because, in a public address
on the mainland, he said that
kindly, old Quaker Governor
Paul Pearson had done much
for the underdog. What was
most heartening was hat the
very men who Wilfully and de-
liberately misrepresented
what the leader had said were
the men who gave the least
thought to the masses, but at
the moment were playing for|
political power and favor. 1t
is therefore more fitting and
proper that the Union should
be the one group to work to-

NOR can any move to hon

What Has Happened To That Memorial?

What Has Happened To That Memorial? |
THE NEWS that a tomb has been constructed over the|
grave of the late D. Hamilton Jackson by the St. Croix Labor
Union, brings to mind the plan to erect a suitable memorial
to him which was announced on November /, 1917, at the an
nual Labor Day celebration. Shortly thereafter, several of the
very poor gave their contribution. To date it totals the stu
pendous sum of $500.
THERE should be nothing but high praise for the
Unions efforts and plans to erect a memorial to the late David
Hamilton Jackson. The Union is his creation, and through hell
and high water he fought. to put it on its feet and keep it'll
going. 1t is undoubtedly the one effort for which he will long
est be remembered, and the one which showed clearly that
closest to his heart was the welfare of the people who were
without proper representation.
DAVID Hamilton Jackson was perhaps the most out
standing figure that will come out of these islands. Caught,
with the spirit of service he pioneered in many fields, and
championed the rights and welfare Of the underdog. Yes, the
underdog. There are times when our people, constantly ex-'
plotted and fooled with high sounding phrases and empty
propositions, are wilfully and deliberately kept from moving
forward by shrewd politicians, experts in local psychologist
who know how to get the results which they want most. For
years our people have been taught to Shudder at the veryI
sound Of the word @~underdogn, but there is no one under thel
American flag who does not fully understand what it really
means. 1t is one of the words which has crept into our com
mon usage, and which carrys a very kindly and understand
ing meaning with reference to that large, and overwhelming
majority of people everywhere who are not possessed of wealth
and therefore able to buy their way through life, and who
must work honestly for whatever they get from day to day
There are other words such as big fish" big dogs, yet these
are never misrepresented to the mass of the people as being
anything but Complementary. 1t seems significant at this

Recommended Organization

While this study and report
are concerned primarily with
the affairs of the Municipal
ity of St. Croix, it is imprac-
tical to isolate completely
these affairs from those Of
the rest of the Virgin Islands.
While some improvement
could be realized by revising
the internal organization struc
ture of the st. Croix govern
ment, maximum benefits can
be obtained only by integra-
ton with the central govern
ment.
In view of the above consi-
derations and others discuss
ed in this report, the follow
ing recommendations are of
fered relative to organization
structure:
/. There should be a single
government of the Virgin Is
lands to take over all of the
functions Of the three present
units of government.

ber elections was not waged along
usual lines of domestic and local
politics, with a light sprinkling OF
international affairs.
The main issue was Palestine
and the keynote of the camaign
speeches and pamphlets was Amer
lean oil versus Jewish blood. The
results of the campaign exceeded
all expectations in Mr.. Wallace's
camp. The regular Democratic
candidate was thoroughly trounced.

President Truman Is said to have
received warnings from some OF
his political advisers not to ignore
this storm signal, which grew out OF
what the Zionists regard as a luke
warm policy toward immediate solu-
ton of the Palestine problem.
The new Army chief OF staff, Gen.
Omar Bradley, and some of his top
military advisers were summoned
to the White House today to brief

WAilS4A PdoSCNs
I came back with II hoecakes
covered with notes (not to mention
a limp from which 7 may never re-
cover, and the Democratic national
leaders are welcome to my findings
also to my limp.
In one of the first towns visited
I learned that new course OF study
had been added for fourth, fifth
and sixth grade students. Just after
geography class the children, for Is
minutes, took q lesson in how to
speak like q Republican, or
Yankee, the two being synonymous
down here.
Told to Stop Drawing.
I listened In for minute.

