his constituents in the islands feel
the same way about it as he does,
he proposes to ignore his kinfolk
on the mainland.
We contend that as long as the
Councilmen from the islands seek
to ALLEVIATE island interests from
mainland kinfolk they are rapid
ly alternating mother form child.
father from son and the time will
come in the not too distant future
when island Councilmen of yester
year and the selfish ones we have
now will drive all natives on the
mainland to a point where apathy
will overtake us and we will for
get our Christian teachings that
I'VE are our brothers keeper"
Totten concludes with this state
ment: Just as it is impossible for
the Councilmen in the islands to
secure remedial legislation
through Congress without seeking
cooperation from their mainland
kinfolk, it is also impossible for
any single unit of Virgin Island
ers here or elsewhere to make any
substantial impression on Con-
gresS for the islands and their
people. Representation by differ
ent units of Virgin Islanders mere
ly adds to the confusion.
Every mushroom movement
that grows up overnight has to
show ability, stability, sincerity
of purpose in its development be-
fore it reaches the listening ear
OF any Senator or Congressman.
The youth movement calculat-
ed to seek leadership merely be-
cause they have supposedly ac-
quired higher learning than the
older natives, must nevertheless
realize that they alone can do
nothing to solve the economic pro
blems of the islands.
That there is a youth movement
is highly commendable but the
movement should in itself be a
part of the one big organization

Statement of Ashley Totten on
Remarks of Hon. Roy Gordon

New York Sept. 26-In his re-
port on the Washington trip
appearing in the West End
News September 18th, the
Honorable Roy Gordon is quo
ted as follows:
Il certainly disagree with
the theory of certain agitators
who live in New York that
they are the only people who
have the ear of the legislative
branch : the Congress of the
United States"
In answer to that statement
Ashley L. Totten, President of
the A.V.I.C.A. states that no
one on the mainland has ever
advanced the ridiculous claim
to be the only people who
have the ear of Congress but
we the certain agitators" do
insist that Congress will never
respect and support island
leadership until they learn to
cooperate fully with their ma
tive kinfolk who reside on the
mainland.
The Honorable Gordon
states that a member of any
committee in Ohio and Ne
braska certainly certainly does
not worry as to how many
votes there happens to be in
New York City"
"Quite true, states Totten,
Where public sentiment has
not been moulded nationally
most Senators and Congress
men do not have to worry"
Millions of dollars are voted
by Congress to be sent to Eu-
rope not because any Senator
or Congressman worries about
votes they cannot get in Eu-
rope but because of national
public sentiment moulded in

everywhere telling continent
tai Americans that we their
own flesh and blood can't do
anything and try to make us
a laughing stock of the Ameri-
can people"
How in Gods name can
any leader from the Virgin
Islands ever hope to succeed
in the interest of the islands
and their people when they
refuse to cooperate but des-
troy the only semblance of po-
litical power they should help
to build and keep strong?
The last statement made by
the Honorable Roy Gordon
should have been left out of
his report. If he thought it he
should not have said it, Tot
ten contends.
"Says the Honorable Cor
don, lit is very unfortunate
that certain people for self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT would prefer
to put obstacles in the way
of a legislative representative
of the people.
That, declares Totten, is per
fectly ridiculous. We the "cer
tain agitatirs who live in New
York" are not self-seekers. I
do not know of any native PEG
pie here who seek to return
to the islands for a job and as
a matter of fact all self-res-
pecting natives on the main
land would prefer returning
to make some contribution to
the islands and not 60 job
hunting from a land of oppor-
tunity to a homeland that has
little or nothing to offer.
1t is a very simple matter
and should certainly not put
on the appearance of political
pickering or rivalry.
We the certain agitators" are
interested in the very same things
that the Honorable Gordon came
here to fight for. He wants a resi-
dent commissioner for the islands
and so do we. He wants the Vir-
gin Islands Company re-chartered
and the manufacture of rum to
and so do we. He wants
numerous remedial measures for
the islands passed by the Congress
and SO do we.

the United States by the Eu-
ropean people who have be-
come citizens and vote here"
Puerto Rico got it's right to
have a resident commissioner
not because any Senator in
Ohio or Nebraska gives a tin
kers damn about Puerto Ri
cans who live in New York
were able to have their cause
felt nationally. Sympathy for
Puerto Rico is on the lips of
every Catholic Priest in the
United States but has anyone
ever heard the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ
IN America endorsing any,
thing for the Virgin islands,.
Il have sat in numerous
meetings for the cause of Puer
to Rico but despite the many
little cliques, few national
characters know about Vir-
gin Islands problems"
No one knows or cares any,
thing whether or not St. Pat
rick killed all the snakes in
Ireland but try and step on the
"corns" of one single Irishman
and it is felt all over the Uni
ted States and through the
halls of Congress"
Puerto Ricans, Hawaiians
and other peoples of Ameri-
can possessions bring their
problems here to their own
native kinfolk. They in turn
enlist the aid of affiliated CT
vic, religious and labor bodies.
Bythis process, public senti-
ment is eventually moulded

The law, the association said,
makes it illegal for anyone to sell,
possess, or ignite fireworks of any
description without first obtaining
a special permit from the. State
Highway Department.
The act defines fireworks as
''firecrackers, rockets, sparklers,
tOrpedoes, roman candles, fire bal
looms" adding that ''it is unlawful
for any persons, associations, or
company to fire or discharge on or
into any street, highway, alley, or
public place a rife, gun, pistol, re-
volver, cane, cannon, or other ap-
ptiance projecting or exploding ex-

The exceptions to this phase OF
the law are police officers, serving

persons using explosives for quar-

at a press conference here this
week.
Royal, back from a 3-week

Germany, had yet decided if the
Koch woman can be retired on
new charges. The sentence re-
ductiOn from life to four years
granted her by army review Of
ficerS means she will be freed
this year. The unusual act has
brought storm of protest to the
army's door.
Royal was then asked Wheth-

unanimously to make these cam
paigns the focal points of mem
bership activity in the coming
months.
Alongside the state campaigns,
emphasis was placed on action
for housing and rent control,
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act
and rebirth of the Wagner Act
without amendments.
Locally, ward and township
groups were advised to concen-
trate on aid to schools, telephone
rates, or similar issues.
The conference, attended by
more than $50 Progressive lead
ers from ward and precinct lev
els as well as trade unions, in
structed wards to take "princi-
pied positions on other issues.
On the key issues, however,
an extensive program was plan
ned to include rallies and petit
ton campaigns in collaboration
with other sympathetic groups.
The conference opened with a
keynote address by Curtis D..
MacDougall, the party's 1948
candidate for US. Senator. The
Northwestern professor declared:

Party to hold Truman and Ste

of us don't know our own ward
problems.
He singled this out as the main
organizational problem for Pro-
gressives.
Victor Ludwig, Fourth Ward
committeeman added to Miller's
view, declaring:
''It is only to the extent that
we give service to our neighbors
on rent and their daily needs
only to that extent will we find
ourselves able to talk with them
on national and world issues"
Fred Ptashne recommended
that each ward set up a nation
alities council for special activ-
ity among national groups for
the legislative program.
Bernard Lucas, international
representative of the CLIO Long
shoreman's Union, declared the
key labor issue in 1949 will be
fourth round wage increases. He
called upon the Progressives to
