Government Subsidy Suggested Danger!
DISCUSSING the seriousness Of health conditions in
Puerot Rico and the Virgin Islands and the widespread NAL
nutrition, the report submitted to Secretary Of the Interior
Krug said,s-itis difficult to see how they the Vngi nIsands)
can be taken care of otherwise than by government subsidy.
These are grave words. Subsidy in this sense, where a large
part of the population is involved, brings to mind the type Of
condition which would go with a large, overall poor farm,
such as the one. at Kings Hill. And this is no startling state
ment made just to attract attention. It is one thing not to be,
able to balance a budget, and where some appropriation mayl
be necessary to balance it, but it is something else altogether
to subsidize an entire population because a large part Of that
population is undernourShed.
IT must be remembered that the report stated that the
middle and low-income groups are undernourshed. ToI
accomplish the feat of bringing the diet up to what is neces-i
saEyy fer normal health it may be necessary to change the er-i
tire salary scale Of the two groups in question, thus increasingl
their buying power. And this is quite true. In the budget wei
see many jobs paying salaries of $500 a year, and many, many
many others just a little above. In order for these Municipal
and other employees to live they must spend a large part of
their income for food, and the little left for rent, clothing and
other necessaries. T~ruthfully the entire salary is not enough
for food And this gives an example of what we mean whenI
we say that to subsidize would indeed be serious, for the en-aI
tire economy of the islands would have to be revohutionized
AS it is we find it difficult to get appropriations to bal
ance q brnget based on salaries such as the ones mentioned
Then, how is it going to be possible to get the funds for a bud
get three or four times the size Of the present one? That is
the problem. But more. If the time should ever come when
such a subsidy as the one suggested in the report is brought
about, then we may look for less of independence such as we
know it and the next step would be that an entire political
entity would find itself on the pure basis Of wards.
IT may be that these various reports coming from differ

you still have time to get in un-

next washday, you may be sport
ing a new washer and be the envy
of your neighbors. Now if the
N. O. Maytag would dream up
contest with a gold plated wash
board for a prize, we'd try our
luck, but this department doesn't
uphold to those fancy gadgets
what run by electricity. We're
just plain old fashioned, we like
