 MT. Truman's biting language on the domestic farm issue contrast ed sharply wit ha solmn assur- ance that this government is doing everything possible to avoid war.
 He told his farm audience he knew that "the war talk which is so prevalent today is causing all of you deep concern"
 Tt is plain enough" he con- tinued gravely, "that we are fac ing a disturbing international sit- uation.
 "I should like every American to realize that this country is making every effort to preserve the peace"
 He said American leaders have "kept our tempers" and stood firm" and that they will continue working for peace with every in Strument at our command" while "buiilding up our strength" This, he said, is being done in the knowledge that world peace and United tSates interests require us to be strong and Vigilant."

 hauling them in, Anderson said.
 He heard their argument among fishermen that American postwar atomic bomb experiments in the Marshall Islands area might have chased the tuna into northern wa ters and also might have contrib uted to the scarcity of Pacific coast salmon and sardines in recent years.
 Guesses that the Japanese cur rent may be shifting northeast ward, closer to the North Ameri- can continent-thus extending the range of warm-water fish also have been hazarded.
 ''The governments central Pa cific fishery research program that is just getting under way should shed some light on our Pacific coast fisheries" said Anderson.
 At present there's no basis for that talk about the atomic bombs or the Japanese current. It's quite possible tuna have been in north ern waters all along, and we sim ply haven't found out about it any earlier. There's been very little re- search to date in that area"
 Tuna were caught commercially off Oregon and Washington for the first time in the early 1930's, An derson said. By 1945 the annual albacore catch of those two states had increased to 18,208,0 ,000 pounds. 1 Within the past three years tuna also have been fished commercial ly off southern British Columbia, the 1947 catch totaling 900,000 pounds. The British Columbia gov- ernment operated three research vessels out of Victoria this year to aid the halibut fleet, idle much of the year, in tuna operations.
 Anderson said the fish and wild life service is watching the Alas kan situation closely. As yet, he said, it is unable to determine def initely whether a permanent tuna fishery for the Territory will be developed.

The following is printed al
the request Of the CO-ORDI-
MATING COMMITTEE Of the
American Virgin Islands Soc
ieties in New York
Recently, the Coordinating
Committee Of the American
Virgin Islands Societies, was
given the opportunity to read
a letter addressed to Honorab-
lie Ludwig E. Harrigan, Chair
man of the Legislative Assem-
bly, Of the Virgin Islands Of
the United States Of America.
The writer of this letter to the
insular legislator was Ashley
l.. Totten, president of the
American Virgin Islands CT
vic Association, Inc.
The letter in substance is a
nuisance of words for which
the demagogue is notorious. It
all amounts to deliberate false
claims about new organiza-
tons initiating the program of
his civic outfit. He speaks
about his labors for the Is
lands without raward. In brief
the text of the letter is the
"cut and dried" Totten line
which Virgin Islanders have
been reading and hearing for
the last two decades or more.
The text Of the smeary copy
will be found on another page
in this issue of The American
Virgin ISLANDER. The portion Of
it to which the Coordinating
Committee takes exceptions is
the paragraph which reads as
follows:
Another bad picture is the
fact that Virgin Islanders on
the mainland remain hopeless

there has entered into the pic
ture about four Or five youths

who have shown an unwilling
ness to cooperate but are in
terested in securing control of
the various Benevolent Asso-
Citations here evidently backed
by the unseen hand Of Com
munists".
Ever since the founding of
the Cordinating Committee
and before its birth, Mr.. Tot
ten has been sniping at the
leadership of the committee
in his AVICA's meetings; in
the Negro Press on the main
land with inaccurate releases;
and in the Islands Press with
abusive articles. From the be-
ginning of his initial attacks
the committee deemed it wise
to ignore the malice & spleen
However, there is a limit to
detructive propaganda and
personal attacks.
First, the committee wishes
to make its position very clear
on the v irgin Islands, the
homeland. Like every people
who are fired with a deep love
for country, the committee is
imbued with such a love, The
men Individually stem from a
people. Their presence
in New York City is due to an
ardent desire for higher edu-
cation and economic better
ment. Lack of opportunity and
steady employment made
them see that it was their duty
even though abroad-to
strive to make the Islands bet
ter than they left them. About
the committee and the organi-
having the backing of
the unseen hand of commun-I
ists''. the answer is the F. B. l.
can check the rumor.
The problem which has long

izations are the foundation up
on which to build for the
future.
The leadership of the COM
mittee proceeded to put theory
into action. It did not bypass
the organizations to set up a
rival; rather an overall com
mittee was submitted to CO.
ordinate in behalf of the home
land.
# dictatorship of the COM
mittee could have managed to
get all the organizations to
merge for the practical results
that would ensue-saving
time and money particularly
the committee would not have
hesitated because, presidents
of the mainland organizations
are officers of the Coordina-
ting Committee.
There cannot be a merger
now for these reasons:
!. The organizations are in
corporated bodies recognized
by the State of New York.
2. They are responsible to
their membership for the
treasures built by them for
benevolent purposes.
8. As a result Of long years
Of organization, active and
senior members personify the
spirit of their organizations
and have become sentimental
~ attached to them. And the
prestige they enjoy from being
a president or a secretary is a
precious prize.
4. A merger which involves
membership, treasures, and
real estate means serious dis
cussions and lawyers for disol-
wing the present setup.
5. The above factors would
make q veteran organizer
think twice if he is very sin
cere about doing the sensible
thing for peace and progress.
On the basis of the argu-
ment given here, it is easy to
see the merger as a goal for
the future. But because that
great desire is premature is
no reason why another app
proach should not be tried.
The leaders Of the committee

ever since they became mem
bers of the American family
in 1917, is getting from Con-
gress their just measure of as
sistance in money particularly
for the upkeep of good govern
ment and satisfying the social
needs of the people. No one
can dispute the generosity of
Congress; but it is safe to say
that Congressional appropria-
tions could have been ample
if the people of the Islands had
an effective organization to
fight for them in the manner
the Puerto Ricans fight for
Puerto Rico, in New York City
and Washington, D. c..
The effective organization
for the Islands can only be
created on the mainland in
New York City, where Virgin
Islanders number several
thousand and enjoy the fran
chise which they use for elect
ing candidates to national,
state, and city offices. The
committee is agreed that any
one who manifests an interest
in the Islands or is ambitious
to lead cannot afford to ignore
the mainland organizations. If
anyone wants to ignore them,
they would have to round up
the Virgin Islanders who do
not join organizations, not
even their own.
Whether their methods have
been up-to-date or archaic, the
mainland organizations have
stood the test of a long life
and humanitarian service.
Next year and the year fol-
lowing, two of the groups will
celebrate their 50th. Anniver-
sary. The first is the Benevo-
lent Society Of American Vir-
gin Islands, Inc. in 1949: and
the American Virgin Islands
Society, Inc. in 1850.
It was a devastating hurri-
cane Of 1899 which brought
natives Of every station to-
gether in Harlem, for the pur-
pose of raising funds to aid
hurrican sufferers. Out of that
noble effort the Danish West
Indian Benevolent Society
was born.
