Can it be true that in the
rum-producing Virgin Islands
there is also brewed a strange
elixir which prolongs the reign
of Governor Paul M. Pearson?
Or is it the political brew of
Washington which lends the
governor the necessary strength
to hang on to his office despite
opposition of the people of the
islands and many Administra-
tion leaders?
Early in 1881 Governor Pear
son was appointed to head the
civil government Of the islands
that took charge following con-
troll by the United States Navy.
Jurisdiction had been transfer
red to the Interior Department.
Within short time trouble
arose. Complaints were made
about Pearson'S inability to lead
the civil government. Interior
Department officials asked that
Pearson be given further trial.
He was a Hoover appointee
and it was believed that he
would be removed in the Roose-
welt administration. He has
held on.
Secretary of Interior Ickes is
one of the strongest political
pins holding Pearson in place.
Whenever recommendations are
made asking the governors re-
moval, Secretary Ickes inter-
cedeS. Thus far his efforts to
keep Pearson in office have Off
set other efforts to have him
removed.
When Congress goes home
Postmaster General Jim Far
ley and others are apt to see
the President about Mr.. Pear
son. For, as one very high Of
ficial said:
II won't say that many men
in the Administration want
Pearson removed.
"What 1 will say is that there
are darn few men that don't
want him removed!"
When Franklin D. Roosevelt
rode down Pennsylvania Avenue
with President Hoover to the
Capitol on March 4, 1888, to
take over his new office as
Chief Executive he promised
that he would "take care of"
Walter Newton, HooVer'S Sec
retary.
How long that promise holds
good is the question in Mr.. New
toms mind.
President Roosevelt appointed
him to the Home Loan Bank
Board as one of the Repub-
lican members of the board.
The appointment expires July
%.
Whether President Roosevelt
will feel obligated to reappoint
Newton to keep his promise is
unknown.
The law provides that men,
bers of the board be appointed
for two, three, four, five and
six years, depending on the va
cancy. If Newton is reappOint-
ed he will be named for the
Six-year term.
He has been taken care for a
year, as he filled an unexpired
term.
Will President Roosevelt take
The Washington times., 1934-05-30

care Of him for another six
years?
That famous mural known
as the Ladies in Cheesecloth"
which adornS the wall across
from Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace'S office may
have provoked considerable
controversy in that department.
At the Home Owners Loan
Corporation they are worrying

ment of venetian blinds on win
dowS. But the Slated blinds
which would admit light and
air need not be delivered for
several months yet under the
terms of the contract.
So 400 yards of cheesecloth
were fashioned into curtains.
They are hung at the major
Ivy VI W111uOWS.
They admit light but not air.
Anyone who doubts the
beauty of the mural Ladies
in Cheesecloth" at the Depart
ment of Agriculture should see
the windows in cheesecloth at
Home Owners Loan.
In the coves and harbors
of the United States 277 freight
vessels and 86 passenger ships
swing at anchor with the tides,
rusting and rotting.
They are the remains of
the Government-controlled mer-
chant marine,
Economists, of whom there
are so many around this town,
preach about distribution of
commodities. The products Of
one nation should be ex-
changed for those of another,
they say.
There is a fleet of 1863 ships
rusting away.
Millions of men are unem-
ployed. Theorists cry:
Put them to work."
Of the 1863 ships rotting in
the marine graveyards, 228 are
in operating condition and
have some value for national
defense.
But hogs are slaughtered,
grain plowed under, and sur
pluses give headaches to eco
nomists as an attempt is made
to determine what to do with
the excess Of production.
Close by to ship graveyards,
usually live fishing folk and
seafarers of all descriptions.
They could use the rope, the
small boats, the fixtures of
many of the obsolete craft. But
they cannot buy equipment.
To get one small fixture 1t
IS necessary to buy the entire
boat.
Few fishermen can purchase
ocean-going vessels.
There is a widespread cry
for economy. Some money
could be made from the sale
of ship hardware. But that Is
not in the scheme of govern
ment.
Private ships are being put
into commission.
A nations fleet is rusting at
anchor.