"you stop slurring your Rs and quit
drawing or I'm going to have to
spank you. And Mary Ann, don't
let me hear that kissing sound
when you say Sherman, else you'll
have to stand in the corner. Now.
children, as a final exercise, let us
all say darrrling, not dollin'."
I was even more amazed when the
children came out for recess. There
were five or six Northern children
there, sons Of tourists, and the
Southern boys were playing games
with them, not fighting them. A
sure sign that the South Is chang
ing, because when I was a young
ster we tore into all Northern boys
on general principles, and did our
best to bloody their noses in revenge
for Gettysburg.
Speaking Of Gettysburg, I discov-
cred that In this school they were
teaching that the South lost at
Gettysburg. Not SO in my time. !
didn't find that out until I went
to New York to get newspaper job.
No Hot Biscuits.
In another town a friendly citizen
asked me in for dinner, meaning
the evening meal. Until lately, or
until the revolt started, the gentle
man would have asked me in for
supper. Several Of the dishes we
had for supper-dinner, I mean
offered even surer proof that the
elephant is casting a long shadow
over the South. We had French
style green beans cooked with no
side meat or ham hook whatsoever,
store-bought bread instead Of hot
biscuits, and roast beef that was all
pink in the middle.
Ugh!
The conversation over the dinner
table was strange, too. My host
talked, and openly too, without
pulling down the blinds or locking
the doors, about the shabby treat
ment that the South had always
gotten from the Democratic Party.
He allowed as how something should
be done about it, and that this
might be the time to do it, painful
as the thought of it was.
Another neighbor, who was shar-
ing the strange" food with us, had
something to say, also.
"I am glad that they have those
voting machines screened in," he
said, because I don't want any
ancestors of mine peering over my
shoulder In case I happen to yank
that other handle"

it will be worthwhile for the Presi-
dent to talk more boldly before
he produces some concrete results
of his leadership so far.
On the face of it Mr.. Truman
and his party went into the Bronx
on the liberal side of every issue,
well prepared on the verbal irons
for Mr.. Wallace. Nor did Bronx
Boss Ed Flynn's once impregnable
machine fall down for lack OF trying
to put their story over. 1t threw
in manpower, Mayor ODwyer and
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt but it simply
could not move its voters to the
polls.
This was In a by-election, the
kind of isolated contest that Is ordl-
narily a milk run for a decent
organization. Politicians boast that
with $4,000 and a machine, any
body can win by-election.
Democratic alibis that the vot-
ing was unusually light do not stand
up in a comparative examination
of the IL congressional by-elections
this session. Tuesdays Bronx vote
actually was normal for that pat
tern of local contest not held In
connection with a general election
It would appear that the old
style, regulation Flynn jalopy could
not cope with the slick, streamlined
wallace leftists. Democrats knew
their city machines had broken
down; they had thought Flynn's
was still good for another go.
What they were all working on
was a big-city district heavy with
Jews. Negroes and Puerto Ricans.
It had been expected by Democrats
that the Presidents backing OF
Palestine partition and his civil
rights message would hold such
groups in line, especially with Mrs.
Roosevelt on hand to remind them
of it.
But the Wallace people said;
(which do you prefer? Truman's
words or Wallace's record?"
Republicans, who are gloating
over what they regard as a Ger
tainty that they can carry New
York, saw their own vote in that
district almost disappear. Bronx
Republicans were always weak sis

ters, usually under fire for making
deals with Mr.. Flynn. Democrat:
mutter they must have made dea
with Wallace this time, but It's i'm
probable.
Some thoughtful politicians see 8
question OF leadership in the Flynn
fade-out, the Republican weakness
and the upturn in. the Wallace
(American Labor Party fortunes
which came about despite the de-
lection of important unions. They
suggest that worried and confused
America is welcoming the kind OF
hopeful, aggressive campaigning Mr.
Wallace Is doing.
A new order Is here, it was sug-
gested, and nobody is ready for il
except the voters.
Certainly Mr.. Wallace Is not-he
can campaign effectively in enough
places to ruin the Democrats, but
not enough to win himself. But it Is
still true that he is the only Ameri.
can political leader with q genuine
popular following of the kind that
kept Mr.. Roosevelt In office.
To confuse the Democrats further
they also got two reports on James
A. Farley, who springs back into the
national political limelight at
tonight's dinner here. One was
that he would take over as New
York leader now that Flynn is down;
the other that he had publicly at
tackled the Roosevelt third and
fourth terms as sources of much o1
the worlds Ills. They hardly think
he can get away with both.

