our sincere belief that the re-
commentators contained in
the report, if carried out, will
prove of value both to the Vir-

After giving the general in
formation on the Virgin Is
lands" the report dealt with
Trade and Industry, under
which tourism, small indus
tries, capital, fishing, local pro-
ducts, and labor were dis
IcuSSed.
Among the recommendations
made were that the Virgin Is
lands Company, if re-chartered
should make an investment in
tourist development, that le-
gislation should be offered
which will permit the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
and the Virgin Islands Com
Epany to make full loans. It is
recommended that Virgin Is
handlers of means make small
lloans at reasonable rates for
venture purposes.
Instead of a Resident Com

CHAPMAN. sILvERMANN.

Chapman said that we here
have so many natural things,
noting that the law Of nature
had been kind. The beautiful
spots are simply magnificent
& it should be comparatively
easy for the Chamber Of Com
merce to SELF the island.
He recalled that in 1885 sew
eral officials, including him
self, had spent almost an en-
tire morning with the Labor
Union and other people trying
to decide whether field lobor-
ers should be paid SIS or so
cents per day, and shop hands
60 or S.. When he looks at the
figures today it is very en-
couaging, and felt that they.
did an excellent job.
Attorney Silvermann ex-
pressed the same optimism as
Mr.. Chapman over the future
success Of the Islands.
