EDITORIAL

Mr. Andrew Pedro's letter, printed in
the Tribune yesterday has started much
unfavorable comment in this town. The
Catherine" for many years has been a
visitor at our port, calling here every
week, bringfE= ~ mails and cargo
There have been occasions when the re-
.newal Of the mail contract seemed I'm
certain. On these occasions the merchants
and others have petitioned the Postmas
ter General at Washington, praying that
the Catherine" which is the only steam
er calling regularly at this port be kept
In the Government eservice. In sending
these petitions to Washington the point
emphasized was the passenger service
because other steamers were ready to bring
the cargo. Since the transfer of theVirgin
Islands to the United States of America
trade between these islands have increas
ed to q great extent. We ship cattle and
other livestock to Puerto Rico and we
purchase general merchandise and build
ing material there.
1t has followed, naturally, that more PEG
pie travel between the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico and they prefer to travel on
the Catherine instead of q small boats
1t happens that one of the ladies who
complained about the accommodation on
the boat while travelling from Puerto Rico
Ii closely related to merchant who stood
out among those who were instrumental
in bringing the Catherine to this port, who
instructed his shippers to ship all his goods
over the Bull Line and has done sill that he
possibly could to keep the boat on this
route.
The other passengers who Mr.. Pedro
says were "snubbed" by the men employed
on the ship are respectable citizens of this
island
This is bad news. There should be no dis
elimination In the service on. the ship. The
accommodation should be the same for ell
regardless of color, when they pay the
fee demanded for the service.
The responsible men of the Bull Line
would hover support nor wink at such dis
examination in the treatment of passengers

and now that the qusstion has been brought
to their attention we feel they will pass
on the necessary instruction to the officers
on the Catherine.

Hitler has Europe in a condition of
anxiety. England and France are not in
complete agreement as to methods of pro-
cedure. Germany is claiming that both
sides of the Rhineland be demilitarized.
France says no, that on their side they
have built Notifications which they can
not tear down. Hitler's position is de-
termined one, he says that European ma
lions will not be allowed to deal Germany
the cards they have been dealing her.
Italy continues to remind England and
France that, in view of the sanctions set
up against her she should not be expect
ed to go with them in this quarrel with
Germany.
Halle Selassie, Emperor of Abyssinia is
reported to be leading his army to battle.
Many of the men had fought on the

The Emperor needs the men and has
drafted them back into service.

Since the passing of that portion of

FROM THE EMANCIPATOR
A Petition

- 0&GSAOA1
TO THE COLONIAL COUNCIL
The Honorable,
Dr. V. Christensen,
Chairman of the Colonial Council for
the Municipality of Saint Thomas and
Saint John.
Honorable Sir
Your humble petitioners, the undersigned
residents of the estate known as Hospital
Ground, New Quarter, by right belonging
to the Municipality of St. Thomas and St.
John, part of which recently was ceded
by Resolution of the Colonial Council, over
to the Federal Government, hereby
through you bring this their grievance
before the members of the Colonial Coun-
Gil for the said municipality, praying, that
measures be taken by the said Council that
would prevent the further annoyance of the
long established residents who have through
timely perseverance secured their own
dwellings on the said public property
known as Hospital Ground, New Quarter,
and have constantly been paying the rental
fixed by the municipality on said land
Recently we are being prosecuted by the
Police with threatening notice to leave the
premises. The only reason given is that
the Federal government desires to build
houses on this portion of the land.
Our right according to the Colonial Law
as also the Constitution of the United
States is: Section rs of the Colonial Law,
The right of property it inviolabIe. No
person can be compelled to Oede his proper
ty, except when the public welfare demands
it. This can only be effected according to
Law or an Ordinance, and full compensa
ton must be given"
If therefore the Government finds occa-
sion to demand the ceding of our properties
or the land upon which they stand, we can
go no further than demand just compensa
ton according to law.
Fully conscious that the Colonial Coun
Gil did not anticipate the illegal action now
In process by the administration we hereby
pray that the Colonial Council adjust this
most unfortunate predicament so that we
be prevented mourning the expenses
attached to justice through the Courts.
Most Respectfully,
Your petitioners residents of Hospital
Ground, New Quarter.

agronomist at Montana State college.
When crested wheatgrass Is planted

emerge in the spring before Russian

On nonirrigated land In the plains
section, however, seeding crested wheaE-
grass on summer faIlowed or cultivated
land in the fall introduces certain haz-