This Changing World
Wallace Mans Election Seen Forcing
Truman to Get Off Fence on Palestine

President Truman and Secretary
Of State Marshall were suspected
by the militant Zionists of not being
sufficiently energetic in helping to
create the new Jewish state. Hither-
to they have been undecided on how
to lift the arms embargo, which
makes 1t difficult for the Zionists
to purchase arms for their Palestine
forces. The zionists claim that
since the Arabs are aggressors they
must not be permitted to have the
same advantages as the Jews.
The Department Of Defense Is
not willing to support the sending
of troops to enforce partition. This
unwillingness is prompted by
strategic and tactical considera-
tions, involving the inadequate
number of trained American troops
and the Importance of controlling
the Middle-Eastern oil resources
for American national defense.
Arabia May Cut on Oil.
King Ibn Saud of Arabia is known
to have informed the American
Government that as soon as we
translate our sympathy for the
partition of Palestine into military
action, he will be compelled to
cancel our oil concessions.
Thus the White House was sub
jected to two pressures: One from
the zionists tor drastic action
and their importance at the polls
can by no means be overlooked
and the other from those who are
in charge of our national defense
planning. The latter consider mill
tary intervention in Palestine det-
rimental to our major national
interests.
President Truman is said to have
been willing - until yesterday - to
continue a wait-and-see policy. The
election In the Bronx Is said to
have been a shock and to have
shown him that he cannot continue
to sit on the fence.
The Presidents summons to Gen.
Bradley to brief him on the coun-
try's military potentials, in the
event that he has, to :, take some
action under INSTRUCTIONS from the
U. NJ, is hailed in Zionist quarters
as mhjor victory. The shot fired
across Mr.. Truman's bow Tuesday
in New York has yielded results.

thing may be. They would be CRATE
full for miracle.
Unable to arrange for a miracle
the full-time officials at Democratic
national headquarters are suggest.
ing hard work as a substitute. They
say the local and State organiza-
tions failed to put the amount Of
elbow grease into the effort neces-
sary to win that New York dis
trict. Where, they demand, was Ed
Flynn, boss of The Bronx, when
the disaster was occurring? And
they answer: Out on his farm
Where was State Chairman Fitz-
patrick? Down in Miami Beach
And they conclude with a sBronS
cheer for the two top leaders.
Communists Worked Hard.
On the other hand what were
the Commies-which Is what they
call Tuesdays winners doing?
Working "a hours a day., right up
to the hour the polls closed. One
national. headquarters official said
he happened. purely by chance, to
be in The Bronx on Sunday night.
Passing the Isacson. headquarters,
he found it ablaze with lights and
humming with activity. Passing the
Democratic candidates headquar.
ters, he found it dark and deserted.
Apparently he didn't pass the hope
less headquarters of the Republican
candidate.
True, the Democratic organiza-
tion had brought certain persuasive
voices into the district during the
campaign, notably Mrs. Roosevelt's
and Mayor O'Dwyer's, but they
couldn't Offset the crusading Com
mics, scurrying all over the place,
in and out of doors, up and down
stairs, day and night. That is the
story as told at national headquart-
ers. And, having convinced them
selves Of it, they add that maybe
the licking the party got will have
an excellent effect. "You know
providential discipline" in the Ian
guage of one official. .
AS for the issues that may have
had some bearing on the result, it
is conceded that the administra-
tion's hesitant behavior in the mat
ter of Palestine worked against
the party's candidate. The district
has a large Jewish population and
whether or not anybody else is con-
cerned about the situation in Pales-
tine, those voters are.
Hope to Keep Negro Vote.
Another large segment of the
district population is Negro. The
Democrats here take q little salts
faction from the fact that this vote
did not go to the Republican candi-
date, even if Wallace's man did
wean it or much of it away from the
Democratic candidate. This causes
them to hope they can continue to
hold the Negro vote in the North
wherever there is no Wallace
candidate to divide it.
So the Democratic organization
is seeking to get all the good it can
out of the disaster. 1t hopes that
its friends in the various labor
organizations that have announced
themselves for Truman will learn
the same lessons. The principal
lesson, as they see 1t, is that the rank
and file of the labor organizations
will have to work as hard every
where as the "Commies" worked In
the Bronx.
When the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union withdrew from the
American Labor party in New York,
that was expected to put fatal
crinp in the Wallace campaign.
But the vote Tuesday seems to in
dicate that the union failed to take
a good many Of the workers along
when it withdrew.
