A SLOW CLIMB

Even if growing countries started now
10 expond their coffee groves, say the
experts, it would be four or five yeors
before this could result in higher produe-
iion. II tokes ihut long for coffee tree
TO grow 10 commercially producing size
One factor which hos kept the rising
U. S. coffee thirst from boosting prices
even higher than they are today is this;
Europe, lacking money 10 buy the bever-
oge beon, hosn't got back 10 IFS pre-wor
poiiern of imports. II took oboui II
million bags yearly before the war.
II now takes less than eight million.
If Europe ogain asserts its full oppe-
lite in the years immediately uhead,
beverage men believe, the worlds kiteh-
ems will be calling for far more coffee
Than will be ovuiluble.

THE BIG DIP

Outside Brozil, other coffee growing
countries are producing. in the aggregate.
only slightly more than they turned out
before the war. So the big dip in Brozi
is reflected in tumble of Just oboui
equal size in elobol production. In the
1898 crop year world output climbed
10 neorly 40 million bogs. In the season
which ended in the middle Of this year,
it wos obout 80 million.
This is not as much coffee as the world
is currently consuming. The globes use is
now estimoied al more than 90 million
bags yearly. The gap between prodUc-
tion and consumption hos been bridged
lately by Brozion stocks corried over
from recent years. But these stocks ore
running low.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-10-27
A SHARP CONTRAST

This provides q sharp contrast with
what's happening in Brozil. Fifteen years
ego the big coffee country had three
billion coffee trees in its high hills. Todoy
i hos only two billion. In the 1887 SO
growing season il prodiduced for export
rs million bags Of the beverage beans.
In the season Just ended its exportoble
crop wos only oboUi IA million boys.

This prospect was UNDERSIGNED this
week when coffee been prices scared 10
the loftiest level on record. They are now
four times as towering os when the first

experts see little likelihood of their
coming down.
It's gloomy outlook for all the
eorih's coffee drinkers. Bot men und

From three different sources this wesk come letters that have their amusing aspects, two of them as might be expected from Outsiders" who are woefully ig- norant about Alaska.
 The first IS from the mother ] of 8 young lady somewhere in New York State, who IS being wooed by a local young man Mother is rather hesitant about letting the girl come to Alaska, and it seems her main worry is this: Will she lose her American citizenship if she goes to Alaska and marries your"
 The second is from a we'll meaning Rotarian somewhere in Missouri, who writes the local Rotary Club that "the members of our Rotary Club have been writing to the clubs of the world since the war and wondering what the conditions are of these countries"
 He continues that " as you know we have gone through two World Wars in the last 30 ears. and after the first war the prices of everything went down to practically nothing Since the last war the prices are very high and everyone IS very prosperous"
 The letter concludes: If you will give this letter to some member 0. your club and they would like more information about the United States. l would be glad to give it to them"
 The letter has been turned over for an answer to the local Rotary's one Missourian, and the only thing he can think of in response so far is that If you think prices are high in the United States, you should see them here"
 The third letter is local one and IS a good example of how to get along with your wife Ole Johnson. who was nominated for the city council, officially with drew this week with a letter to the city clerk and the Progress. i've party chairman, and noted at the bottom was "carbon copy to Mrs. Johnson.". ...

