KEEP Woo A REHABILITATION PROJECT

KEEP woo A REHABILITATION PROJECT
ONE OF H ways in which the Virgin Islands. and
particularly St. Croix, have been victimized is in the doing
out OF high-priced, juicy jobs to continentals, who make a hoi-
day of their stay here. This has gone on for a long, long time.
SO that the great bulk of Federal appropriations has gone right
back into the pockets Of the American taxpayer, though few
politicians and others have agreed. While this might have been
all right and bHnked at in certain projects, yet there are certain
programs which fail dsmally unless a different attitude is fol-
lowed, and one OF these is the Virgin Islands CORPORATION.
AS 1T WILL BE remembered, the Virgin Islands Cor
Poration came into being as a rehabilitation project. Through
this dream come true our people were to be given the oppor-
tmity to help themselves. Small growers would have a place
to which they could take their cane crops, workers would
have an opportunity to work, and clerical and managerial per-
sonnet a chance to make a normal living on the American stan
dard. Much care has to be taken that the Virgin Islands Cor
poration does not fall by the wayside and become lust one
more colonial agency providing holiday employment to con-
tinentals whose interest is far, far away from these shores.
And what is most pathetic about situation such as this is that
the highest salaries and privileges are extended to these in
term officials. Cars are put at their disposal, fine homes are
rented tar below normal, and in general everything else goes
their way. And when the time is up, free passage back to the
mainland, to say nothing of vacations with pay, and transpor-
tation both ways.
II WOULD BE a tragic commentary on American colo
NAL policy if it fell into the groove where projects and pro-
grams designed to aid these islands ended up as golden op-
portuniites for continentalS to kill two birds with one stone
take a holiday and thcken their bank accounts. Now, it must
be understood that there is no objection to distribution of jobs
among capable and worthy people, but when this is done at
the expense of the local worker, skilled or unsklled, then
it is time to cry aloud. The native is here to stay, and here
is where he will make his contributions, spend his wages or
salaries, and pay his taxes. The Virgin Islands Coronation
is the last hope for a project which even carries the semblance
of rehabilitation. Let it not be such on paper only.
