Who was the new sweeper
Dept. 2 had last week. 1t was
more of a surprise to the fellow
then to Herm Bick himself, that
is what happens when you are
on the bottom of a foreman's
list.
Their were quite a few fellows
last week in Dept. 2 that just
couldn't find work even in their
own Dept. Is this part of our big
expansion program?
What has the millwright fore
man got that no other foreman
has? He is seen about every day
driving one of the mules. Maybe
he is just going back to his
econd childhood, playing
around with his trucks. Doesn't
the Steward of that Dept. ever
notice him.
What suggestion was made by
the management concerning the
parking lot. Maybe they would
like the union to make improve
ments around the plant instead
of the Co.
1t now seems that the people
of the shop had better get to-
gether on this parking situation.
Something has been done to the
lot to accommodate lot less
cars. We do have a parking COM
mittee, but it desnt seem to
bother. Maybe some of you
people who come to the shop as
early as 900 A. M. don't care
about your fellow workers, be-
cause you get, your extra hour
of sleep at the shop, where it
should be had at home. Any
thing for a laugh at the ones
who can't find parking space.
Think it over.
Maybe now we can get a little
news from Dept. IA which is
still part of our shop.
1t must be lot of fun to run
one of those mules, even a
person from the office was seen
playing around with it.

ERP Nears
It's D-Day

N1I AJ-oy AJ141 1doL JCoA
emergency appropriation for
European aid will have run
out. Senator Arthur Vanden-
burg (R. Mich0 chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com.
mittee has said that the Mar
shall plan will be law by that
date. First real indication that
he may be right came last week
when his committee unanimously
endorsed a $512 billion appro.
priation for the first year of the
recovery program.
The Senate figure is for one
years operation of the Marshall
plan. 1t corresponds with the
Administrators request for $6.8
billion for the first year and a
quarter and is not reduction in
the amount asked for.
But the battle for ERP isn't
won yet. The House Foreign AT
fairs Committee continued to
hear witnesses for and against
the plan all last week. Even
presuming that it accepts the
Senate bill no goods for Europe
will actually be forthcoming un-
til the actual money bills clear
the two appropriations commit
tees.
Authorize RFC Advances
Anticipating trouble, Vanden.
burg's committee incorporated
into the bill authorization for ad.
vances to Europe by the Recon
struction Finance Corporation
pending final action by both
Houses.
The Senate bills preamble
states that 1T is the policy of the
u. S. to encourage economic CO.
operation among the nations of
western Europe. No restrictions
upon the social and economic
policies of participating nations
are included, but they are told
that the U. S. expects them to
strengthen the principles of in
dividual liberty, free institutions
and genuine independence.
Sale of 200 ships, which the
Administration had recommend
ed, but which organized labor
vigorously opposed.
Must Locate Assets
The recipient nations are call
ed upon to locate and control"
assets of their citizens in the
u. S., and the division of the aid
between grants and loans is to
be based upon both ability to
pay and the use to which it Is
put - permanent improvements
for relief.
The Senate Committees ac-
ton came while the Republican
leadership was devising a scheme
to cut taxes in keeping with the
aid-the.rich Knutson bill. Now
the idea is to charge ERP appro-
priations up to this years
budget, rather than next and
thereby make the phoney COP
tax cuts seem possible.
Despite the Juggling of the
COP Senate leadership, the ghost
of the Hoover European-dole.pr
gram is not laid. 1t stalks with
Senator Robert A. Taft, who says
the Vandenburg figure is too
large. About 20 Republican ere
vjsionists," a new word for 'iso-
lationists," agree with him.
But while Taft was urging a
cut in the appropriation, organ
lied labor told the House COM
mittee that the full program
must be enacted.
Both AFL President William
Green and George Baldanzi, eX-
ecutive vice-president of the Tex
tile Workers, who spoke for the
CIO, in support of the Marshall
plan insisted that if American
labor is not given a voice in the
administration of the program

dence of the common people of

Editorial
THE H SIDE OF THE
TOURS TRADE
IN LAST WEEKS Pigs

IN LAST WEEKS Pitts
burgh Courier, Lem Graves,
Jr., one Of the correspondents
in the press corps, which ac-
companied President Truman
on his tour Of the Virgin Is
lands, addressed an open LETT
ter to Governor HASTE. Mr..
Graves was pleased with the
Islands, thought them wonder
ful in many ways, and while
here listened attentively to
the Governors ideas about
the rehabilitation of the Is
lands. After discussing the
with other members of the
press, Mr.. Graves comes up
with two ideas about the de-
elopment of the tourist
trade. In brief, the ideas
Fhich the reporters had were
csc: First, that the tourist
ade, on an extensive scale
would rob the natives Of
"Z.
their dignity, and tend to
make them "subservient to
the dictates Of wealthy vaca-
ton clients, and second, that
the question of race would
enter, and that an effort
would be made ITO establish
a white mans hierarchy of
privilege and caste"
THIS IS NO simple pro-
blem. Thoughtful men in the
Islands have given considera-
ton to the problem, and
though little has been said in
the press and from the plat
, 1948-03-11

az NOA4NA41CGu
that there are very definite
ideas about this question. 1t
is no secret that the Islands
very definitely need a full
program of rehabilitation.
Our principal problem is eco.
nomic, and for years the fed
eral government has poured
much money into the Islands
in the form of various pro-
jects, and to help balance an
even meager budget, especial
~ in ST. Croix. Looking
around for what is best adap-.
ted to the Islands, it is found.
that agriculture and tourism|
for st. Croix, and commerce
and tourism for st. Thomas.
#
seem to be the answer.
IN THINKING of going all
out for the year-round tour
ist trade, it would appear as
if it is the lesser of two evils.
The tourist trade would very
substantially aid the problem
before us, and that, we be-
lieve, should be the primary
consideration, all things TAX
en- into account. 1t should be
remembered, however, that
these Islands, stepped in true
democratic interplay of races
and peoples, have maintained,
through the ages, their digni-
ty and spiritual independence.
Relying, then, upon such a
background, we feel that
these. islands could develop a
tourist trade without losing
their dignity and "quiet indie.
pendence." The Virgin Is
lands have always been a
proving ground for many a
social experiment, and be-
cause of their location, their
cultural background, and that
very independence, have sue,
ceeded in making good. What
seemed impossible elsewhere
is taken for granted in these
Islands. It could be, then,
that we could show the world
the way to conduct a sane,
dignified and profitable tour
list trade without either be-
coming a nation Of servants,
or losing our independence.
That is not impossible.
BUT THERE rs another.
