goods, or the same managing or sell
ing staff can plan the production or
carry out the sale of larger output.
And unused capacity is always waste,
even though sometimes ii may be
unavoidable. The efficiency of Amerf'
can industry is probably due in part
to an unusually keen sense of unused
capacities and an unusually urgent
drive toward their utilization
This campaign to eliminate the
waste of unused capacity is the prin-
cipal cause of the American trend
toward big business units.
And yet the doctrine has a meaning
even for the small business man.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Waste of Unused Capacity.

Failure to understand the meaning
of overhead costs is one of the most
frequent causes of business failure.
Overhead includes constant factors
in the cost of doing business such as
rent, executive salaries, and invest
ment in machinery. Unless the proper
parts of such costs are included in
the selling prices quoted on merchan-
disc, the business man after period
will discover that he has been carry
ing on trade at a loss-a thankless
procedure. which is ultimately re-
Warded with bankruptcy.
A more sophisticated grasp of the
meaning of overhead costs on the part
of big business men is the motive
force behind the great era of mass
production in the United States.
Business managers discovered that
they could increase operations without
adding to overhead costs, and that
therefore it was cheaper per unit to
produce large quantities of goods than
small.
Swaps Management Experience.
Occasionally, some of the wise men
of industry gather in the halls of the
Taylor Society, New York to swap

experiences on subtle problems of
management.
AT a recent session, John Maurice
Clark, Columbia University economist,
expressed the new business policy con-
corning the waste of having unused
capacity.
''One of the most troublesome
aspects of overhead costs" said Prof.
Clark, Consists in the fact that some
of the costs do not vary much with
variations in output. They are. in
certain situations, at least, constant
or relatively so. Whenever this is the
case. it is a symptom of "A more funda-
mental industrial fact. It means that
some of the productive facilities for
which expenses have been incurred
have unused capacity. They can pro.
duce more than they are producing.

The Honorable,
The Chairman of the Colonial Council,
Municipality of Saint Croix,
ST CrOix, Virgin Islands,
Through the Despatching Secretary.
My dear Mr.. Chairman:
| had anticipated the plea
sure Of attending your meeting on Mon
day, May 16. 1927, md of addressing the
Honorable Gentlemen Of the Colonial
Council on matters Of interest to the
people of St. CroiX. Circumstances, how
ever, prevent me from doing SO, but |
am enclosing a message bearing on i'm
portant phases of our work here, and |
would ask that this message be read to
the Colonial Council when it cOnVenes on
Monday.
Respectfully,
, 1927-05-20
The message reads:
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR OF
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS TO THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF SAINT
CROIX-MAY 16, 1927.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Colonial Council of Saint CroiX:
| regret very much that circumstances
prevent me from appearing before you
in person at this time for | had antlci-
pated the pleasure, ! am, however, TAX
ing this opportunity of bringing to your
attention certain matters relating closely
to the future prosperity Of the islands.
The labor situation, | understand, is
one that must be remedied for without
labor we cannOt harvest our crops nor
carry on the agricultural work necessary
for the maintenance of the people Of
these islands. The suggestion has been
made frequently that British labor be
imported. This, of course, will require
Congressional action and, frankly, | do
not believe that Congress will authorize
such a measure for reasons many OF
which must De obvious. | therefore
ask that a study be made OF the condl-
tions under which Porto Rican labor may
be brought into these islands and salts
factOrily employed. UnQuestiOnably, this
field must be explored. 1T we have
met with reVerses in our first attempt,
the subject must be studied in order that
these people may come and live un-
der conditions that will spell content
ment. l will be glad to have the Gov
eminent work with you in this line to
the end that we may bring selected la.
borers, with their families, into Saint
Croix with the firm hope that they will
be ~contented and work for the mutual
benefit of the island and themselves.
My visit of two weeks among you in
this island has brought home to me the
need of additional funds for the public
schools. Not. alone do the public build
ing8 need attention but in the schools
, 1927-05-20

there is dire need tor new equipment.
1t is needless to say that the children
should command this right to be taught
the fundamentals OF education and h0pe
that we may provide better means tor
the foundation Of an education for each
child in the island.
In this connection, | note also that
funds are badly needed for the pubic
libraries. To my mind no single lnstltu-
ton is so beneficial to a community as a
Public Library and particularly IN an lscla-
ted island like Saint CroiX we should have
a pu1' &c library that we can point to with
pride and one in which our children and
ourselves can have the untold joy anc
learning that is impaired to US through
the medium of good books. But, OF course,
gentlemen, this requires money.
The unexpected demise Of Mr.. Meyer
has occasioned the temporary appoint
ment of Lieutenant Gromfine, the Assls-
tant Public Works Officer, as Temporary
Chairman of the Road Commission Of
Saint CrOix. feel that the services OF q
technical man are needed on this com.
mission and ! feel certain that the sur
e he will make will be most beneficial.
| ask, therefore, that the members OF the
commission and the citizens OF SAINT
OEOIA RGEGldly l6SpUuu ~ LtI Nci IL 'H~
Chairman in order that our highways
may be put IN such a condition that they
will invite tourists and improve economic
factors in our distribution costs. ! h5ve
requested the temporary Chairna an 70
make a study of the whole situation and
it is possible that, at some later date, l
will give the Council some recommended
tiOns for changes in the law, ii, 0y such
changes, we may improve our roads and
particularly the Center Line Road which
should be built to withstand the increas-
ingiy heavy traffic. No single thing
could add more prosperity to the islands
than a modern highway between the two
cities.
The Budget for the year 1928 has been
given careful consideration by me. |
have increased the deficit for the island
Of Saint Croix in the sum OF approx
mately Frs. &c, 600. 90 and making a total
of Francs 600. 900 90. This | have done
in spite of the b~eneficence OF Congress IN
reducing your sugar tax. / have felt thai
additional funds we're due Saint Cr0lX
because of the failure in the past to give
prOpCrionately between the islands and
because there are maintained in this IS
land certain public institutions the pro
portionate cost of operation OF which IS
Aot borne by Saint Thomas You Will
understand, therefore, that this increase
in the budgetted deficit IS occasioned by
my desire to equalize the burden OF the
two ronpicipoliripc have NOT AMI hOTIZ-
