The Corporations predecessor,
The Virgin Islands Company, had
been established as a medium for
rehabilitating the economy Of the
islands, which was at a distress
ingly low level IN 1884. The sugar
industry had collapsed, largely as
a consequence of hurricanes and
drought. When efforts to interest
private capital in reviving the in
dustry failed, sugar lands and a
distillery were purchased with.
Federal relief funds, and were
turned over to The Virgin Islands
Company for operation after a de-
termination that the revival Of
sugar and rum industries could
best stimulate the economy and
would provide the greatest.
amount Of employment. During its
lifetime, the Company gave per-
manent employment to 500 per-
sons each year, and to twice that
number during the sugar season
of As months. Working capital
came from relief funds in the
early depression years and no di-
rect appropriations as such were
ever made to the Company. Dis
solution Of the Company became
imperative not because It had fail

Reckless Gun Play

No after-the-event excuses can disguise the
element of shocking responsibility in the killing
of 15-yearold boy by detail of Prince Georges
and Anne Arundel County police officers
The victim, George William Mooney, had
escaped two months ago from the Industrial
Home School. He was not dangerous character
and the police knew it. Nevertheless the police
started shooting when, in an attempt to get
away after being spotted in a Maryland tavern,
the boy swan across the Patuxent River.
The police say they were not trying to hit
the boy; that they were shooting in the hope of
soaring him and making him turn back. That
probably is true, for it is hard to believe that any
police officer, under the circumstances, would
shoot to kill. But the boy is dead, shot through
the side. If the police had been shooting in the
air, as they claim, it is hardly possible that the
boy would have been hit.
It should not be difficult to find out whose
gun fired the shot and whether, as one officer
has suggested, the bullet struck after ricochet-
ing from a rock or tree. If this was not what
happened, and it is not plausible explanation,
the bullet must have been fired in the boys
direction and the officer who fired the shot
should be brought to account. At the very least,
he has no business in a job in which he is
permitted to carry gun.
