Recommendation Made By Carib
Commission Members to President

The United States Commits
sioners in the Caribbean Com
mission Ward M. Canaday, DR..
Rafael Pico, Governor William
H. HASTE, and Jesus T. Pinero-
conducted from May 4 to 6 a
three day series of conferences
with officers Of the United
States Government interested
in Caribbean affairs. They met
with the President, the Secre-
tary of State, the Secretary of
Defense, the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Secretary
of the Interior, as well as with
other officials, to discuss some
of the more urgent economic
and social problems which are
being handled by the Carib-
bean Commission.
Among the more important
matters which the United
States Commissioners discuss
ed during this three-day con-
ference were the following:
/. Provision Of Small Ships
for Inter Island Trade:
The United States Commits
sioners proposed that a num-
Der of small ships now lying.
idle in American ports be
transferred to the Govern
ment of Puerto Rico for use in
inter-island trade in the Car
ibbean. They expressed the
view that nothing could do
more to promote the economic
and social life of the peoples
of the Caribbean territories
than the improvement of ship
ping facilities in that area.
z. Removal of the IS per
cent Excise Tax on Transpor-
, 1949-05-25

So44S&4o
The United States Commits
sisioners pointed out that tour
ist trade to the Caribbean is
seriously hampered by the15
per cent Federal excise tax
imposed on air and sea trans
portation. They strongly urged
that this excise tax be elimi-
mated as it has been in the
case Of other areas outside the
United States.
8. Implementation of the
Presidents Program for Tech
meal Assistance:
In several of the conversa-
tons, the United States Com
m%issioners pointed out that
the Presidents program of
technical assistance to under
developed areas, as outlined
in the Fourth Point of his In
augural Address, could be of
Unreasonable benefit to the
territories of the Caribbean.
They urged that every consi-
Iteration be given to the pro-
vision of technical assistance
in the economic development
of the Island territories. They
pointed out that the Caribbean
Commission, because of its
long experience in the area
and because of the many re-
search studies which it has al
ready undertaken, would be a
most efficient organization for
implementing the technical as
sistance program.
The United States Commits
sioners, during their confer
ence, also considered a num-
Der of other matters of inter
