G Of c Says Liberty
Bell Should be Placed
In Frederiksted

The Executive Committee
of the St. Croix Chamber of
Commerce has gone on record
as favoring the placing of the
replica of the Liberty Bell"
which is to be received in the
Virgin Islands, at Frederiksted
Because of the fact that the
Emancipation Proclamation
was read from that town, it
seems only fitting and proper
that the Liberty Bell, the SYM
Dol of Freedom, should be To-
Gated at this place.
The late Frederick Mac Far
lane observed in one of his adj
dresses here, that the whole
fight for freedom of the Vir-
gin Islands was organized and
carried out in Frederiksted,
st. Croix, and that the Enamel
patton Proclamation was read
from the top of the Frederik-
sted Fort. His Excellency, Gov
ernor de Castro might give
this some thought.
