lessons they will learn is that Ameri-

NEED FOR
PROMPT ACTION

The Government Of the Vir
gin Islands faces serious new
financial burdens and urgent
~ needs the revenue from
these taxes with out delay.
|. The local government has
taken over the administration
of the airports at st. Thomas
and st. Croix, which the Navy
and Army, respectfully de-
veloped during the war but
no longer operate. These fields
are essential to our commerce
and the development Of the
tourist trade. The properties
include a housing project and
other buildings which are fast
deteriorating. Funds are need
ed to maintain these buildings
and the other facilities. The
local government is unable to.
repair and maintain these pro-
perties.

Concluded from yesterday
They are strategically To-
Gated from a military point
of view, and are essential
to the defense of the ma
ton and the Panama Canal.
CD Any move to stabilize
the economy Of the islands
will improve the morale of
the loyal American citizens
residing in the islands. (c)
Under the Presidents point
4 Program, the Virgin Is
lands comprise a dependent
area, and moreso an Ameri
can dependent area, and
the advancement Of its eco
nomy should be given fav-
orable consideration. (d)
The return Of the internal
revenue taxes will help con
siderably in improving the
economy of this dependent
area which is so strategy
cally located.

services.
(b) To provide funds in the
future for capital improve
ments, which are much
needed in the islands; and
also to initiate a limited in
dustrial program in CO.
operation with private en-
terprise.
(c) It should also be pointed
out that no such limitation
has ever been imposed on
the amount Of internal rev
enue taxes returned to PR.
Moreover, the Bureau of
the Budget has recon-
mended that these taxes
now be returned to the Vii
gin Islands without limita-
ton of amount.

ELIMINATION OF
THE RESTRICTION

S. 100 as introduced inn
poses a limitation that the to-
tai amount of these internal
revenue taxes paid the Govern
ment Of the Virgin Islands
not exceed $500, 900 in any one
year. Revenue in excess of
that sum would go into the
Federal Treasury. This limita-
ton would work hardship and
injustice upon the Virgin Is
lands.
It is likely that, in some
year, the tax in question may
yield less than $500, 900. In
others it might yield more
than a million dollars. The full
yield Of the good years is need
ed for the following purposes:
(a) TO achieve the $780, 900
annual average which the
Public Administration Ser
kMk

tenn went into effect on July
/, 1948. Efforts have been
made to classify positions, but
funds have not been available,
despite deficit appropriations
by Congress, to standardize
all at minimum acceptable
levels. We cannot expect
clerks, nurses, policemen and
other public servants whose
food costs as much if not more
than the food of workers in
the States to continue much
longer on salaries most of
which are less than 500 per
month.
3. Because Of declining local
revenues it will become nee
essary to make drastic reduc-
tons in the expenses of operat
ing the local government. This
will mean a reduction in force
of probably over one hundred
#aN 80 EA. Hf5E#
employees effective July |,
1850. Such drastic reduction is
bound to reflect in the quality
Of essential governmental SER
vices such as medical care,
education, police protection,
etc. The hardships to be inn
posed upon the local commu-
nifty may be irreparable when
already limited hospital and
educational facilities are fur
ther curtailed. The enactment
Of S. 100, without restrictions,
during the present session Of
Congress will greatly relieve
this situation.
In these circumstances,
there is clear justification and
great need for prompt Con-
gressional action to the end
that S. 1870 shall become law
before the 81st Congress adj
Ijounns.

used for conversation between
Europeans and African slaves
for, possibly, two centuries be
fore the English language
took its place.
There is also an interesting
account of the colonization of
the Islands by the Danes
which started in st. Thomas
in 1865 or early 1866. The story
of hardships, which included
hurricanes, fires, piracy and
disease, points to the fact I it
the Danes were courageous
and persistent.
The story of the work of
the Lutheran and Moravian
missionaries is beautiful and
inspiring. The program Of ed
ucation, the growth of the diff
ferent churches and denomina
tons, the changes and trans
fers OF each is most interesting
and enlightening.
Another outstanding fea-
ture of the book points to the
Christian attitude which Den
mark showed toward its sub
jects, especially the slaves.
Many ordinances were passed
to insure good treatment, reG-
giouS training and, finally, a
program Of education in pre-
paration for freedom which
Denmark had in mind long be
fore it came. Anyone who
reads the story, even casually,
will easily understand why
the people of these Islands
hold a warm place in their
hearts for that little industri-
Gus, peace-loving, democratic
country Of the Danes.

