AGAIN RUMORS

NNAt' AAo
RUMORS ARE AGAIN beginning to fill the air that
Governor HASTE may be given a position on the mainland
ouch r11n1or is perfectly natural. First, the Governor has been
IN the Islands three full years, and that is about the limited
time tor our chief executives, and if it is not, then this is iust
about the time that we begin to stir uneasiIy, and if no nmb-
mgs can be heard from Observation-Disclosures, then we set about
to create a few. Second, the Governor went all out for Presi-
dent Truman, and at a time when it was considered a lost
cause to even identify ones self with a candidate who could
not possibly win. If rumors continue to come in that direction
then there may be some credit, for where there is smoke. there
is fire, as the saying goes.
NO DOUBT TO many in the Islands a change of posi-
ton tor the Governor will be welcome news. To them it is
ABOUT time. Many matters have not gone as well as expected,
personal and other ambitions might not have bIossomed forth
With exalted success, and above all the chief executive might
not have been as indifferent to certain matters as his prede-
cessorS, and as expected. Then, too, the time might be at hand
when it is popular to differ, such differing being mistaken for
sheer stamina.
AS WE SEE the matter, it is impossible for us to rejoice
at the Governors change. We believe, as it is our democratic
right to do, that he has done a good Job as an executive, and
that given time and the necessary cooperation more might
be accomplished. Then, too, we have observed, as everybody
else has, that change of Governors in no way solves any part
OF our economic, social or political problems. A governor Of
the Virgin Islands, any gopernor, faces a problem such as no
other head of a territory faces. He is, in effect, a representa-
tive of the Department of the Interior, and he must approach
Congress through that Department. Regardless of what he
does, or how well he plays politics, he must face the grave &
very serious economic problem of a group Of islands which
are not sef-Supporting. Congress has not gone along one hum
dred per cent with any of the plans proposed, and there is
where the Governor, any goOernor, will find himself between

the hammer and the nail.

THE pattern which by now
has formed, is but a part of
the overall pattern which sur
rounds every governor, and
that is one of the biggest rea-
sons why THE AVIS has not
launched forth on a program
of heavy opposition. The pro-
blem is still present, and even
when the Governor has long
gone it will still face us.
THE time should come
when we begin to see our gov
errors in their true perspec-
tive and realize that regard
less of what may be expected,
they face certain limitations
over which they have little
control. We are reminded of
the great Harwood celebra-
tons when the ten-million dol
lar grant was announced, only.
to wait years for little results,
and there again, the Virgin
Islands, at least the governor
ship, became a sort Of politi
cal football. And in each Of
the cases, the Governors have.
out only to secure
themselves to their own adj
elsewhere.

FACTS ABOUT the
NACIONALISTA
PARTY

The Nationalist Party was
founded by Sergio Osmena, Man
uel L. Quezon, Rafael Palma, and
others in 1907.
1t has a background of loyal,
assertive, unselfsh and devoted
service to our people.
The Nacionalista Party stands
undaunted, ready and determined
to continue to serve our people in
this most critical period in our
history.
The Nacionalista Party supplied
the architectural genius by which
the Philippines were reared into
a proud and imposing edifice of
constitutional democracy tower
ing outpost of Christian culture and
civilization in the Orient.
1t was the NaciOnalista Party
that gave the Filipinos a country
which could be proud in the glory
of its achievements and its name.
Rare indeed, if at all, is the case
of political party in the history
of mankind that has uninterrupt-
eddy enjoyed the mandate of the
people for almost half a century
and rarer still is the case of a
party which, for such long period,
has doggedly held onto its deter.
mined policy of consecrated service
TO the people.
It was the Nacionalista Party
controlled constitutional conven-
ton that adopted woman suffrage
in principle, Incorporating in the
fundamental law of the land a pro-
viso for the final grant of this right
to the women, who have already
exercised it at least eight times
during the past IL years.

enjoyed the trip.

nations - especially the United
States - liberated the Philippines
from the Japanese. The rehabili-
tation and postwar reconstruction
program of the Philippines was
also the work of the Nacionalista
Party, under President Osmena.
Filipinos in America are for the
Nacionalista Party because:
/. It is the party through whose
social justice program Filipinos in
America were united and were
given recognition and help in their
social and economic needs. Filipino
self supporting students were
given key positions in the govern
ment. Since the Liberal Party
came into power this was discon-
tinued.
2. Social centers were estab-
lished and more were being
planned, but the Liberal Party dis
continued this program.
3. Filipino businessmen are dis
eliminated against in dealings with
the Philippine government and big
deals are given to foreigners and
the favored few behind the iron
curtain" of the Liberals.
4. It is the party which in 1913
fought VIGOROUSLY against the
49,; A1;a,, s,,d .aHty of California
with government funds and gave
some $4,000 Filipinos in California
the right to lease, buy or own land.
5. 1t is the party that succeeded
in 1916 to gain for Filipinos the
right to become American zens,
thereby doing away with discrimi-
nation against them or account Of
