Editorial
THE LABOR SITUATION

LABOR SITUATION
H PROBLEMS facing local labor are more deeply
rooted than meet the eye. 1t is a situation which must be
faced, and one which requires not only careful study, but
clear understanding and an intelligent approach by both labor
and capital The labor situation did not come down upon Us
overnight It has been growing slowly but steadily for the
last three decades, and any attempt to meet it squarely viii
have to be predicated upon a sound knowledge Of the social
and economic context in which it finds itself laundering.
ST. CROIX, largely agricultural, has produced sugar and
rum for world trade. At the turn Of the century, ST. Grofx
Rum was a worldfamed product, and thousands Of acres
were devoted to the growing of sugar cane. Then came other
areas competing, and surprising arid St. Croix. In the face of
this competition we had to give way, and these thousands Of
acres were turned into pasture. AS this was done, labor found
itself unemployed, and the natural consequence was to move,
by the thousands, to New York and other cities where en-
ployment could be had. In this great exodus, which, by the
way is still on, neighboring islands found a market here for
their fruits and vegetables. Then came the Virgin Islands
Company.
SHORTLY AFTER the founding Of this Company (Now
the Virgin Islands Corporationl thousands Of acres were
again putin cultivation, but this time the tractor took the
PlaceSof yoked oxen, and more modern methods were en-
ployed along all lines. BY this time the young people had
moved away, and over-populated Puerto Rico turned long
ing eyes to an island which was not only ready, but willing
to absorb thousands in the fields and other Jobs. Whether
leaders and others are fully conscious Of it Of not, the fact
was that labor was taking on new aspects, and the newcomer,
already accustomed to ekeing out an existence, was ready &
anxious to make capital Of every inch Of available land, and
dig IN for steady and profitable employment.
H EFFORT made BY the early Pearson administra-
ton to create homesteads was fairly successful, but BY that
time the young, able-bodied native had moved away, and
without these only the older, more rigid farmer remained
and the result IS quite evident today IN the United States
where agricultural economy is carefully planned, schools and

BELGIUM IS
SELLING ARMS
TO RED CHINA

BRUSSELS, Nov. 7 R In a
frontpage article the Brussels pro-
government newspaper La Cite
said today Belgium is selling large
quantities of automatic weapons
and cartridges to Communist China.
The daily said that from the
beginning of 1943 till the end of
September 1850, Belgium had ex-
ported S10936,990 worth of arms
to Mao tse-Tung's China.
.,QfQcial .esmmept was not simmedl
lately available.
The bulletin published no figures
for Chinese arms shipments after
February.
La Cite claimed, however, to
have "incontestable proof" that $4.-
100000 worth Of munitions and wea-
pons had gone to the Chinese main
land from January until September
1850.

cast before in q presidential
election year was 37,304, $50 in 1888.
One state was not voting today in
the Congressional elections. Maine
elected a Republican governor and
three House members in September.
Forecasts Small
In many states. the contests were
apparently so close that the crop
of election forecasts was smaller
than usual though Republicans talk
ed hopefully of capturing both the
House and Senate while the Demo-
Gratis scoffed at that.
Republicans counted on last-hour
voter reaction to the confused Kor-
can war situation to help provide the
impetus for the ballot surge they
seemed to need to gain a net of
seven seats in the Senate and 40
in the House for control of Congress.
One COP Viewpoint
Senator Knowland (R-Calif) has
voiced one COP viewpoint with a
demand on Secretary of State Ache
son yesterday for acceptance of a
Chinese Nationalist offer-made in
July-of $4,000 ground troops to
fight the Communists in Korea.
Asserting that Chinese Commun-
lists had invaded Korea to battle
United Nations forces, Knowland
said there no longer was any rea-
son to bar the Nationalist on the
grounds that their entry into the
war would provoke retaliation by
the Chinese Reds.

The worlds wettest spot is along

There, observes the National Geo.

Together they release a deluging
