The Virgin Islanders have up and gone and done it. Yes, sir. Uhclc Sam has tried for the last decade to convince the world that by acquiring the islands and inflicting its prohibition laws upon them that cer- tain natural industries weren't ruined. But the colonial council just annuled unanim- ously its local dry law and petitioned Con- gress to exempt the Virgin Islands from national prohibition. Just little rum for the Virgin Islanders is desired.
