A UNIFIED ALL-VIRGIN ISLANDS, APPROACH
H RECENT comments on the Joint meeting of repre-
sentativeS of the Chambers of Commerce Of St. Thomas and
St Grolx brings to mind the Importance Of Virgin Islanders
everywhere adopting a unified" or @alIinclusive" point Of
view, rather that a divisive and segmentaI attitude.
THE ~~SEGMENTAL" Virgin Islander is one who sees
every living thing as a @Crucian" or st. Thomian" and who is
always suspicious of anything that is not started in his island
or is n OF intended for his island, specifically. He supports
movements on the mainland, not from the point of view of
benefit to the entire Virgin Islands, but according to whether
a Crucian or a ST. Thomian is at the head Of the movement.
He sometimes even approaches Congressman and high gov
eminent officials making special appeals for his island and,
either directly or indirectly, speaking against the other major
island.
THANK HEAVENS this number is relatively small, but
it is still capable of doing harm. The divisive and segmentaI
element make it very confusing for friends of the Virgin IS
lands who want to be helpful and who are not prepared to
appreciate the differences" between St. Thomas and St. Croix
and among Virgin Islanders. When they try to discover what
the differences are, they find that they are more imagined
than real. In high places of responsibility, where the small
ness of the Islands already make them to be forgotten easily,
the situation is made worse by insisting on special considera-
ton for just one island. Most people won't be bothered with
the peanut" chickering's.
IT'S fortunate that the people of St John do not insist on
special treatment for their island because it is different from
the other two; and blessed are we that we arc not six or more
populated islands each fighting for. special privileges.
1T WILL BE difficult, but everything that can help to
unite us in fact and before the world should be encouraged,
in government, in business, in our cultural life, and in our day
to-day relations. A good way to begin is for each of us to re-
cognize that he loses nothing by being a Virgin Islander Che
still remains g Crucianl and that we stand to gainasya people
or as a national unit as we can make a united, total impact,
for the benefit of all the islands. Before the world, each Of

NEGROES OBJECT
TO GRADUAL
CIVIL RIGHTS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - AMP 49,
The gradual way on civil rights"
was denounced last week in the
"From The People" column Of the
Arkansas Gazette in letters by
irate Negro citizens.
The debate was started two weeks
ago when the Gazette published a
letter by DR.. ]. NJ. Robinson. presi-
dent of the Arkansas Negro Demo
Gratis, in which he declared that the
Negro was not ready for full civil
rights.
DIR. Robinson said he felt Negroes
were not for a fair employment prac-
tees act He also declared he did
not favor an anti-poll tax.
c. II. Jones, publisher, Southern
Mediator-J ournal, and Fred c. Byrd,
in a letter to the Gazette, opposed
DR.. Robinson by saying:
Most emphatically, we do not
subscribe to our good doctors the
DRY of 'unreadiness' for full citizen
ship, and further state that II has
been delayed too long"
Pointing out that there are no
provisions in the constitution for
first, second and third class citizen
ship, they said by his statement DIR.
ready or capable to fill such a re-
Robinson admits that he is not
sponsible position" as head Of the
Arkansas Negro Democrats. They
added that he "repudiates the right
to equal justice in the courts of the
land, equal pay for equal work,
equal education for equal brains
and hands. and the Interchangeable
right of the people to govern them
selves through the ballot"
Another reader, w. H Bass. cit
ed a poll he is taking on DR.. Rob
inson's letter. This poll, he said,
proves the Negroes fundamentally
against him and the whites about
$3.50 for him. Bass concludes.
"Dr. Robinson spoke for himself
and he is entitled to his opinion"

Million Volunteers
Await &C Day"

NEW YORK - More than one
million colored and White volun-
teers will spring into action on &C
Day" April /, when the 1850 Can
Ger Crusade launches a double OBJ
jective drive for cancer control, 1t
was announced this week by the
American Cancer Society.
Under command of national cam
paign chairman Major General Will
liam ]. Donovan, former chief Of
the Office of Strategic Service -
famed wartime espionage force -
volunteers in all the 81 divisions Of
the Society are planning the most
extensive attack ever launched
against the dreaded disease that
knows no age, race, color or nation
al origin - cancer.
The first objective is a goal OF
$14,565, 900 to finance the work Of
the American Cancer Society in its
numerous activities, including re-
search on more than $50 projects.
The second great objective, and
one which General Donovan des-
cribes as equally important, is the
alerting of a maximum number Of
people of all races to cancers dang
er signals.
During April, Cancer Control
Month";" General Donovan said, 1.-The
whole nation should be made can
cer-conscious. During the coming
year an estimated $4,000 Ameri-
cans win get cancer. About half Of
these could be saved from death
but only IL they seek treatment In
time - when the disease Is in its
early stages"
"As IT now stands" he said, "only
about a quarter are being saved by
surgery and radiation. Our cam
paign Of education could double this
figure. It's worth fighting for"