Book Review
Sister St. Hilary

SoSA e~Vs AAAA&SAy
 "The Seven Storey Mountain is an autobiography in which Thomas Merton tells the story of his life from his birth in 1915 to his present existence as 8 Trappist monk.
 Born in France, of an English father and an American Quaker mother, his childhood was divid- ed between America, England, and France. After the death of his mother, he spent his youth in Europe with his artist father, educated partly in France, more in England, although from bis ewn account the efforts of of his teachers were not always successful except in the subjects to which he was inclined Effort to teach him some rudiments of religion were even less successful, leaving him in 8 muddled state of hopeless confusion.
 Orphaned at twenty, he re- turned to America and entered Columbia Here he distinguished himself in literary work, dabbled in philosophy, and finally emerg- ed a Communist until his inn- ate good sense and deeply hid- den spark of faith brought home to him the distinction between the evils which Communism was trying to cure and the complete lnvaidity of its diagnosis and remedy.
 The influence of such writers as Blake, Dome, and later one work of Etienne Gilson, "The Spirit Of Medieval Philosophy" profoundly affected his thinking and no doubt influenced him greatly in the steps he was so soon to take
 Without doubt, this is one of the most unusual of autobio graphies. It has been compared to St. Augustine's "Confessions" with much reason The reader follows step by step the develop ment of the mind, heart, and soul of this young man, who led a full and worldly life, typical of that of most young Americans oi independent means, responsible to no one, yet never quite satis lied and certainly not happy. His early childhood was spent in an atmosphere most antagonistic to the Catholic Church, yet he finds himself at 26, seeking ad mission into the most severe and difficult Order of that Church, the CIstercians of the Strict Ob. servance, or as they are better

gislation, st. Croix has moved slowly,
I believe too slowly. We should have
a Public Utilities Commission author
lied to exercise reasonable regulation
over a variety Of public services. In
most communities bus and taxicab
service and rates, such matters as
h~ghterage and landing charges, cleo
trio rates, all are subject to fair gov
eminent regulation in the public in
terest. This should be true in
st. Croix.
There has been much debate from
time to time about rent control, about
minimum wages and maximum hours
and other familiar and important re-
gulatory matters of public. concern.
/ hope the Council will seriously and
carefully consider these fields. l
should state that in most of them the
Municipality of st. Thomas and st.
John has had regulatory laws for sew
eral years.
! wish to add a word concerning le-
gislative procedure. Formerly the
Governor or the Administrator or
both attended all sessions Of the NUM-
cipal Council. / have always opposed
that old plan Of a representative of
the Executive branch attending all
sessions of the Legislature. That sys-
tenn at times tended toward one
branch of government dominating the
other. However, at the other extreme,
it is equally undesirable for the Legis-
lature to act without seeking.or CON
sidering the views of the Executive
on matters requiring Executive APP
proval.
One additional observation, and /
shall have finished. In every commun-
ity there is a certain amount of irres-
ponsible criticism. There will in all
probability always be people who
make wild and irresponsible, state
ments without knowing or very much
caring what the facts are, so long as
they can say something exciting or
sensational to an audience. | hope and
ask that, as the operation Of
our Municipal government, this Coun-
Gil will help me to make such wild
and irresponsible talk unpopular in

1st Member for Christiansted Town
Jacobs): MI. Chairman. We have
heard the Governors worthy message
to Council and / want to say that this
is the threshold of a new Council. I
was sent here by the people and / am
going to do my utmost to carry out
their wish. We as a Council can get
along with constructive criticism by
the Government and I hope we will
have as much respect from them as
we give them. We are young in this
business and will try to work togeth-
er with the Administration and we
hope they will cooperate with US and
give us the respect that is due to us.

try District (Wulff): MI. Chairman.
AS a new member of this Council I
highly appreciate the privilege given
me to sit here and listen to the Gov
ernor's message; and ! pledge myself
to cooperate with the Executive pro-
vided we are accorded the same pri-
vilege.
End Member for Frederiksted Town

glad to hear the Governors very
inspiring and optimistic speech; and
! want to state that this Council has
a good deal ahead of it and we are
fortunate to have such a good Cover
nor as we now have and with a de-
mocratic President I feel that much
will be done for us. The Governor in
the our of his remark made refer
ence to the tax. exemption bill and
said the same exemptions should be
granted in both municipalities. The
only fault ] find with that is it is a
little too late. I hope that this matter
will soon be taken up so that we can
have new business come into this Is
land. MI. Chairman, there will be dis
agreement but / hope that in disagree
ing we a find a common ground
whereby all ill-feelings can be elimi-

that the Administration can count on
my support.
