BIG BUSINESS SEES ST. CROIX

BIG BUSINESS SEES ST. CROIX
WHEN WARD M. ANADA received his guests at
Alexander Hamilton Field on Sunday, April "a, st. Croix, or
the Virgin Islands, for that matter, saw perhaps the greatest
concentration of wellknown and istinguishedleaders in in
duStry, real estate, finance, food and farming ever to assem-
bic on these shores. We have already said a word of welcome,
but because of the unusual makeup of the group, its size, and
its place in American and world industry, it seems almost
necessary to remind our readers of these facts and the signi-.
ficance which they carry for US here,
PREVIOUS issue is a listing Of these business lead
es, and SO it is not necessary to recount it here, but only to
point out that practically every industry is here represented
Any name, picked at random from the list, represents the
height of the industry with which it is aSSociated-C. NJ. Gle,
vice president of the Gulf Oil Corporation of Pittsbugh;
Jocob A. Disston, Jr, president, Henry Dsston-& Sons OF. Ia
cony, Pa; A. King Nc Cord, vice president, The Oliver Corp,
Chicago; Elliot Nc Alister, vice president, The Bank Of Cali
fornia; Frank Taylor, Feature Writer, Saturday Evening
Post and Readers Digest; George Wagner, a Partner Of Ar
thur Anderson & Company of N. Y, Public Accountants And
SO the list goes on and on. Every product manufactured is be-
ing used here. in St. Croix, and it brings things closer to home
when one sees or comes in contact with the men responsible
for the efficient management of these industries:
THERE is NO doubt that in their tours over the Island
they saw through keen eyes, the possibilities for development
Of much that goes to waste here, principal of which may be
skilled labor which moves off to the mainlandbecause Of lack
Of opportunity Seeing, they say, is believing, and these in
dustriaists and leaders will now know that right under the
American flag is a haven of rest and relaxation, comparable
to the best in the world.
H THERE is the further satisfaction of knowing
that these leaders were in the hands of a ZEAL FRIEND
of the Islands. He has not gioen lip service, but has taken
steps and performed tangible deeds to shotO his faith in ST.

Croi1 and its potentiahties.
Ward NJ. Canaday believes
that we have a chance, and it
is safe to assume that he is
making the best use of the
time and opportunity. In fact,
as these men came here upon
his invitation, which in itself
is a good deed for this place.
Who knows that having seen
this Island and the others,
these leaders who left these
parts yesterday will not be
anxious to return some day, *
to help make use Of what we
have to offer. We might as
well be frank and face the 81
tuation. Much of what the flu
ture holds is in private hands.
As private industry develops
more and more there will be
the opportunity to wrest our
selves from the economic
chaos in which we find our
selves. But more, as these men,
in their wide contacts meet po-
litical leaders on the mainland,
they will be able to speak from
first-hand knowledge of our
needs and what ought to be
done for us.
When the Council passed a
Resolution expressing appreci-
alton to Ward M. Canaday, on
behalf Of the peoples of this IS
land for what he had done, it
was on safe ground, and as
time passes even greater proof
is being had that that Council
was right.

STALIN KNEW THE RISK

Evidently Marshal Staln had some idea as to how far he could go in bossing Marshal Tito around long before the break came between the two Communist leaders, but the Soviet dictator still couldn't hold back
 In Edward R. Stettinius neWly-publShed book on Roosevelt, the Russian and the Yalta conference the late American Secretary of State tells of some delicate questions that at Yalta to Yugoslava Then he quotes Winston Churchill remarking that eff Mar shal StaIn said two words to Marshal Tto the matter would be settled"
 And then this from Stettnus book which shows that at the time of the Yata conference, Stalin knew his Tito
 Stalin replied that Tito proud man. and that now that he was popular head of regime he might sent advice. The Prime Minister (Churchl) answered that he felt Marshal Staln could risk this Stalin replied that he was not afraid to advise Tito"
 But now he know what happened when dictator undertook to tell another where to head in.

Fairbanks Wants More ElbOwrOOm

FAIRBANKS, [P) - A district court hearing has been scheduled for Jan. l8 on a move to bring 36O acres of land south and west of Fairbanks within the city's boun- diaries.
 The date was set by the court late last week after annexation proceedings were filed by the city council. The tract is in tn city owned portions of the Richert and Day homesteads, and includes the Weeks Field subdivision where multiple housing projects are planned. The council said the land no longer is needed for the Weeks Field municipal airport and should be made available for homes, busi- nesses, schools and playgorunds.
 The Fairbanks planning com mission recently established po- tential boundaries in the Weeks subdivision for 256 multiple hous- ing units scheduled to be built by the Bayview Development corpo- ration.

