Virgin Islands? 1t is
now on the calender of the Senate Com
mittee on Territories and lnsuIar posses
sions, having been regularly introduced
in the Senate by a member Of this CON-
mittee.
Having been thus formally presented
TO The United States Senate, it follows
that it will receive serious consideration.
How soon this serious consideration will
be given ii, no one can tell. Ii might be
tomorrow, itmight not be for weeks.
Is it wise, then, in view Of the possibi-
lily Of its immediate consideration by the
Senate. for US not to delay action even
for 3 day with such a possibility? En-
phaticaliy, No. The people Of the Vir-
gin Islands should at once take definite
and dl astic sters TO place themselves
on record 3s entirely opposed 10 this bill,
and to formally repudlate TIN" person or
persons who requested Senator Mclean
to introduce ii to the Senate.
The only manner in which the people
may adequately express themselves with
regard TO this bin, is by formal resolution
adopted by the TWO Colonial Councils.
Such resolution to specifically declare
that the people of these islands are utter
ly opposed to the proposed new form of
government for the Virgin Islands, and
