PAY HIM WHAT HE'S WORTH

We agree neither with Lewis Brown of Johns-Manvlle that
the key jobs of the European recovery program administration
should be filled with $1a-year men, nor with that section OF
the proposed legislation that stpulates a $4,000 salary for the
chief administrator Both proposals would drastlcany limit the
field from which to chose the men who are going to bear a large
share of the responsibility for the nations welfare during the
next four years. For no one who is not independently wealthy
can work for 81 a year, and few men who are earning S5O,OOO
a year can afford to exchange that salary for $4,000 a year.
If the Marshall plan merits the expenditure of S17,OOO,OOO,-
900 or more, it merits the leadership of the most competent
man that can be found, wherever he can be found. The chances
of attracting him are much greater at a salary of $4,000 than
at $4,000. If the presence of the best man, as compared with
the second or %thirdbest, improved by 1 per cent the chances
of the programs success, the investment of an extra $4,000
of the pubic's money during the four year span would be amply
;ustified.-San Francisco Chronicle.

lett estimates that in fiscal
year 1916 the total income of
the Islands was $6,152,O 900 of
which $3,813,OOO correspondent
to St. Thomas and st. John &
$2,339,0 900 to St. Croix.
On the basis of the population
estimates used in the calcula-
ton, the average annual fam
lily income for st. Thomas and

Bartlett are believed to be
high, the average family in-

problems of the two commun-

to Rico, however, the Virgin
Islands have no deposits of
