GOVERNORS REPORT OF 1859

10FEHtNOhO nEFOh1 Or lS46-4S
H ANNUAL EPo of the Governor of the Virgin
Islands, the last report prepared by former Governor HASTE,
should be widely distributed, read and digested BY the largest
possible number of citizens, to say nothing of legislators and
officials of the government. The Report is not only factual. but
offers a number of very valuable pointers which should act as
%guideposts for the future. Now that Governor HASTE has
moved up to the Circuit Court, and the political fog has lifted
it is safe to repeat without causing a mild storm that his adj
miniStration was one of the most successful ever seen in these
Island. It would be well, therefore, if the attitude to good
government be continued, and there is every reason to believe
that there wilbe no departure from the pattern SO well set,
ONE OF H facts which point to the expanding pro-
greSs of St. Croix, for example, is a comparison of the rev.
enues of 1889 and 1949. In 1889 the total revenues were $l56,
88l.53, while in l949 we collected a total Of 1928 rs. What
clearer indication could there be that we are growing steadily,
and that we must be careful to see that all phases of our local
life keep up with revenues?
AMONG THE valuable facts pointed to in this Report
is the work of the Experiment Station, the fact that the
jojoba plant seed will terminate very well in plant sheds,
which is a great first step. With the carrying out of field ex-
periments, the results may be startling, and open the way for
new revenues, and the employment of hundreds. The oil from
this plant is used in the making of paint in the United States,
and if we can grow the plant successfully, then there is no
telling how far we can 60, It is an experiment very well worth
the trying, and every effort should be made to cover all phases
of its development.
AS TO THIS one phase of government actfvty-Agri
cuture-the Report makes known that further efforts were
made to have the local Station transferred to the Department
Of Agriculture. While many local leaders might disagree, and
point to certain minor points, yet there can be no question
but that the Experiment Station belongs under the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
FORMER GOVERNOR Hasties Report will be studied
further, and its high points passed on to the public through
this paper. It deserves such study, and the public is entitled
to be acquainted with its salient points.

Commerce Department. Mr.. Saw
yer pointed out, have resulted in
a decline in total exports to China
from $273 million in 1948 to
$82.6 million in 1949 and to $33
million through August of this
year.
Imports Hold Steady.
During the same period, Mr..
Sawyer pointed out, imports of
valuable materials have held
steady and exceeded exports in
1949 and 1850. Imports of tung-
stem used in the steel industry,
for example. the Secretary said,
were 3.923,000 pounds in 1913;
1884, 900 in 1949 and 6,668, 900
from January to July in 1850.
Mr.. Sawyer emphasized that
shipments of raw cotton made up
almost IS per cent of this coun-
try's exports to China this year.
Such cotton, he explained, has
little strategic significance and
was in relatively free supply until
recently.
With particular reference to
criticism about shipments of scrap
rubber. mineral oil. petroleum
jelly and certain steel products,
Mr.. Sawyer said they had no
strategic significance in the light
Of the relatively small quantities
involved. He emphasized, in this
connection. that the judgment of
military officials as well as COM
modify specialists were followed
in determining what materials
should be controlled for export.
AS for scrap rubber. Mr.. Sawyer
said only 1.167 tons were exported
to China through August. 1850,
and that its customary use in
China was for shoes for civilians.
Oil of possible military use has
been cut off since early in the
year, Mr.. Sawyer said, adding that
the shipment of such supplies
brought out before the O'Conor
subcommittee left this country
before controls were imposed or
reached China from Japan. The
department., he pointed out, has
no control over such latter ship
mentS.

of feud touched of by the

with Premier-Marshal Tito.
A Yugoslav Information Minis
try spokesman said the Albanian
legation here has been CLOSED
and sealed" and simultaneously
made public the text Of a note
handed the Albanian representa-
tive here announcing both the
action and the reason for it.
The note charged Albania has
used the Belgrade legation not for
the conduct of current affairs
and for the settlement of existing
issues between the two govern
ments, but has utilized its exist
sence exclusively for the purposes
of conducting offending and pro-
vocative activities against Yugo-
slavia and its authority.

2 "Yugoslavia therefore consid-
ers the further sojourn of the rep
resentatiyes of Albania in Yugo-
slavia clearly useless" it said.
The move marked the most
spirited step Tito's government
has yet taken against any of the
Soviet satellites in retaliation for
a Moscow directed campaign
which has included an economic
boycott, political pressure and
diplomatic insults.
Yet it fell one step short of an
outright diplomatic break = at
least up to this point. The note
said Yugoslavia has chosen, the
legations of Yugoslavia and Al
bania in Budapest. Hungary, "for
the maintenance of. diplomatic
relations between the two coun-
tries"
To Receive Mail.
It said also that Yugoslavia was
prepared to receive diplomatic
mail from the Albanian govern
ment through any Albanian diplo-
matte mission or directly by
regular mail" Whether Albania
will accept these conditions re-
mains uncertain.
In effect, this means each
country will be without represen-
tatives in the others capital to
report first hand information on
the others affairs.
Except for the delivery Of the
diplomatic note, the latest de-
velopment in the Balkan cold war
OF nerves between this Com
inunist nation and her Communist
neighbors does not change the
situation much.
The Yugoslav legation in
Tirana. the Albanian capital, has
been closed since July as a result
OF what this country termed
persecution and discrimination
against Yugoslav diplomatic rep
resentatives. Albania has main
