Virgin Island oppression
Foreign Capital Withdrawn; Income
Tax and Prohibition the Knock
Out Blow.
The New York Herald Tribune, Sunday,
June III, 1925
To The New York Herald Tribune:

70 The New York Herald Tribune:
A few prominent American business
men have acquired as to the reasons Of
the acute economic depression prevailing
in the Virgin Islands at present. 1t is
my purpose TO supplement responses al
ready made with the following brief out
line:
These islands are very small 1872
square miles-ani inhabited by only
rs, 900 persons; they were purchased at a
time when the entire world was, in a
state of confusion, owing to the great war
which the United States entered one week
after the transfer. The United States
having her hands filled with other mat
ters of greater Importance could not con
centrate on the islands and as d c0nsa
Quence they were lett WilhOuC that di.
rect interest or attention which is 50
beneficial to a community. This state.
which began in 1917, has Deen allowed to
continue TO present time, as the nation
has continued 70 have its hands filled
with more or less important problems
from that time On.
These islands have for more than $50
years beea accustomed 70 the ways Of III-
tie Denmark. VINO. from having few
DIOUIGtlS " CblIbttlQ WlOiis was DIT al
times able to keep in very close ouch
with the conditions in the islands. en-
cOuraging Danes and DaDiSh capital to
come to the islands. and things were
moving along in q fairly prosperous man
ner. This state of affairs caused the is
landers to depend almost solely on the
national government of Denmark for
keeping the islands abreast OF the times.
The islanders thus made good followers,
but bad Leaders, Aad, therefore, when
they were transferred to a nation whose
policy is first help yourself before | will
help you," the islanders were not pre-
pared, and. as it were. threw up their
hands.
Had the United States at this juncture
come forward and educated them in the
new method things would have been diff
ferert, but they were JUST allowed to
drift along, not adapting things to suit
changed conditions due to modern science
and inventions. Then the foreign capital
that was keeping the islands going be
gan to withdraw and the islands began
to sink economically.
Formerly the port of ST. Thomas was
the headquarters in the Virgin Islands,
or rather in the West Indies, for the
Hamburg-AmerIcan Line. the Royal Mail
Steam Packer Company, the East ASiatic
Company, the Compagnie General Trans
atlantique and the Frederick Leyland

lines of steamers, which caused the is
lands te boom IN trade. Ihey have all
withdrawn. None of them has been
substituted by American lines. British
capital mlintalned at St. Thomas a toat-
ing dry dock and marine repair shop;
they recently Withdrew, selling out to a
local concern.
The dock has since sunk, has not been
replaced, and the maine repair shop is,
as a o%nseQuence, closed. In st. CrOlX a
chain OF sugar factories and sugar cane
estates. owned by Danish capital, mas
been sold out to local concerns, and that
much capital removed from the island.
Production was thereby tremendously
curtalieu.
ADDED to the above state of affairs.
Congress, without Knowing SuTlcIently
the internal conditions OF the islands, mas
extended several Federal acts 10 them,
two OF Whlcn Federal Income tax ana
tedeGai prohibition have assisted IN ap-

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
SPECULATION AND INVESTMENT.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.


Two men were discussing securi-
ties in brokers' office the other day.
One was an investor and the other
was a speculator. The investor was
dwelling upon the merits of GER
tain high-grade stock. He pointed
out the large equities behind the
shares, the established earning power
and the favorable outlook. The spec
ulator was skepticai.
IF all you say is true" he asked.
why doesn't It go up?" As a specu-
lator he had no interest in any Sc
curity, no matter what the intrinsic
value, unless 1t moved" Contrary
wise, II the market price of a stock
or bond was going down that fact
would outweigh in his mind anything
that any one might say in support
of its real value. This is the typical
attitude of a speculator. Perhaps
from his standpoint it is the proper
attitude, but to take such a view
would be a fatal mistake for an
investor
1t is true that in the long run the
market price will reflect real value
but this may not be true at any par
ticular time and it is not a guide
which can be relied upon without
qualification. In the same way spec.
ulators put more stress upon the i'm
portance of a market than does the
investor. Again, this is good STRAIT
egy for the speculator. out it is not
of the same Importance to the in
vestor
1t is not wise to put all your funds
into securities for which there is not
ready sale. but there can be no
objection to having a proSortion of
your savings in these less marketable
obligations. A real estate mortgage
is not usually saleable. but it may
be very excellent investment The
moral is when you are debating with
yourself an investment opportunity
YOU will get no light upon the subject
from speculative sources.

COTTON STANDARDS
ARE GIVEN APPROVAL
Representatives of Foreign Asso'
Citations Agree on Grading
Formulated Here.

Twenty-three copies of the forty sets
of universal cotton standards pre-
pared by the Department of Agri-
culture were approved yesterday by
representatives of European and
American cotton associations.
Six deputy United States marshals
are on guard in the building in
which the original samples and copies
are on display. The original samples.
graded at a conference of cotton men
in London year ago, have since that
time been under seal in a vault at
the Treasury Department.
The fact that very little cotton OF
the middIing fair grade was produced
in this country last year was dis
closed by department officials when
they told the visiting experts that
$4,000 had been expended in a search
of that quality. They found bale
that, while not meeting the standard
as to the exact color, was of standard
texture The experts accepted the
sample as standard for the year.

MEATS FOR STEAMERS
ARE CLOSELY GRADED
Government Officials Check Up
100000 Pounds for United
States Lines Alone in Year.

More than 10000 pounds of meat
purchased by steamship lines operat-
ing out of New York last year were
graded by Federal Department of
Agriculture officials. Nearly 5000, ,800
pounds were graded for the U. S. Lines
alone.
The departments meat grading
service was established in 1923 to
correct long existing practices on the
part of some dealers of misrepresent-
ing the quality of the products de-
livered to the steamship lines. 1t was
common, for example, to represent
COW beef and stag beef as choice steer
beef, and to substitute cuts from
yearling and mutton carcasses for
lamb.
An investigation by the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicated that the
situation was the result of a lack of
dependable standards for grading
meats.
