UNITED NATIONS DAY

@ = ~ IA
ON SUNDAY afternoon, we in St. Croix celebrated Uni
ted Nations Day. The proclamation from Acting Governor
Morris F. de Castro, called upon us to observe the day. and
turn our thoughts to the principles of peace, freedom, and
Justice Such a proclamation was most timely, and it would
have been well if one and all needed the call.
EVERY FREE people should support the United Nations
as the last hope for the peaceful and honorable settlement Of
disputes among men. Large and small, powerful and weak
alike have an opportunity to take an active part in this world
government of nations, and to make themselves heard. And
more, a chapter Of the charter provides for membership Of
groups who have not yet attained their full measure of elf
government, which includes the Virgin Islands. 1t is in this
connection that former District Attorney James A. Bough
moved to Lake Success. Our role seems very small, but it is for
US, like all similar groups to stand together close and exert
every ounce of influence we can.
AS H Hon. Joseph Alexander indicated in his speech
on Sunday, there is no single political entity in this world
which lives unto itself Each is related to, is dependent upon,
and influences every other part of the world, and it was upon
such a background that the fathers Of the United Nations
built their structure. Social, economic and political frontiers
had moved from the geographical boundaries Of individual
nations, and all barriers came down accordingly. Today,
therefore, men must speak, think and act in termSsof a com
munity Of nations. And we in the Virgin Islands are a
very definite part Of that community. If we have not realized
it. It's time that we see ourselves in our true perspective, and
act accordingly.
IT WA with this information and consciousness, that we
followed the suggestion made by the Acting Governor and
gave a fitting observation Of United Nations Day, in both
Christansted & Frederiksted. From their respective pulpits

INDIVIDUALLY ana c0lleCIlvely, CQe
travel industry is trying to interpret
two events that occurred last week
Out Of the mulling and the huddles
may come a new and successful move
to cheaper the cost Of pleasure
travel.
Most likely point Of attack Is the
Is per cent Federal transportation
tax. Travel interests have been
fretting about it since the war ended.
All along. it has. been recognized as
a potentially critical point for price
resistance. Bills have been intro
duced to repeal 1t. Somehow, they
have lacked the winning punch.
The events Of last week, involving
special winter cruises, may put the
necessary steam into the drive.
The cruises concerned are those Of
the Holland-America Lines flagship,
the Nieuw Amsterdam, and Cunard
White Stars Mauretania. The
Nieuw Amsterdam sailed Tuesday on
a 13-day voyage to the West Indies
and South America. Not all its
space was filled, but the passenger
list was the largest for any cruise
liner since the war. It carried 802.
Passengers paid from a minimum
Of about $500 to above $1,000. Had
it not been that the itinerary in
cluded South American ports, the
average passenger Figuring $700 as
a mean would have paid more
than 500 in United States transpor-
tation taxes. That extra payment
was not necessary, however. The
tax is not applicable for passage on
ships touching South America, with
some exceptions.
A day or two before the Nieuw
Amsterdam sailed, Cunard White
Star announced a substantial reduc-
ton in fares for its nine Maure-
tania cruises to Nassau and Havana,
starting next month. Transportation
to those points is subject to the tax.
In announcing reductions ranging
from IS to 80 per cent, the line
pointed out that the fare cut will
represent a saving at least equiva-
lent to and in many cases more
than the taxes applicable"
The announcement further says:
Passengers booked for stopovers
at either Nassau or Havana may
also receive o further 10 per cent
reduction in fare by purchasing
round-trip tickets before sailing
from New York"
As q sample Of reductions, the
line quoted the Mauretania's new
minimum rates for the nine cruises
as follows: Full eight-day cruise,
s195 formerly $24O; one way to
Nassau (direct), sos; round trip
between New York and Nassau,
SITS dormerly $3.50; one way to
Havana (via Nassau, sos, and
round trip between New York and
Havana, $195 Cformerly $780,
A# **
The Mauretania reduction may
turn out to be an isolated case
in the cruise field. Anyway. it
Is the latest manifestation that
the transportation industry itself
is busy cutting its own costs to
the traveller. Whether a new and
determined attack on the levy is
to be next in a sequence Of events
remains to be seen.
The most spectacular result of
efforts to attract travellers by
money-saving devices is the hodge
podging of airline fares. Recent
family rates, group travel and
round-trip fare reductions have
deeply nicked a fairly uniform rate
structure. One airline even spear
headed a novel plan of its own
to take the transportation tax off

the dissemination of racial and
religious prejudice"
"The most virulent racial pro-
paganda today comes not from
the rabble-rousers who rant at
meetings but from far more re-
spectacle sources which dissem-
mate subtle and, thus far, more
dangerous racist views through
mass media of communication

JEWISH GOVT TO FOLLOW

Tel Aviv (JPS-Palcor)-Speedy
establishment of a central Jewish
authority to govern Jewish areas
as soon as the Mandate ends May
18th, was urged here last week
by David ben Gurion, Chairman
of the Jewish Agency Executive,
and DR.. Emanuel Neumann, men,
Der of the American Section of
the Executive, in addresses before
a "war session" of the Zionist Ac-
tions Committee.
Ben Gurion declared that the
Jewish State must not and will
not identify itself with any single
power or bloc as opposed to anoth-
er and its orientation will be only
for peace based on the United
Nations.
He outlined a four point pro-
gram: Uncompromising opposition
to trusteeship, whether perman-
ent or temporary; agreement in
principle to a truce but one which
is honest and not a cloak for "sin-
ister designs" continuation of the
struggle for Jewish State until
final victory, and the establish
ment of the Jewish governing
authority.
DR.. Neumann analyzed in de-
tail the sudden American switch
from partition which he attribut-
ed partly to fear that partition
could not be implemented without
an internationl army and partly
to deterioration of relations be-
tween East and West.
