Mr.. HODGE: Some sugar cane

SENATOR GORDON: You

place?
Mr.. HODGE: Yes, sir. How
ever, | have had a pretty hard
time starting sir, on account of
the fact that veterans are not
granted loans in the Virgin Is

Mr.. HODGE: Our people are
ambitious there, sir, but it is a
question of opportunities.
SENATOR GORDON: Some
body has to teach them how to do
it, / understand that. You have
been around, you have learned.
Mr.. HODGE: Yes, sir.
SENATOR GoRDoN: How
many individual farmers are
there on st. Croix?
Mr.. HODGES think about n

Why could not they occasionally
break loose and strike out for
themselves and do something on
their own account?
Mr.. HODGE: The native peo-
pie, sir2
! SENATOR GORDON: Yes.
Mr.. HODGE,: Several native
people have tried to, sir, but it is
a question of lack of credit facil-
tiles and banking opportunities.
SENATOR GORDON Folks
came out into my country many
years ago and did not know what
a bank. was and were able to do
it and also down in Oklahoma.
Mr.. HODGE: That may be
true. There is another point there
I think we miss, and that is that
with the coming of the American
Government, our standard of liv-
ing had to be raised and capital
that your native people might
have had could not meet up with
the demands of the American
Government.
SENATOR GORDON: In other
words, we bankrupted you by try
ing to give you a chance?
Mr.. HODGE,: Yes.
SENATOR r D That is
true, sir. There are a lot of things
that go with Americanism that
the people of the Virgin Islands
appreciate. We are not included in
the draft Member Downing will
cover that--but we asked to give
our services to the country to
which we belonged and of which
we were citizens, and we believe
that if it is the feeling of THE Con
gress that we should be given a
fair opportunity to make good
there, that we are going to make
good.
I know the people are intelli-
gent, they are willing to do the
best they can for themselves. They
are an ambitious people, and I be-
.heve that this bill that is now be-
fore the Congress of the United
States to set up a special bank
ing and loaning agency in this in
corporation bill is the first at
tempt that has been made by the
United States Government in line
with what was done by the Dam
ish Government.
/ know it is the feeling of the

States Government would not dc

cathedrals were all part and
parcel of her education. When
she found it necessary to earn
her living here in the United
States, She turned, without spe-
cific training to ceramic be-
cause her mind was so filled
with these nostalgia pictures Of
ladies in colts and cowIs, sur
rounded by gar1ands of roses
and gilded frames, knights on
chargers and little peasant fig
ures. All Of. these things have
been worked out by Alice Fis-
cher in her charming ceramics,
but no description can evoke the
"olden-times nostalgia" one feels
in looking at these bits of gaily
painted clay.
The shapes for the various
pieces are worked out in mold
and this clay or bisque is baked
in a little electric kiln right in
Miss Fischers apartment. A help
er usually turns out the molds.
After baking the artist paints
her fair ladies, garlands of roses,
knights in armor, peasants, fish,
birds or what have you-and
they are baked again. Then
comes glazing and another bak-
ing. then gliding and the final
baking. A helper does the finish
ing Of these pieces by neatly
gluing the pin and earring at.
tachments all of which are most
elegantly hidden and covered
with matching suede.
Before she goes back to her
house in Woodstock, New York
for the Summer, Miss Fischer
hopes to find someone here in
Key West with a kiln so that she
may have her shapes nodded and
baked here and then sent on to
her for painting. She is planning
to spend six months of the year
here in Florida from now on.

Eskimo Veterans Show Progress In Mexican Crafts

According to word received by the Alaska Sunday Press from William Spratling, the four young Eskimo veterans now in TaxcO, Mexico, studying with Mexican craftsmen are not only showing remarkable progress but also lead. ing most interesting lives in an entirely new environment.
 Marley Lincoln and Joseph Jes- sup from Kotzebue, Frank Okpe- aluk from Little Diomede, and Francis Eben from Unalakleet have become ambassadors of good will from Alaska to Mexico. Al. ready they have won the sympa- thies of all the Mexican silver goldsmiths from whom they are learning casting, forging, making solder and soldering and the mak~ ing of beads and chains and boxes of silver.
 The young Eskimos lead busy Mexican days. Their morning be ging with a pot of te-limon Ca brew made of the leaves from lemon trees and drunk as tea is in the U. s. At seven thirty they are at work. From eight thirty to nine thirty they breakfast with eight Mexican craftsmen and eat papa. yas, oranges, steWed fruit, cesina, "a species of jerky, often of ven. ison) eggs and Mexican fried beans with pepper sauce, and cof- fee.
 They work from nine 10 twelve, then shoot iguana'S or swim in the river. At one thirty they have din- ner and from two to four thirty are back at work. By four thirty they are weary enough 10 take a siesta in their little house or go { for walk. At seven thirty they have dinner with MT. Spratling and discuss the days work. Then they write letters and their daily progress reports. By ten they are in bed. Twice, MT. Spratling re- ports, they have gone to movie in TaXco
 Spratling, noted craftsman of Mexican silver, was engaged by the Alaska Native Service to teach the craft to Alaskan natives. He spent several weeks in the Territory last summer.