Hungarians Arrest U. $. Relief Worker

VIENNA, (P)-Israel Jacobson, director of the American Joint Distribution committee in Hun gary, has been arrested by Hun garian police, it was learned here Saturday.
 Hungarian officials confirmed his arrest, but refused to specify the charges against him.
 Harold Trobe, Vienna director of the American Joint Distribu- ton committee, a Jewish relief agency, said Jacobson was ar rested Thursday when he return ed to Budapest after a six-week leave in the United States.
 Trobe said he knew of no possi- ble reason for Jacobson's arrest.
 Jacobson's home was formerly Rochester, N. Y, but a few weeks ago his family moved to Chicago. His wife, Florence, worked in the Chicago office of the "Federation

Communication
December 18th

DCCl EuIlOl
 I want everybody in Nome to read this letter so I am writing to the Nugget. I remember the paper since I was eight years old when I had a news paper route.
 I have gone to school in the States and have played basketball for the school and was lucky enough to play on winning teams in the States. Wherever we play ed, our team always had a good following, that is the school and the town gave us l00% backing.
 I am writing this letter because I have seen three High School games and the boys have won ev- cry game and won with ease be- cause of fine team work, not be- cause of having two or three sharpshooters on the team.
 There is one boy on the team however that could make a col lege team without half trying should he go on to school. He does not play as a star now however, but as a team man.
 This town has been looking for outside publicity. What better ad- vertisement can you get than winning basketball team to repre- sent Nome in the all high school meet at Anchorage.
 Nome High played league game with the Nome Beveraqe last Thursday and although the score was 52-28 the boys had to work to win.
 Now this is the rub-there were only about 40 paid admissions and how are we going to send a team to Anchorage when nobody is in terested enough to watch the games at home. A good team in EAiAO.IOI age, WlltJilCI IL WlllS UT llOI is as good as any Chamber Of Commerce paid advertisement.
 The boys have tied with the fire department of the Base for first place with 5 wins and no losses against their score of 5 wins and no losses.
 So I am asking every citizen in Nome, the next time the boys play go out and root for them and show them that you are interested and want them to compete in Anchor age by your admission fee.
 I have never met MT. Urich but l want to thank him through your paper as he is really the man who made the team and like I said ear Her in the letter you can't win un- less you have teamwork and the boys sure have it.
 Sincerely,
 SAM MOGG.

LITTLE SENSE IN THE CENSUS

LITTLE SENSE IN THE CENSUS
 Anchorage Daily Times)
 The area supervisor for the United States census is quoted in Seattle newspaper asserting that interior valleys of Alaska will be impossible in April and for that season the count will be made February l.
 The gentleman in charge of the count for Washing ton, Oregon IdahO Montana and Alaska lie IS impress ed with the problem of taking the census in Alaska.
 'The vast area of the Territory makes door-o-door enumeration at much name impractical eve II the enumerators could with the Indians and ESkl- mos So Gene H. Harris is depending mainly upon the teachers and of the Alaska Native Service for the count in the northand the newspaper said.
 The Fish and WildIfe Service and other federal agen ces will fill in at some spots not covered by the Native SefVice personnel Staff enumeratOrS of the Census Bureau will operate only in areas which these SerVceS well acquainted with the Territory. are not able to cover
 Several problems are presented in taking the Alaska census Harris says. One is the migratory nature ot much of the population. Fishermen and cannery work who go to Alaska just for the summer won't be cred tied to Alaska according to the area census chief.
 But if bona fide resident of Alaska is counted in the Territorial census in February and to Seattle during March, he won't be counted again in his new residence when the Seattle census is taken during April"
 The interview displays a rather surprising lack of knowledge of Alaska.
 The original premise-the interior valleys will be i'm passable in Apr-s subject to challenge What interior valleys will be impossible in April? Name one. If there should be one, what bearing would it have the talk ing of the census? If valley is impossible the natives not in it.
 The supervisors assertion that door-to-door enumer ation is impractical to discredit his project How can census be conducted other than by personal interview? It done in previous census years and can be done again
 The supervisor seems to be worried about Alaskans who counted in the Territory in February and then move to Seattle in April He has his worry in Hundreds of Alaskans will be in the States in Febru ary. They will be home in the Territory by April It looks though they won't be counted in either place.
 All the information released the 1850 pre- sent dismal picture far Alaska is concerned It indicates sp-shod and half-hearted attempt will be made to compile sort of figure, with accuracy of secondary importance.
 Preparations for the show that federal officials following the usual custom of discriminating against Alaska is favor of the States
 The Bureau of the Census has certin amount of money spend The money has been apportoned to the various regions of the nation. Alaska being part of region consisting of four states and the Territory is going to get ony few crumbs of financial support for its census.
 Most of the areas funds will go into the four States represented by eight Senators and 18 members of the These arc hv than
