January 26, 1926.
Honorable Curtis D. Wilbur,
Secretary of the Navy.
My dear Mr.. Secretary:
have the honor 10 refer to your
letter of November 80, 1925, transmit
ing a letter to you, together with en-
closures, from the Governor of the Vir-
gin Islands. It is noted that he e~ncloses
a copy of q petition to him signed by %
planters of st. CroiX, representing that
a serious shortage of labor existed in
the Islands at that time and requesting
the cooperation Of the Governor OF the
Virgin Islands in securing labOrprs from
the British West Indies. Special atten-
ton is called by the Governor to the pa
ragraph insthe petition reading:
We beg to call the Governors atten-
ton to the serious situation and it
nothing can be done there is every pos
sibility that cultivation must be dlscon-
tinued."
The Governor requests that tbs De
parlmpnt be asked as to whether or not
an Interpretation can be placed on the
Immigration law that would permit the
importation Of labor from the British
I~slancs.
1t is understood that since June of
last year the Immigration laws of the
United States are being enforced in the
Virgin IsIanos by the Governor. That
being 50, this Department is nor aware
Of any Interpretation Of he immigration
laws under which laborers could be I'M
ported from abroad without violating
the contract labor provisions of the I'm
migration Act of 1917. 1t is also i'm
possible to see how iaborers. for the cuI-

sidered skilled Iaborers, and it is only
skilled laborers for whose importation
permission can be given under the fourth

on to prohibition?
The young people of today enjoy
much more freedom than they did,
and what cause have we to think that
they would cbe any different on ac-
count of open saloons?
In spite of hard times and prohi-
bition, most working men and farmers,
even renters, have a car, and much
is spent for movies and other pleas
ure, that there was no money for g
few years ago; and more of US car

came, but where did they hide last

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Feb. 10-Party ami
mosities are rising every day in
Washington official life. The need
for partisanship becomes apparent as
the spring primaries approach. Dur
ing the last few months it has been
difficult to find any marked partisan
ship, especially in taxes, appropria-
tions, and World Court issues. The
truce is about at an end.
The raising of party standards
finds the followers in various camps
looking around for issues. Unless
there is some notable and sensational
contributions to the political situation
within the mex few weeks, the voters
will be advised to make their choice
between men representing parties
rather than parties representing
measures. 1t is difficult to classify
them nowadays. .
d '#
The Senate continues to struggle
over the internal revenue measure.
Both camps work with finger on the
public's pulse and each tries to over
reach the other in reducing taxes
which will affect the largest number
of voting age.
held in May so that the present in
cumbents are scanning the calendar
closely accepting any and all invi-
tations to speak before organizations
in their home districts.
Among the things you hear in the
cloak rooms at the Capitol are the
possible effects of the investigation
into the proposed combine of baking
interests. Some legislators are hop
ing that the cry of "trust busting"
will bring results. They anticipate
some political advantage in the grain
growing states where the producer of
wheat may become peeved at the
profit of those who convert grain in
to food. In addition, the recent au-
thority given by the Senate to the
Federal Trade Commission this will
give that investigating body some
thing to do. AT present their activi-
ties are confined to fighting among
themselves as to policies.
n
Just when everybody thought the
swet" and 'dry" issue was suppressed
for the balance of the session, the
report of the Church Temporace So
ciety of the Episcopalian Church is
creating a furore in political circles.
1t is obvious however, that no change
will be seriously considered at this
session of Congress. Some political
observers predict that the "wet' and
"dry" forces will make capital of
this latest report at the primaries.
Members of Congress have been
talking over suggestions made on the
floor of the House this week by a
member who criticized the American
newspapers for their seeming neglect
of the national legislature 1t was
his contention that our newspapers
should follow the precedent of the
British press in giving considerable
space to proceedings of Congress. The $
claim was advanced that in neglect
ing Congress newspapers are whiting
ly or unwittingly making an effort
''to exalt the executive branch of the
Government. !" There is nothing new
in this criticism as the executive and
legislative branches of the Govern
ment are always jealous of their pre-
negatives. 1t has been aptly said that
Isolation is wretchedness to man."

vision between the Senate and the

House. AS an illustration, one SEN
ator appearing before House sub
committee this week apologized for
his presence but stated that it was
only at the urgent request of his
constituents. Certain House MEM
bers are criticizing the Senate these
days because of it's apparent delay in
handling legislation already passed
by the House.
The country should be grateful for
the delay for statistical study
shows that $4,000 bills have already
been introduced in Congress. Ac-
cording to a critic in the Lower
House, the Senate has acted on only
three important measures, while the
House has passed more than score.
Those who have followed the SEN
sational Mitchell trial are enjoying a
quiet laugh at recent developments.
Having been shorn of his military
title, Mister Mitchell is on lecture
tour of the country. Like other good
publicists, Mister Mitchell is capital
izing on the recent inquiry by Con-
gress. The admission charge to his
lectures is sufficient to insure him
an income for each talk far in excess
of his yearly salary as an Army Of
ficer. Undoubtedly the champion of
more publicity for aviation will be in
creasing his space rates for articles
in publications. Somehow the feeling
exists in Washington, even among
the friends of Mister Mitchell, that
having lost the glamour of martydom,
interest in his activities will diminish.
He is now in a position to enjoy the
liberty of speech with the constitu-
tional guaranty of every other Amer
lean citizen who was his defiance of
military restriction that brought the
spotlight upon him.

Is Prohibition a Farce?

We often hear the statement made
that prohibition is failure. But is
it?
1t is fact, that the law is not even
half enforced and that if one wants
moonshine very bad it can be had?
But if we will really stop to con-
slider, do not see how we can help
but notice great difference.

myself, have seen over half dozen
DRINKS in the last seven or eight
years.
Before that one could hardly go to

farms in a newer part of the country
that were taken over by saloon keep
ers to pay booze bill.
While now l think there are quite
a few that are paid for by moon

that lacked fuel, food and clothes on
account of booze. But at present ]

whence he came. The fun is on. A
Wynn story is told, and before the
audience has regained control Of itself
a number called the Birth of a Chorus
Girl is begun. It's neat enough in
its way. but the audience is taking
breather while Wynn is preparing for
his next. He returns with Shaw and

nicely as a Wynn audience.

"Spaniards." The "Spanards" do well
enough. but are eclipsed by this man

margin on points.
The second act produces Wynn
again in his livery stable, "Someplace"

are veterans, but lively. sprightly bits
Next to Wynn in this act, are the
Nolga boys, who stopped the show
with their singing These eight, re-
puted to be and looking like Russians,
sang the "Volga Boatman's Song" as
it seldom is heard and were given
tumultuous applause.
In addition to Wynn and the Volga
