SERIOUS ECONOMIC PROBLEMS

OEhIOU0 CONOMIC PROBLEMS 3
FEW PEOPLE PERHAPS realize that the Government
of the Virgin Islands is forever faced with deficit: that almost
each year and every year the officials must return to Washing
ton for deficiency appropriations, and that each year presents
added difficulties and problems. 1t is the one dark cloud
which hangs over the entire group, and which, perhaps more
than anything else, has been responsible for giving Governors
and officials the black eye.
ONE OF H FIRST official acts of the new Governor
is to announce a cut in expenditures, including salaries, and
an increase in taxes. OF course, these moves are extremely I'm
popular. They tend to cause %grumbing and dissatisfaction on
all levels and within all groups, for such is the move that
touches almost everyone, and hits the breadbasket. The result
Of such an official move is the tightening of the belts, and a
tender spot No one who has given any time to even a casual
observation of local affairs can escape the fact that the Gov
ernor has no other choice, and that in order to meet the pro-
blem, these extreme measures have to be taken.
PERHAPS TIME HAS come when everyone
must realize the seriousness Of the situation, and the need for
concerted action in order to relieve the situation. With the
high cost of living, no one can escape the effect of the cut.
Then to add to the already serious effect of the cut is an in
crease in taxes, which also touches everyone.
Calling attention to this move made by the Governor at
this time is for the sole purpose Of pointing up a situation
which can become serious, and which calls for action not only
by the legislatures of both Islands, but of the entire popula-
ton as well Some pessimists might ask, What can be donePs
First, there must be a sympathetic understanding Of the situa-
ton. Wild, aimless criticism can avail nothing. It should be
taken for granted that no political leader would deliberately
and thoughtessy initiate a cut in salaries, or an increase in
taxes, or both. These are delicate points, and the. ones which
are bound to bring dSfavor in the eyes Of the populace.
Second, citizens can assist by giving their fullest support to
their Legislatures, in addition to offering valuable suggestions
for a solution to the grave economic problems. Third, pri.
yate citizens can respond comparatively to petitions for added
deficiency appropriations and a return Of the Internal Reve-

both, who had the responsibility
for directing the nations mill
tary policy-did not have strong
forces ready to go into prompt
action at a place, like Korea,
where the danger Of war WAS
known to exist and where, more
over, the United States had
made a definite commitment to
help defend a government that
it had helped to set up. In view
Of this commitment, and in view
of the possibility of war that
was recognized by the whole
world and was the subject of
discussion everywhere, it is
fair to say that the job of hav-
ing our military forces prepared
for war in Korea was badly
bungled by the responsible per-
sons in Washington. Ny guess
lis that the man most deserving
of blame for the unpreparedness
is Secretary of Defense Louis
johnson. That is, directly de-
serving. The person responsible
for Johnson's having been where
he is, to make the wrong deci-
sions, is President Truman. who
appointed him to Office 1t would
be interesting to know, and it
may come out later, to what ex-
tent johnson followed, or disre-
garded, the advice Of military
experts in failing to give orders
which would, have resulted in
our having strong forces ready
for action in Korea and which
would have kept Marine units
and other units from falling to
low strength. SThere have been
some assertions that economy
is the explanation Of the armed
forces poor state Of prepared
ness, and that this was the fault
of Congress, but what has been
published thus far leads many
thoughtful citizens to believe
that the Department Of Defense,
with the funds at its disposal,
could have made much better
preparation for the trouble in
Korea than it did make.

Various Passages

New York Times: June 27,
the day President Truman or
dered American forces to South
Korea, his estimate of the job
was: North Korea has 6 to 9 divi-
sions, probably $4,000 men, 70
to 100 tanks. Morale probably
low. u. S. sea and air forces prob
ably sufficient. Nineteen days
later, July 16, this was the esti-
mate: North Korea has 10 to Is
divisions, $50, 900 to 250,000 men,
220 tanks, almost unlimited sup
plies behind lines in Siberia and
Manchuria. Morale and leader
ship excellent. Needed by y. s., 8
full divisions, perhaps 250,000
men. U. S. manpower, tanks,
heavy artillery, planes in Pacific,
woefully inadequate. Vast sup
plies needed from home bases

