A GOOD POLICY TO FOLLOW
H OPPORTUNITY for qualified natives to fill respon-
sible~ positions is one of the great assets of the civil admins
tration, and it has continued through the past several years.
So great is this phase of our local life that every effort should
be made to keep it intact, and as unSpoled and untarnished
as possible.
COLONIAL ADMINISTRATIONS through the centu-
rhs have been accused of exploitation, of picking and keeping
the chosest plums for the mother country. All this meant that
positions Of responsibility were carefully guarded and kept
for those who came from far to enjoy them. Whatever Jobs
were doled out to natives were of the politically exploiting
nature, and petty to say the least. Fortunately for the Virgin
Islands there is the opportunity for natives to fill top level
positions.
WITHIN H PAST 10 years we have seen a native
governor take office, a Commissioner of Health, a Chief Mu-
ncipal physician, a head of personnel service, and now an
administrator. With this pattern set, the future should be
clear. Efforts need no longer be to win these positions, but to
strengthen them and thus make them more effective instru-
ments for the improvement Of these Islands.
THERE ARE MANY reasons why qualified natives
should be given preference in the placement Of positions.
There is always the sense of permanence and responsibility.
In addition there is the deepseated desire to bring these Is
lands the very best that can be had for them, and it is only
natural that the native who is conscientious and eager will
strive to bring this about. On the other hand when response
bic positions are filled by outsiders, there is always the posi-
biEty that job-hunters might be on the prowl; that they are
satisfying their sense Of adventure, and that after a little
while, when enough security, economic, political and other
wise has been had, then these officials will pull up stakes and
move along to give their best somewhere else. And this has
been our experience through the years.
U IN ALL THIS discussion Of whether qualified ma
tves should fill these positions, a word of warning must be
given. Over anxious and pseudo-ambifous natives might for
get the real basis for selection and service, and attempt to
tc make a farce Of this policy. Political and other unessential

have recently witnessed screening OF
the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture
entitled Go for Broke". 1t is a real plea
sure to extend to you the official approval
of the Department of the Army on this
film.
Your picture is a magnificent portrayal
of Infantry in combat. The realism OF the
foot soldiers role in wrestling ground from
a tenacious enemy, and keeping it in the
face of the foes stubborn fight to take
back what he lost, does credit to the cast,
direction, and production.
You have brought to the screen more
than a war picture in telling the story OF
the Tooth Battalion and the 44Znd Kegi-
mental Combat Team, two outfits which
were awarded six Distinguished Unit cita-
tons. These young Americans OF Japan
csc ancestry fought side by side with men
of many races and creeds in other y. ,;
Army units and those of our Allies and
their exploits, which are so wildly and m,
realistically portrayed in Go for Broke! !,
should certainly appeal to the millions OF
people who attend motion picture theaters'
