SMALL BUSINESS-A WAY OUT

SMALL B~USINESS-A WAY OUT
IL WILL BE noted that one Of the detectives for the III
innate self suficiency of these Islands is the development Of
small business. That is good indeed, and frankly one of the
best ideas, and should work to the advantage of all. These
Islands are small, there is no real opportunity to develop an
industrial empire such as General Electric, General Motors,
or a Bell Telephone. What, then, is the way out?
HERE is, and has been a tendency to seek all solution
through the government, which is most unfortunate to saw
the least. For the longest time private enterprise has been dor
mani, playing its cards close to the belt, and refusing either
through tear or lack of foresight to venture where absolute,
guaranteed profits were not a matter of certainty. But if these
Islands are to become self supporting then it seems to us as
it private capital must play a greater and more responsible
role.
THE MATTER of small business is not new. Many a
nation has kept its head above the economic waters through
the years by conducting small business. Denmark, with its
excellent cooperative dairy system; Switzerland, with its
matchmaking and winter resorts, are but two examples of
small business SO conducted as to become national assets. The
Islands have their opportunity. With the tourist trade on a
year-round basis, products for sale could be developed and
income provided both for those engaged, as well as revenue
for the government. We need extend our imagination no fur
Their than the successful development of Chainee iewelry,
which won a place in a national magazine not long ago. Had
anyone mentioned such a venture but a few years ago he
would have been laughed out of town.
WE STILL have an opportunity with local fruits and
vegetables. Cuava Jelly is a delicacy which is winning a high
place among fine foods on the mainland. Papaya, both as a
preserve, and also its meat tenderizing extract, offers one
more means Of income. However, there must be faith and
the willingness to make an effort in that direction. The great
advantage Of small business is that the outlay need not be
extensive.
THERE is still time for us to take advantage of some
Of these opportunities, but if we continue to wait the chance
might slip by.

13, Communist party members ~

program of infiltration in the (Ne-
gro) churches"
The paper says the party inner
circle blamed it's loss of influence
and power among Negroes Jointly
upon the Negro churches and the
NAACP and therefore urged its
members to renew efforts in these
two fields.

resolution against Communist in

Board of Directors to take the
necessary steps to execute it. A

NAA(p DepIores
Cut in Public
Housing Program

NEW YORK-The National AS
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People this week con-
demned the action ofthe House of
Representative in limiting to 5000
the number of housing units to be
developed under the public hous-
ing program.
In a resolution adopted by the
NAACP board of directors at its
monthly meeting on May IA, the
Association urged the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations to lift
the ceiling imposed by the House
and permit the development of "a
reasonable number of low rent
housing dwellings,"
Public housing, the NAACP
board declared, holds out the
greatest promise of changing the
pattern of discrimination and seq
regation which means inequality
and divisiveness and injustice"
The board called the House action
cutting the housing program h
highly reprehensible attack on
public housing"

To the People of the Central
District and the State of Missis-

A man owes a duty to God, his
country, family, friends, and fin
ally to himself. / have sought to
be a Christian for some thirty
years. Public office / have held
for a total of twenty years, four
teen of which l have served as
Highway Commissioner. During
these fourteen years I have had
little time to spend with my fam
lily or friends and practically no
time to do anything for myself.
My work as Highway Commits
ioner has been interesting and en-
joyable. I can look with pride to
the achievements of the depart
ment during these fourteen years.
No finer group of people has ever
been assembled anywhere than
the employees of the Highway de-
partment and particularly of the
Central district. The people are
loyal, patriotic, and have worked
under adverse circumstances: /
think they ought to be paid more
money than we have been able
to give them and, certainly, they
should have some retirement plan
to put them or a parity with en-
ployees in private industry.
My friends throughout the dis
trict and state have been Won
derful to insist that / run for Of
flee again. During the last few
days many telephone calls, tele-
grams, letters and messages have
come to me asking that / follow
that course. For all of these fine
friends I am deeply and humbly
grateful. On two or three occa-
sions / was almost prompted to
make a formal announcement. My
difficulty has been in trying to
reconcile my judgment with that
of the interest of my friends.
The time has now come when
/ must make a decision in the
matter. / have given this a great
deal of careful and prayerful con-
sideration and have come tc a
definite conclusion. / do not plan
to offer for reelection for High
way Commissioner. 1t is with
sincere hope that my friends will
at least try to understand the
motives which prompt this action.
Fourteen years on one job, as con-
troversial as this, is a very long
time. 1t is not my fear of opposi-
ton which prompts this move be-
cause in other days the opposi-
ton has seemed more formidable.
/ am just convinced that. for the
present at least, I should return
to private life. My interest in the
department and in the welfare of
