BY THE ACTING GOVERNOR

VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES

DS OF THE UNITED STATES

~ q, ~ I'LL NdllOnS Lay
All through the years the peoples of the world have strug-
gled to guarantee fundamental human rights. They have
struggled to promote social progress and better standards of
life in a larger freedom. They have struggled to outlaw wars
which intermittently have brought untold tragedy to man
kind. In order to help the peoples of the world achieve these
detectives, the United Nations was established on October
"a, 1915.
The people of the Virgin Islands are included in the scope
of the United Nations principally through the Declaration
Regarding None-Sef Governing Territories, contained in
Chapter Al OF the Charter. In this declaration the members
of the United Nations, with responsibilities for the admins
tration of territories whose peoples have not yet ATTAINED
a full measure of self-government, have accepted the sacred
trust Of promoting the political, economic, and social advance
ment OF the peoples of the territories.
The recent brutal Staying of Count Folke Bernadotte
United Nations Mediator in Palestine, emphasizes to peace
responsibility for stamping out national as well as interna-
tional outlaws, and of firm adherence to the principles of
peace, freedom, and justice, for which the United Nations
stands.
In accordance with a resolution of the General Assembly
of the United Nations designating October "a, 1948, as United
Nations Day, the President of the United States of America
has called upon the officers of federal, state, and local gov
-ernments to. observe October "a, 1913, by exercises exempli-
flying our recognition of the achievements of the, United Ma
lions, our support of its aims, and our determination to strive
for the realization of those aims.
WHEREFORE, ], MORRIS F. DE CASTRO, Acting Gov
ernor Of the Virgin Islands Of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and designate Sunday, October "a, 1948, as United
Nations Day in the Virgin Islands, and invite all the people
of the Virgin Islands to join with the United Nations Day
Citizens Committees, already appointed, in observing United
Nations Day in a manner fitting and proper, in order that we
may thus reaffirm our faith in the United Nations as an in
strunent for international peace and progress; and 1 do parti-
cularly call upon all persons and religious organizations to
observe with appropriate prayers, sermons, and religious pro-
grams.
LIDO FURTHER PROCLAIM that the week beginning
October "a. 1913. shall be devoted in the public schools tn ta
dissemination of information on the aims and achievements
of the United Nations through specially prepared programs
and activities
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, / have hereunto set my hand and
caused the Seal of the Government of the Virgin Islands Of
the United States to be affixed at Charlotte Amalie. ST..
