IL operates one schooner. the
Flight. in an inter island freight

Headquarters of the company
are at st. Croix, where it provides
the income Of approximately so
per cent of the employed popula-
ton. In the islands. its activities
give permanent employment TO
about 500 persons. During the
crop season-four or FIVE months
of the year-approximately twice
that number earn their livelihood
from the company's operations.
The firm has less than 80 per-
manent administrative employees.
These include @ president. who is
paid $4,000 a year: a distillery
superintendent at $4,000. and a
general manager for the schooner
at 2.400.
The company was set up to deal
with an economic ruin occasioned
by a hurricane and a drought
which had contributed largely to
the collapse of the privately owned
sugar industry In the islands.
Private capital was not interested

Congress viii be called on soor
TO consider the economic plight
of the Virgin Islands and. In doins
so. to decide whether the Gov
erment shall continue In the rum
business there on q long-range
basis.
On the House calendar Is q
bill which would establish the
Virgin Islands Co. as a permanent
Federal corporation. The Public
Lands Committe has recommended
passage Of the legislation. and the
Rules Committee has cleared il
for floor action.
The existing company, an un-
usual one, lis scheduled to go out
OF existence June 80. It was
created in 1884 by an ordinance
of the Colonial Council Of st
Thomas and st. John. v. !. II
has only three shares Of stock
of $40 par value each. They are
held in trust by the Secretary
of the Interior, the Undersecre-
tary Of the Interior and the Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands.
The Government Corporation
Control Act of 1945 required that
all companies owned wholly by
the Government cease doing busi-
ness by June 80. 194s. unless re-
incorporated by Congress before
that date. The Virgin Islands Co.
is without a Federal charter, but
last Congress extended its life
one year.
Company Loses Money.
The company is a losing propo-
sition. In fact, the Virgin Islands
as a whole constitute white ele-.
phant. The Interior Depart
ment's position is that the one
clear chance to place the islands
on a sound base for development
is to continue and expand the
activities of q Government cor
poration as q stabilizer In the
shaky economy.
Making rum Is q major opera
ton of the company. Rum fan
ciers have varying preferences as
to origin. The Cuban. Puerto
Rican, Jamaican and Virgin
Islands products all have boosters.
The government brand is conceded
generally to be a creditable ex-
ample of Virgin Islands rum.
The present opportunities for
profit in the rum business virtu-
ally are nil, however, and the COM
pany does not look for a change
from the continuing loss position
