SENATE APPROVES DE CASTRO
AND JUSTICE

" LIVf y AffhOVEO LIE GASTRIC
The SENATE unanimously approved the appointment
OF Government Secretary de Castro as Governor Of the VIRGIN
Islands, on March 9th. 1t was no surprise for it had been ex-
pected all along, there being no serious opposition from any
quarter. Governor de Castros name has been associated with
the Government of the Virgin Islands for many, many years,
and many Departments in Washington know Of it. The speedy
approval by the Senate was therefore nothing unusual
NOW THAT The appointment has been approved we
look forward to Inauguration and the celebration and pro-
grams which should come as incidental to it. Nothing should
be left undone to make this celebration one of the biggest and
most far-reaching, What the Virgin Islands now have is a Gov
ernor of their own, a man whose appointment has come as a
recognition of local ability and qualification, and whose ee-
walton is completely divorced from political barter on the
mainland It is indeed a recognition by President Truman and
the U, S. Senate that these Islands have an ever. greater right
to sef-government.
ALREADY H Government has announced the date Of
Governor de Castro Inauguration, which is on Friday, March
Oath and to take place in the Emancipation Garden in Char
lotte Amaie. So far as we know, there will be a parade, adj
dresses, the press will cover the event, and then officials will
set out for St. Croix. where similar celebrations will follow on
Saturday, March 18th.
H DAY OF THE Inauguration will be red letter day
in the history Of these Islands. Who would have thought
twenty years ago that in 1850 the Virgin Islands would have
had a native Governor? And that opens the door to unlmit-
ed opportunity and possibilities, Now; at last, the Virgin Is
lands is q land Of, by and for Virgin Islanders, No longer is it
bound to be a haven where everyone else may come, own,
enjoy and subtlely displace native talent, ability, and oppor-
tunity. The celebration is for much more than a Governor.
It is q celebration Of our. own progress, the opening Of new
viStaS and new horizons.
ALLTHE HEARTIEST congratulations to the new Gov
ernor, and for his success in an administration which holds
much for the Virgin Islands.

BRIDGE WILL
BENEFIT STATE
According to ]. Gordon Smith
Every Section of Della

COMPLETED IN 1851

Operation of the Delaware Riv-
er Memorial Bridge, now in process
of construction, will benefit every
section of Delaware, it was an
nounced by ]. Gordon Smith chair
man of the State Highway Depart
ment.
mot only will this bridge serve
as a gateway for crossing the Del
aware River by traffic between the
north and the south, but it will
serve as a stimulant for CONNER
cial activities" Mr.. Smith pointed
out.
While discussing the progress
made thus far on the construction
of the bridge, and pointing out that
barring some now unforeseen diff
culties the bridge will be completed
as scheduled in 1851, the Highway
Department chairman paid tribute
to all those who aided in making
the bridge possible.
Future years will bear out the
wisdom of those who gave SC much
of their time and energy in over
coming many barriers to have this
crossing of the Delaware River in
the upper part of our state become
a reality Mr.. Smith stated
EVERY branch of our economic
life in Delaware will reap some
benefit from the bridge, Mr.. Smith
said and added, mot only will
there be increased traffic on our
highways bur movement OF crops
to New York and New England
markets will have an easier flow
of operation while at the same
time industry, now located in large
cities, can view new possibilities
for locating in Delaware through
having this means-of quickly trans
porting their raw materials and
finished products to northern cen
ters.
Operation of the new bridge
will place Delaware almost in the
center of highway transportation
along the Atlantic seaboard" Mr..
Smith concluded.

Swiss Agree 10 Increase
In U. 5. Duty on Watches
By the Associated Press

Swiss watches may cost more
If a change in a trade agreement
between the United States and
Switzerland results in higher
American import duty.
American watchmakers have
clamored for a higher tariff
claiming that the present one on
Swiss watches, movements and
parts is too low.
The State Department an
nounced yesterday that Switzer-
land had agreed to an escape
clause" in it's 14-year-old trade
agreement with this country.
Such a clause permits either
party to modify or withdraw any
concession which threatens Sc
rious injury to domestic in
dustry."
The United States had an
nounced August II that it would
terminate the Swiss trade agree
ment in 1851 if the Swiss did not
agree to an escape clause" Such
a clause has been written into all
American trade agreements nego-
tiated with other countries in re-
cent years.
officials said the Swiss agree
ment means the American watch
industry now may file petition
with the Federal Tariff Commis-
sion for relief. If it can show it
has been damaged by tariff cuts
and increases in watch imports, it
can get the tariff rates raised.

by French forces instead of being
provided also to native Wet Nam
troops.
It appears that the State De-
partment, in signing the protocol
with the French for supplying
arms and ammunition to Indo-
China, was careful to provide that
American arms would be used
principally by the native Wet Nam
troops. In order to underscore
this point. the so-called autono-
nous government of Wet Nam.
headed by former Emperor Bao
Dai, was recognized and full
hedged minister sent to Saigon.
The French troops in Indo-
China themselves are using our
war material now. There is JUS
tification for this. The Wet Nam
army exists principally on paper.
It is not combat trained, nor is
it considered reliable for use
against the forces of Ho Chi Mimi.
When the French political men
approached us with the sugges-
ton that we use our influence
with the United Nations to treat
the war in Indo-China in the
same way as the North Korean
aggression, the State Department
reminded them that we were
already off base, since we were
shutting our eyes to the manner
in which our war material was
being used.

The Indian government has
drawn our attention to the fact
that we are supporting French
colonialism in Indo-China. And
it appears that our diplomats are
much impressed with what India's
Prime Minister Nehru says or
thinks.
At the same time, there is no
doubt that if the French are de-
serted, and thus compelled to ac-
cept defeat in Indo-China, the
whole of Southeast Asia would
fall into Moscow's hands in less
than two years.
The strategic implications OF
Moscow's domination over not
only the vast manpower in that
area but also it's vital strategic
materials are not ignored by our
military men, whose fears OF an
eventual all-out Soviet aggression
are increasing now rather than
diminishing.
