expansion, ana we may expect
he returns are sure to come.
THE LAST local election
showed that we are still not at
the stage where we can attack
our problems effectively, but
we are coming along, and the
time should not be distant
when we can truly see the
light, and be led by it. 1t is
clear, too, that sheer abuse is
losing its effect, and the cleo
torate is beginning to demand
much more.
JUST AS history teaches the
past SO as to give lessons for
the future, let us use the past
year to learn much. There is
SO much that we need, which
can come only through concer-
ted effort and cooperation that
it is high time for us to adopt
that method. 1t should by now
be clear that any other pattern
can give only the poorest re-
suits. Our opportunity is here
and now, and it should be the
resolve of everyone, particu-
larly the leaders, to use their
influence to promote good will
and cooperation for the great
est good of all. Let us all bene-
tit from the lessons learned
during the past year.
, 1949-01-03
THE YEAR JUST PASSED

THE YEA JUST PASSED
H YEAR JUST passed has been a significant one. Dur
ing 1913 the world as a whole, and the Virgin Islands went
through many changes, which will have their effect upon the
future. In the world at large we saw the tremendous struggle
between east and west idealogies, and the effort to spread
their powers, resulting in what commentators call the Gold
War" Three years after the end Of World War II, men every
where are still concerned about peace, and the spectre of war
is forever rearing its ugly head. In fact, an actually "hot" war
is being ragged in China & Palestine. And radio reports of the
past few days give accounts of border disputes in Central
American countries.
YET ALL HAS not been hopeless. The United Nations,
ending its session in Paris, is still alive, and will return to New
York to open discussions again in February. Through that
agency the nations of the world find expression for their pro-
blems, and let off much steam which otherwise might be d-
rected into more harmful channels, resulting in actual combat.
That is encouraging for if that body continues to live, there
is hope that men, in time, will see the decided advantage Of
settling their differences over the conference table, instead of
fighting it out. Scientists agree that the next war will mean the
destruction of all civilization.
THE PICTURE AT home has been somewhat different.