James E. Warner, Washing
ton correspondent of n. Y. Her
aid Tribune: THE Communist
attack in Korea was a miniature
Pearl Harbor, in catching an al
most totally unprepared U. S. by
complete surprise. A quiet check
|of informed officials in Wash
ington reveals some of the shock
ing details but still leaves unan-
|swered many questions which
can be summed up in one word,
Why? Among the questions:
Why wasn't U. s. Intelligence
able to predict the break? Why
weren't the South Koreans given
proper training and weapons to
Withstand the first onslaught? i?
Why didn't General Macarthur
have enough men and proper
equipment to back them up
promptly? Why, when it became
apparent that the Korean fight
ing was going to be bitter and
prolonged, was there such a
long delay in ordering a draft,
in calling for reserves, in get
ting ships out of mothballs ?
The best overall answer to all
these questions is that there
was-and apparently still is in
some quarters-a lack of intelli-
gence or lack of awareness
about the seriousness of the
world situation, as well as that
in Korea That charge can be
laid against both military and
civilian leaders in the executive
branch; certainly it can be
brought against many members
of the legislative branch"
Joseph and Stewart Alsop, in
their syndicated column: There
has been a good deal of glib talk
about sending sig divisions to
Korea as if six divisions were
equipped, trained and ready to
go. In fact, although ostensibly
the United States disposes of
nine and a half Army divisions
and two Marine divisions, this
/ is paper strength. Not more then
three divisions (outside of Ger
many) are in a condition of par
tial readiness. The first Marine
division, for example, now on its
way to Korea, is for reasons Of
economy at less than half war
strength, and most other avail
able divisions are less prepared
TO fight. Fighting divisions are
not created overnight. Nor are
tactical air groups, or carriers,
or Navy task forces, or the other
elements of conventional mill
tary power, which have been
slashed to the bone, and which
are needed to fight the Korean
war.
THE plain fact is that, bar
ring a miracle, the United States
is going to have to send to Korea
just about every combat unit
that exists, other than long
range bomber groups and the
forces in Germany. Nor is this
all. This country's two most inn
portant allies, Great Britain and
France, are already deeply COM
mitted in the Far East-in Ma
laya, Hong Kong, and Indo-
China. Britain and France, with
the Red Army in Germany, cam

A Just Cause for Complaint

The United States has got to
depend on itself for most Of the
forces to be thrown into the
fight against the North Korean
Communists-and against other
Communists If the war spreads.
II cannot expect any great help
from other nations. The word
help, as used here, does not mean
encouragement, or moral sup
port it means the actual physi-
cal help that is most needed in
the present situation: men,
arms, tanks, ships, airplanes.
In view of the tremendous
losses inflicted upon other ma
tions in the recent World War, q
war out of which the United
States came relatively unscathed,
and richer and more powerful
than ever, nobody should ever
have supposed that, if there
came a war between the West
and Soviet Russia, the allies of
the United States would con-
tribute forces equal to more than
a small fraction of those con-
tributed by itself.
In the war against the North
Koreans Great Britain is giving
some help with its Navy, and
dispatches from London say
that it is planning to send a
contingent of ground troops, but
in its bankrupt condition it cam
not do very much. 1t is already
stretched pretty nearly to its
limit by the demands upon it at
Hong Kong and other places.
France, like Great Britain, is in
bad financial straits. Anyway,
the instability of its government
makes it undependable as an
ally, and this instability is due
in large part to the fact that a
formidable proportion of the
country's population is Com
munistic. Moreover, even though
France were disposed to send
troops to fight under the United
Nations banner, it could not send
enough to count because it al
ready has on it's hands in Indo-
China a fight that does not leave
it able to enter fight anywhere
else. AS for Italy-welI, of
course nobody expects any help
to come from there. The smaller
members of the UN-Sweden,
Norway, Holland, Belgium, the
Latin-American countries-they
are not expected to chip in mill
tary forces of any considerable
value. India can be depended
upon to do nothing in the way
of help; if it does nothing in the
way Of hindrance, that will be
lucky for the UN and the u. S.
There are two countries that ]
expect will be exceptions to the
general UN aloofness from par
ticipation in the shooting war:
Canada and Australia.
The fact that the United
States will have to bear the
giants share Of the burden IL q
war against the Communists is
no just cause for complaint by
y. S. citizens. 1t is, and should
be accepted as, an inevitable
consequence Of the situation in
the world-of the size and
wealth and power Of the United
States and Of the relative pow
erty and weakness of other
Western nations.
