British Pound Listed
Al Far Below 81 Rate
On European Markets

ROME, Jan. 20 (CDM .-European
financial circles are watching with
interest to see whether the British
authorities are actually prepared to
explore the myth of the English
pound sterling.
Many believe scalding down OF
the official exchange rate from the
present unrealistic $403 to the
pound would be an aid to inter-
European trade.
Such a devaluation likewise would
be apt to set off a chain reaction
affecting such sterling areas as
Egypt and Palestine. and might
drag down the higly overvalued
French franc.
Rate Falls Strongly.
For many months the British
pound has not been able to COM
mand its official 81 rate in most
money markets Of Europe. The
best an English pound generally
has been able to do has been about
$3.50.
In Italy, for example, when black
were giving about one
third above the official rate for dol
lars, they were, at times Offering
even less than the offlcial rate for
pounds.
Today one can buy the same num-
Der OF lire with S2.45 as with one
English pound-allegedly worth "a.
Swiss bankers are among the most
realistic and hardheaded business
men in the world. The Bourse at
the banking center OF Zurich is in
ternationally famous as a financial
barometer.
Swiss Pay Only $3.50.
Currently, while the British are
insisting that their pound is worth
$4.03, Swiss bankers say 1t is worth
only $3.50.
The Egyptian pound is in the
same boat. On the Official exchange
it is listed at $4.16. Swiss bankers
peg its actual value at $2.41.
France insists that 100 francs are
worth slightly more than SO cents
and demands that dollars be credit
ed at that rate in paying for French
exports. Swiss banking circles put
the value of 100 francs at only 20
cents.
Since its latest devaluation, Italy
comes as close as any country to
making its official rate equal the
Zurich free-market quotation.
Today 100 lire are worth officially
about II cents and the Swiss Bourse
quotes them at a fraction more than
16a cents. That is even closer than
the well-known Portuguese escudo,
long favorably regarded in Europe
as one of the stablest currencies.
Officially, 100 escudos are worth
about $500, while the Swiss figure
is $685..

PUBLIC HEALH
Helen c. Joseph
Health Educator for the v. /
DEPARTMENT Of HEALTH

In st. Croix and st. Thomas,
there are a number of volun-
tary organization which have
been contacted by the Office
of Health Education with a
view to enlisting their COOP
Grafton in a program of Health
Education.
A few of these organizations
are helping to carry on a con-
tinuous program of informa-
ton and education of the gen
eral public to the end that peo-
pie may learn the essential
facts about health problems;
may become informed of avail
able facilities for diagnosis,
care, and treatment; and may
learn how, and where to make
appropriate use of such faci-
lities.
AS time goes on, we hope
that more organizations will
see the value of assuming
some part of the leadership in
public health education. We
hope, also, that all these or
CARNATIONS, in addition to the
functions mentioned above,
will assume more of those func
tons which have been sugges
ted, after careful considera-
ton, by the Committee in Pro-
fessional Education of the
American Public Health AS
ISOLATION.
This Committee lists as
some of the ways in which a
voluntary organization might
assist in the public health pro-
gram, the following:
, 1948-09-22

|. Help in surveying the
health situation Of a particu-
lar area to determine the gen.
eral public health needs of the
area and to aid the constituted
public health authorities in
dealing with problems requir-
ing constructive action.
2. Help to promote the
enactment of necessary laws
and to oppose the enactment
of harmful legislation,
3. Help to arouse and mobi-
lie public sentiment for the
establishment by government
tai authority of necessary pub
lie agencies and facilities and
to secure the appropriation of
necessary funds for their sup
port and expansion.
4. Undertake for a temper
airy period. one or more of the
newer activities in public
health work until their prac-
ticability and usefulness are
demonstrated and public SEN
timent justifies their assump-
ton by proper public authori-
ties.
5. Help to interpret the
work of the public health au-
thorities to the citizens and
taxpayers, thereby building up
for such authorities increased
public recognition and sup
port.
8. Encourage, stimulate, &
assist the public health auth
critics to improve their stand
ards of operation and set high
er and long range detectives
for their various services and
activities.
Z. Help to create an in
formed public opinion that
, 1948-09-22


will demand and require eff
ficient results from whatever
governmental administration
may occupy the executive pos
ition in the official public
health department and insti-
buttons.
g. Help to rally public opin-
ion to the support Of efficient
public health authorities if
they are unjustly attacked.
, 1948-09-22

If the taxes on goods re-
ceived through the mail were
collected at the post offices,
there would be no delinquency
in the payment, but st. Croix
has three post offices and such
a system would not be econo-
mical. In addition to the two
clerks from the office of the
Tax Assessor who place stick
ers on the packages at the
Christiansted post office and
list those parcels for the re-
cords of this office and the
clerk who does part time
work discharging similar du-
ties in Frederiksted there
would be actual need for adj
ditional clerks to collect the
taxes in the post office Hobbies,
for the delivery of the mails
must not be impeded.
To each parcel is attached
a sticker with instructions
printed in English and Span
ish, concerning the payment
of the tax. Most of the people
appear at this office and make
declarations concerning the
packages they receive. The
task of locating those who
fail to do so is a difficult one.
On a large number of these
packages the taxes collected
range from ! cent to 5 cents.
We could not reduce the cost
of handling by eliminating
such packages, for there must
be a method of determining
what packages, must be elimi-
mated. The result of the elimi-
nation would not be a reduc-
ton in the cost of handling,
but a reduction in the taxes
collected.
It seems reasonable that
since such packages must be
declared and, otherwise pro-
cessed, a minimum tax should
be fixed for all parcels on
which the taxes would fall be-
low 10 cents.
