good friend the gentleman of
Nebraska (Miller) defeats It'll
self. This 100000 for the
Virgin Islands is largely to put
the people in industry and
largely to start a public works
program which is sadly need
ed. If there are any on relief
that will take them off relief.
Il understand also that for the
Epast several years there has
not been any hospitals built
nor any roads and conditions
/ down there are deplorable in
every respect
Congressman Crawford said
I feel that the responsibility
of the Virgin Islands is upon
! the leadership of these two
bodies (meaning Congress) and
that we have not treated those
people fairly. 1t is time for us
! to give them some answer to
their social and economic con-
dition while we are doing all
these things for people scatter
ed all over the world.
Congressman Adam Powell
of Harlem, New York said: /
am quite familiar with this
situation. There are only
about $4,000 Virgin islanders
in America and 5000 of them
live in my district. Our Friend
from Nebraska said some
things that are true but they
do not happen to be related.
Granted that $1O,OOO,O 900 was
! appropriated before for relief
and was not used, this is still
not a relief bill.
Miller swung back with
this company has been en-l
gagged in that business. They
were chartered for it but they
have not accomplished a single
thing. To which Powell rel
piled, that this Company has
accomplished everything. If it
were not for this Company
we would still have to send
money down there to feed the
people. This is their livlihood.
Miller countered with "theI
Danes had the islands over TOOL
years and they had no troubleE
They were quite self-support-
ing. Powell replied: Yes, that
may be true but if we could
