SAM. SUGAR AND RUM

There are distinct advantages in try
ing experiments on humln guinea pigs
who cannot escape and who have no vote
or effective lobby in Congress. Hence
it is easy to understand the zest with
which our new founding fathers
bounced on the idea of using the Vir-
gin islands for few more experiments
in paternaism. The laboratory itch is
strong in Washington. and the opportu
mites for attempting experiments are
growing less throughout the United
States as the country is gradually awak
ening to what some of the New Dealers
are trying TO do. That furniture factory
in West Virginia the other day it was
too much even for the Congressional
BRIDESMAID of its White House sponsor
But the Virgin Islands perfect! We
are not. the Washington correspondents
assure US, going to attempt to develop
a complete collective state. Washing
ton apparently does noC plan to operate

Random Notes

Below are reproduced articles from
the New York Herald Tribune" and
The Daily News of St. Thomas.
The one is an editorial from leading
American paper. the expression of free
and independent thought. The contact
which these newspaper writer's nave with
the men in high political Office and with
the most humble ones in the United
States places them in the position TO
visualize the ultimate result of the sort
of experiment proposed in Council Bill
No. 27. They know that men can be-
come drunk with power they see it
around them every day The state of
drunkenness will vary in comparison
with the nature of the power with which
they are vested. Extreme powers over
the minds. the activities. the very lives
of an entire population will make the
men at the top delirious.
Then nobody Knows what will be the
result Of the tearing down of the islands
economic structure and the setting up
in its place of something hitherto un-
tried and which the proDonets dare not
offer the American people
The words from the Daily News" falls
on our ears like sounds from a mega
phone Employees of the Government
should exhbit the good taste and the
fairness to allow the people who carry
the economic burden of the island to
decide issues like the one before them.
Any man employed under the Govern
ment who directly endeavors by argu-
ment. coercion or violence to force
upon a people measure introduced by
the Government stands upon the screen
of public opinion as a common tool of
the authorities or puppy barking FOR
his bones.

PROPAGANDA FROM THE VOCA-
TlONAL II STITUTE
Extract from an article s ned by a
Yong student of the vocau0nal IN l.
tute) brimful Of inexperlence.

According to government officials the
main reason for the starting or such a
Company is to put the Islands on self
supporting basis. which would stop the
yearly national contributions n9c9Ssary
10 balance the bad get Of s.. Croix.
However. due TO political malice and
thorough m,sunders landing of certain
rights which any Industrial Company
must have in order to function properly
unfair, apd foolish opposition is being
buried against the passage of this Bill.
The chief cause OF opposition being the
com mon Right of Eminent Domain
Due to information given out by pro-
minent educated leaders some of the SIM
pie natives actually believe that this right
would make them slaves, that 1t is some
terrible weapon with which the
government or a government official
could demand az wish and AT any price
a citizens property or best girl and re-
caive no back answers. Inc million dol
lars according to these same leaders
should be divided evenly among the
citizens Of the islands.
The situation is getting so tense AMI
disgusting that macy people are pre-
dieting that the 'Job-lke" patience of
the higher officials will soon snap and st.
Croix will not begged to receive ia
vors any longer
