this opportunity to thank the President
for all he has done for US and to wish him
many happy returns on his birthday ana
to pray to help him to carry out all he
has undertaken
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Chdbert): Mr.. Chairman | intend 10
vote for this resolution and inasmuch as
criticism has been offered | will try to IN
derstand it because would not like to
vote for anything of which have no
knowledge. The first paragraph to which
objection has been raised says:
WHEREAS = President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's far reaching interest in civic
welfare has been strikingly extended to
the people of these Virgin Islands.
1t has been extended: the President
suggested that so much money be sent to
help the people of the Virgin Islands and
if the real spirit of the Preside nt's plan
in extending this help is not carried out,
is not his fault
The second paragraph reads:
WHEREAS = the berign effects of
this interests have been varCusly ard
repeadlv experienced by the citizens of
ST. Croix".
That is also true. because everyone or
the federal relief agencies has been ex.
tended to these islands. even The distrl-
bution of food If some people did not
get enough and others got none it is not
the Presidents fault. he did see that the
Virgin Islands get their share.
The third paragraph reads:
WHEREAS = We the members of
the Colonial Council of ST. Croix. the
chosen representatives of the people are
deeply appreciative of every NANTES
tation of his sympathetic in terest."
This third paragraph simply says we
appreciate the interest the President is
manifesting in US. Well. if some of US
feel that the Presidents intention has
not been properly carried out we have
right to state our objections, the only
thing is feel that now is not the time to
make them. would ask that every men,
Der of this Council vote for this resOlu-

Even in continental United States today
much fault is being found with the
Presidents new deal. we know that Con-

Air Travel at High Attitudes.
(Kansas City Times ]


 It is difficult to imagine a greater demonstra- ton of the advancement of transport aircraft than that to be seen in the remarkable dash across the United States by Douglas airner of Trans continental and Western Air Inc in the brief span of Il hours, 5 minutes and AS seconds
 One of the outstanding features of the perform ance was in the fact that, although delayed over the Rockies by ice and snow and over Western Kansas by dust, the air transport machine arrived in New York barely more than one hour behind the record for the same distance for special racing aircraft. It is not difficult to believe that even the present racing plane record for trans continental flight will be lowered by transport aircraft in the near future
 With the beginning of this most recent of record dashes by the air line plane came also the an- nouncement by T. & w. A., that it is interested in scheduled flight at high attitudes that in sense the fast flight of its Douglas monoplane was started for the purpose of determining certain ideas in connection with high altitude flying That the air line long has been interested in high flight levels as a means of avoiding storms in the air and so establishing even higher percentage of completed schedules, is well known

CONGRESS GAN SET EXAMPLE.

With spring in full bloom and summer but a short step away Congressmen, like the birds that trek north, begin to tire of affairs in Washington and look longingly toward home pastures The glamour of the winter in the National Capital is beginning to off and despite the jam of legislative machinery the soons thinking strong ly of the political fences back home that need repairing here and there In private 1t is reported that there is talk of early adjournment for the and then a session again in the fai, but is doubtful if the idea gets than passing strength.
 It would appear that the Congress is up against about what every legislative body into toward the end of it's deliberations. and that is heavy calendar of important matters that have been shunted aside fIcm time to time for political or other reasons. The Presidents social security pro- gram, MIRA extension, the banking bill and other issues presented early in the session and they are still in much the shape when they came into being. About the outstanding action that has been taken thus far is passage of the Chief Executives s40OooOO0o0 work relief program. So the Congress finds itself in something of 8 pickle and, of course, being human begins to wonder just what be put off until other time.
 If a private business found itself in such a predicament, and it means to continue a going concern it would settle down to hard work and begin digging. It would know that insolvency would be the price of putting off until another time something that should be disposed of at once. The Senators and Representatives doing the nations business and it would seem appropriate for them to set example. They will find, and most of them know that there is no use ducking the important matters still to be disposed of Instead of dreaming about pleasant vacation jaunts if the Congressmen will settle down to the business at hand and quit worrying about the shouting of Father Coughlin, Huey Long and the rest of the Utopians they can dispose of their work and still have a few weeks of summer left to enjoy. Business with restored confidence is going ahead and it is entitled to the impetus settlement of the matters before Congress will give it.
