AVICAB Bears Proof of Its
Value to Island 6 Their People

New York Sept. 19-::That the
real purpose of the American
Virgin Islands Civic Associa-
ton is to make its contribution
by rendering service to the is
lands and their people is
shown by the following cor
respondence which it makes
public.
Names are avoided in order
not to cause embarrassment
but publication is necessary as
proof that the enimies of pro-
gress do not know the harm
they are trying to do.
Several weeks ago, a letter
was received by Ashley L. Tot
ten, President Of the AVICA
from "a woman at St. Croix
which described in no uncer-
tain terms her predicament. A
demand had been made that
she refund the United States
Navy the sum of Seven Hun
-dred and Fourteen Dollars
overdrawn by her in allot-
ments under the Servicemen'S
Dependent Allowance Act of
1912.
The American Virgin Is
lands Civic Association realiz
ed the seriousness Of the case,
got busy Immediately and has
today received a reply from
the U. S. Navy which proves
conclusively the value of the
Association to the islands and
their people.

letters which for obvious rea-
sons must be published with

ISOLATION, who got sore with
the leader of the association
be cause he would not stick
his neck out to seek removal
of an administrator so that
this particular native might
get the post, and how after a
former ex-government official
had been re-appointed he
wrote a member of the Board
that it was ridiculous to be-
lieve that any Virgin Island
er was responsible for his as
cendancy to that position.
Totten further states that
the American Virgin Islands
Civic Association had hoped
to serve the islands and their
people and not to be used as
a good thing" for certain en-
vious, graft seeking, gouging
hypocritical, mercenary and
undermining leaders whose
only contribution to society is
to bleed the taxpayers with
with an ever increasing de-
mand wor money with which
to benefit themselves.
1t is vitality important, said
he, that the people do not al
low their minds to be befud-
died by those leaders who
down" the work of the
association because it is far
better to have the friendship
their mainland kinfolk and
not need it than to need it and
not have it.

wise we could not know Him.
Our minds, unless blinded by
sin, ale inuGed able to recog-
Mise His existence and ever
lasting power through contem
plating the realm Of nature.
But we could not know Him
personally unless He has first
revealed Himself. God has
spoken supremacy by His Liv-
ing Word, our Lord Jesus.
With Him stands in closest con
nection the Written Word, the
Bible, the reliable record of
how God has revealed Him
self, "the heaven-drawn pic
ture Of Christ the Living
Word": authentic, authorata-
tive, accurate. Though often
sublime or deep, it is written
in simple language. We are
safe in taking it as meaning
what it evidently says. Yet
many have testified that per-
fectly plain statements were
at first dark to them. This is
because we need not only to
use our common sense, but to
seek the light of the Holy Spi-
rit the real Author of the Scrip
lures. That light is promised to
those who determine to do the
will of God. We must not twist
the Scriptures to suit our own
ideas, but let God speak. The
Bible should be read much in
our church services; and even
more at home. Let every one
who can read own a Bible, and
read it every day with prayer,
seeking to know the Saviour.

If you send money abroad to
buy travel tickets for use in the
United States you must pay the
IS per cent tax on passenger
transportation. If you go in per-
son to buy the tickets you may
skip the tax.
That's the effect of an Internal
Revenue Bureau ruling yesterday.
Commissioner George j. Schoene-
man said the move was made in
an effort to stop what has been
described as growing practice
of evading the transportation tax.
Revenue officials admitted en-
forcement of the ruling would be
difficult, but said they hoped it
would discourage rail, plane and

outside the United States from

Allied Chiefs Approve
Law 10 Bar Nazi-Type
Press in West Reich
By the Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept
3.-The United States. British and
French high commissioners ap-
proved in principle yesterday a
law aimed at preventing the re-
birth of Nazi-type press in West
ern Germany.
The law, still in the drafting
stage, is expected to be made pub
lie soon after the new West Ger
man Parliament meets Septem-
ber II.
The step follows an outcry both
in Germany and the Western
World against reports that Nazi
publishers are planning to set up
business again. The law was ap-
proved at the first real meeting of
the high commissioners here since
the change of occupation admins
tration in Germany from purely
military government.
To Implement Statute.
Western Allied authorities said
the law is designed to implement
the occupation statute, the interim
peace treaty the Germans will get
when they form their own gov
ernment.
The occupation statute frees the
German press of licensing restric-
tions. But it gives the high COM
missioners the right to take any
steps they want to preserve dem
ocratic government" and protect
the prestige of the Allied forces.
In announcing approval of the
draft law the high commissioners
said in communique:
1T is in the first instance the
duty of the German federal and
land (state) authorities. in ac-
cordance with their own laws and
constitutions, to insure that devel-
opment of democratic life and
democratic press in Germany is
not disturbed by any anti-demo-
cratic influences.
Discuss Old Laws.
"If these authorities failed to
insure this, the high commission
ers would not fail to take appro-
pirate measures within their pow
ers under the terms of the occupa-
ton statute"
An allied spokesman added that
the law will make. it clear to the
Germans that they the commits
sioners) reserve the right to clamp
down on any newspaper that
shows signs of NaZiism."
The commissioners discussed
also lists of old military govern
ment laws that are going to be re-
pealed or retained. Many such
laws and DEGREES will be outdated
when the occupation statute goes
into effect. Under the statute the
commissioners will retain direct
control only over such affairs as
disarmament, the Ruhr controls,
foreign affairs and trade, and dis
placed persons.

Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. the Pres

military air transport to Europe
for perfume dealers.
But Secretary Johnson was firm,
writing Senator Thomas:
For economy reasons, both In
aircraft and in dollars, so far
this year I have refused to agree
to the assignment of special mis-
sion aircraft to accompany con-
gressional parties on trips around
the world"
Senator Thomas had informed
the Defense Secretary that a
number of the 17-member Appro-
priations Subcommittee, which
handles the armed services multi
billion dollar money bills, wanted
a large military airplane to make
the inspection trips Of six weeks
to two months.
They planned to take boat to
Europe September 81. then tour
Europe by military plane, with
some of, the Senators continuing
the inspection tour by air to the
Middle and Far East, and then
fly home.
But Mr.. johnson replied:
II have felt that the services dc
not have aircraft to spare fol
trips of this sort. and, also, have
felt that I could not justify plac-
ing the armed services in compe-
tition with commercial carriers
who are engaged in carrying pas
sengers over these same routes

usually like to travel in the large
four-engined military planes. Sec
retary johnson commented:
"The Air Force estimates that
1t costs $3.50 an hour to keep a
ur-engined aircraft aloft, and
that, on a trip of six or seven
weeks duration the cost to the
Government for such special
flight easily can exceed $25 900.
