POINT-FOUR AT HOME

POINT-FOUR AT HOME
IN THESE DAYS of conflicting ideaIogies and endless
talk about the value Of personal freedom, neighborliness, and
the like, it is only natural that Point-Four Program should re-
ceive attention. That is the one program Of all that have been
propounded which could serve more than ANYTHING else not
only to combat communism, but to give actual meaning to
the endless talk about values, personal and otherwise. Such a
program 25 years ago, would have convinced men the world
over that their brothers hearts were in the right places. Back
wards areas would have developed their resources, thus max
ing it possible for business to take on a more normal nature
The heavily populated areas would then have been able to
draw upon the once backward areas for those materials need
ed, and the highly industrialized sections of the world could
then send their products to the outlying areas. The answer to
much of what are today known as problems would have
come.
WHILE THE Virgin Islands are not within the category
OF the areas to be considered, yet the purposes of Point -Four
should make it possible for us to enjoy some Of the intended
benefits. In keeping with the general idea, the House Com
mitee on Insular Affairs has suggested that the United States
spend Is million dollars in an overall program designed to
put these Islands on their economic feet. If the maxim that
charity begins at home means anything, this is the place -
bring it into effect.
H YEARS have proved that half hearted, in-between
methods will not accomplish much for these Islands. There
has already been too much Of this. What is now needed, as
has been said SO many times, is a plan worked out between
the Islands and the great nation of which they are a part. The
plan should cover all possible phases of life, and particularly
the economic. But greatest of all, once the plan has been
worked out, there should be time for it to take effect. Within
the last Is years too many agencies have come and gone,
many of them having no real relationship to the needs of the
place.

Wages Up Also
There have been more SHARP
increases this year. Bread. flour
eggs, milk, meat, gas and elec-
Itricity all cost more today. Sc

Wages have gone up, too. Thi:
is in the governments favor, be-
cause the working Australian has
more money today than ever be-
I fore. The basic wage has in
creased from 6 pounds IL shillings
($14.70) a week in 1949 to
pounds 13 shillings ($19.30)-31

| Rising prices helped put Mr.
Menzies into power in December
1949. "The great task" he saio
at the time, "is to get value back
into the pound"
Mr.. Chifiey, his predecessor as
Prime Minister, says much the
same thing. 1.-The one and only
problem is to arrest the runaway
Menzies pound and to place IL

his policy speech March %.
Mr.. Chif1ey said that labor, i.

majority in the House of Repre-
SentativeS
You must go back three years
for the background.
| In 1948 the Labor government
changed the method Of election
lof the Senate from preference
voting to proportional repre-
sentation and decided to increase
the Senate from 36 to 60-1C
instead of six Senators from each
state.
4-to-3 Split
When the December, 1949
election came round, 18 Of the
SO sitting Senators retired. The
18 who still had three years OF
their six-year terms to run in
cluded Is Labor men.
Seven new Senators were elected
from each state. The proportional
representation system of voting
lis complicated, but the effect OF
it is that if seven people from
two parties are to be elected it's
guineas to gooseberries they will
be split four to three.
That's exactly how it worked
out. In five states the Liberal
] Country team won four seats anc
Labor three: in one state Labor
got four and the others three.
That gave labor "a seats in the
Senate, and the Liberal Country
parties only 26.
In this election, 10 Senators
are to be elected from each Aus
tralian state. For one party te
win six of the 10 Senate seats
in any one state, that party woulo

Australians think the Menzie:

less than halfway through the
normal three-year term of ar

Labor from power 16 months agt

numbers.
The sharp Kerr tongue and
his Baptist background, was
called for last fall when able
Senator Mike Monroney was
having election trouble with the
Rev. William Alexander, a red
headed Oklahoma City preacher
who started running as a Demo-
crat and then switched to grab
the Republican nomination.
Helped Monroney
Kerr took on Alexander in
this vein:
1.-THE preacher" he GRATED,
"told all his folk to come one
Sunday and he'd tell them about
running for the Senate. He said
he'd stayed up all night wres-
tling with his conscience ana

know is who did ne sit up and
wrestle with when he decided
to be a Republican? 1t couldn't
have been the Lord, because
the Good Book says: Jesus

Again Kerr took off on Alex