AN ALASKAN CAN ANSWER THE
PRESIDENT ON STATEHOOD

There is little in President Trumans letter on
statehood addressed to Senator OMahoney, and pub
lished in The Empire early this week, with which an
informed opponent of statehood cannot take issue.
After some very fine general statements regarding
the welfare and development of the Territories that
will follow statehood the President rests his for
statehood ION both moral and legal grounds"
In this statement President Truman skips COM
pletely the fiscal grounds necessary to operate a
state any other business
There many things to which each and every
individual is entitled on moral and legal grounds his
home or shelter; food for his table a job.
But these things all governed by the indi-
viduals personal circumstances. His ability to pay for
his home to money to buy food for his table,
by willingness and capacity for work and ability to
hold job
Maybe the President is correct. We may have
moral and legal grounds for statehood. But does he
not overlook the practical details of paying for it.
Where we are going to find the slOOOoOoO or so a
year that it will require support satehood-over
the present cost of the Territory, don't know Our
population is small. Under the provision of HR. $751;
the state would have little land of its to help
pay for its existence Certainly small population
could not support the additional cost of statehood
could few industries pay the necessary additional
taxes
Figure it out One hundred thousand people a
fisheries Industry the liquor business and the present
building for the military somehow, among them,
they would have to pay the cost of statehood. Gold
mining is, at least for the present, virtually thing
of the past. Aside from some logging and small
mill operation what industry, other than fishing do
we have in Alaska?
How the fisheries going to stand more taxes?
In fact how the fishermen the loggers the bust
ness going to be able to produce enough additional
taxes to support state-that extra $l00oO00O or

Acheson's Big Problem

Before Secretary of State Ache
son left for the Big Three Con-
ference, he had report from
the Orient indicating that French
Indo- China was the most vital
area in preventing the spread OF
Communism.
The report came from Ed Dick
inson, ace trouble-shooter for ECA
administrator Paul Hoffman. State
Department officials concur with
Dickinson's views.
They believe that if Communism
once takes over Indo-China, then
Burma, the Malays, Siam, India
and Indonesia will also fall, max
ing all OF the Orient Russian
sphere of influence.
Furthermore, it is believed that
this is Moscow's chief goal For
the Red Army today lacks oil
gasoline, tin and rubber. All these
things are to be obtained in the
wealthy area lying south of French
o-China.
However, saving Indo-China will
be one of the toughest jobs the
West ever tackled. 1t is also Ache
sons thorniest diplomatic problem
at London. Here are some Of the
factors making it tough:
/. The U. S. Senate Is Hot And
Bothered About China, but not In
do-China. This may be because OF
the well-heeled Kuomintang lobby
which has spent thousands In
Washington influencing Congress.
Whatever the cause, when Acheson
publicly proposed aid to Indo-China,
he was rebuked next day by Gen
ator George of Georgia who want
ed to know who was going to vote
the money,

2. The French Are A Handicap.
French Administration of Indo-
China in the past has been ineffi-
cient, corrupt, imperialistic The
natives don't like them, shoot down
French troops at night if they
stray a mile or SO outside of
towns.
3. Ipdo-China Is Split Among
Various Factions. There is nc
love for Emperor Bao Dali, one
time Paris playboy, whom the
French have set up as ruler. There
is also bitter hatred for guerrilla
leader Ho Chi Mimi and his scor-
ched-earth policy.
Possibly The United STATES could
handle the situation better with
out the French. But that would
ALLEVIATE one of our oldest allies
Thus Acheson has the Senate to
buck on one hand, the French on
the other and the Communists all
around him.

Coal Operators Union

Big coal operators are quietly
planning to form a virtual union
of their own, thereby giving Harry
Moses, Boss of the U. S. Steel

the same dictatorial powers over

Under the proposed new setup,
scheduled to take effect early in
July, Moses will be top man OF an
executive committee that can force
all northern operators, big and
little, to sign contracts with Lewis
whether they like them or not.
In other words, U. S. Steel, whlcn
already has a monopolistic grip on
the steel industry, also will control
the coal industry.
Note = southern operators and
