Adding TO Our Borders.

The suggestion has been revived to
add the Virgin Islands to Porto Rico to
bring the whole group of islands under
one governmental Jurisdiction. 1t may
be but a suggestion. Even so it is worth
considering.
There is no enthusiasm here, nor will
there be, to take on our shoulder any of
the problems which confront the Vir-
gin Islands. The fact remains, however,
that there is no logical reason why the
United States should have here in so
small an area in the Caribbean two
groups of islands under different and in
dependent forms of government. At
least a part Of the Virgin Islanders do
not want to continue under navy rule.
Many people here are just as opposed to
Porto Rico remaining under the War De-
partment. There is more logic in put
ting all the islands under the navy than
having Porto Rico under the direction of
the War Department, COR if one of the
military branches of the government is
to have the responsibility the time has
passed when Porto Rico might serve as
an army base.
der a separate government there is equal
reason to advocate the separation Of Gu.
Zebra and Vieques from Porto Rico to
form another gOvernmen tal unit.
At the present time the Virgin Islands
are experiencing some of the same poll,
teal uncertainties we witnessed and OBJ
jected to between 1898 and 1917. Citi-
zenship should be and will be granted to
the Virgin Islands. They should have
and will have a form OF civil government.
