sibilities will let time and OBJ
portunity slip by.

What definite steps or plans
the administration has in mind.
we do not know, but it is time
that they be revealed, and that
with private initiative a com
bined working force be given
the necessary impetus. The
Butler Miller Report treated
in a general way, it could not
do otherwise, but from such
a report we certainly can get
the key to an overall pro-
gram. It may be that commit
tees and small working groups
should be organized, each to
attack a separate and specific
problem, and determine the
most effective method of pur-
suing a course applicable to
that problem. The administra-
ton, the Chamber of Com
merce, and private citizens
may be combined to get the
of personnel which
would best serve the purpose.
Il may be said that Congress
right now is busy with the
European Recovery Program,
with rising prices and with ci-
vii rights, so that nothing def
mite might be attacked at this
time, yet we could go ahead
with our plans and prepare
lions so that as soon as the OBJ
.ortunity presents itself we
would also be ready. There
are the questions Of small in
dustries, the Government and
the Organic Act, and changes
which would cease to pena-
lie these Islands if products
going from here to the main
land were from foreign coun-
tries, also agriculture, health,
education, and the Virgin Is
lands Company charter. All of
these, believe it or not, require
much time, effort and study.
Il is very well worth harp
ping upon, that the time is
now, and that each and every
one should be ready to pitch
in as called upon. We look for
ward to a very early start on
an overall program for the
economic and social inprov-
ment of these Islands. It is en-

though their impact upon the
community has not yet be-
come substantial. A large tour
ist industry is reasonably as

-pansion and development of

Three very small hotels, two
in st. Croix and one in st.

the municipal government Of
St. Croix had leased Protest
ant Cay, a small island in st.
Croix harbor, and the large
house there located, to a pri-
vate operator who converted
the site into an attractive
small resort hotel. Other pur-
chases Of unimproved sites
point to larger developments
in the near future. Indeed,
there are indications Of new

ket throughout the islands.
