Many Virgin Islanders feel
that Senator Butler is UNI
friendly toward the people of
this area, because he has
shown an intelligent interest
and made an objective study
OF conditions here. I think that
it is time for us to examine
closely what the US. Senator
has stated to see where imme-
date corrections may b e
made. The man is certainly not
unfriendly, although he is
highly critical Of our affairs.
We're we not so dependent
upon the American taxpayers,
in continental United States.
our business as well as our
foibles would excite little at
tention in Congress.
1t is doubtful whether the
Virgin Islands can ever be-
come independent of United
States grants-in-aid, and def
cit appropriations, through the
direct efforts of the native in
habitants. It would take at
least a generation, and a very
intensive adult education pro-
gram, to get the people to the
point where they can feel res
possibility for government.
Some authorities blame the
paternalism Of Denmark and
the dictatorship of the US.
Navy for the "let government
do it" attitude of the people.
Others glibly assert that "Ne-
groes predominant in the popu

of both conclusions is open to
contention. Another group
blames the tropical climate

education must be blamed for
the failure of the people to put
first things first. Even in our
schools where their formative
years are spent, the children
of the islands for the most
part are not given fundamen-
tai training in the art of liv-
ing, regardless of their acade-
mic standings.
| must say in all fairness to
the parents in my section of
Charlotte Amalie that they
have been very cooperative
and responsive to my efforts
to reduce some of the evils I
met when I began as head of
Lincoln School. Instead of
raising money by public
dances, ~raffles, begging and
other undesirable methods, ]
made it quite clear that the
parents themselves had to give
full support to all fund raising
drives and even for certain
school activities which normal
~ are sponsored by the CEN
trail government. The parents
furnish materials for practical
arts; they contribute to the
Thanksgiving baskets; they
pay for costumes; they buy
textbooks and workbooks to
supplement the regular stock.
On the other hand, I failed
to persuade the authorities to
let me put the Hot Lunch Pro-
gram on a partial self-support-
ing basis. That decision was
outside my province; but the
little that has been done at
Lincoln School proves that the
people will do something
about their needs and respon-
sibilities, if they are properly
educated.

 "The history of Alaska under the rule of
 the United States" continues The Anchorage
 Daily Times, shows that controls administered
 from Washington are ineffective. The Rus
 sians had learned that controls from Moscow
 were ineffective"
 Then The Times enormously prescrbes cure for these ills: replace remote controls with local sovereignty under statehood.
 Fine But is the pending statehood legislation the right prescription? Will it's passage cure-or kill the patient?
 Unfortunately, Aaska's cure isn't that simple. Instead of REMOVING bureaucratic controls. the pending statehood bill STRENGTHENS them. In- stead of LIBERATING Alaska, this legislation would ENSLAvE the Territory with restrictions that could not be removed for generations.
 The Anchorage Times editorial points up the fact that timber is allowed to over-mature and decay under present bureaucratic restrictions. Nothing in present statehood legislation would change it. The ruinous Interior Department policies of withdrawing public lands Indian reservations, for example would be strengthened if the statehood bills passed The study Alaska statehood bills the more we are certain of this:
 Every possible attempt is being made to
 see to it that bureaucratic, stifing control
 of Alaska be strengthened by statehood The

Two Davis Log Rafis WiII Go South For Pulp Tesis

To determine the best process methods for manufacture of Alaska spruce and heinlock into high grade dissolving pulp, two Davis log rafts will soon leave Ketchi- kan fer Puget Sound.
 This was announced today by B. Frank Heintzleman who added he had granted the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Company permission for the shipment not to exceed two million board feet. Heintzle- man said this type of superior quality pulp, which goes into ray on and cellophane, is to be pro- duced in the company's $36,000,- 900 plant at Ketchikan.
 Tests on how to handle our hemlock and spruce in full sized commercial mill operations on dis solving pulp are extremely desirable in connection with the designing work now in progress for the new mill at Ketchikan," said Heintzle- man.
 "The two Davis rafts will con- tain enough raw material for a weeks run in the plant at Bellin9- ham, Wash, which has just been reconditioned to make this high grade pulp A test of this length is required to permit of making ad- iustments in the machinery and in the processing methods which may be found necessary in work ing with this Alaska timber" ne stated.
 Heintzleman added that this shipment of logs for experimental purposes in no way departs from the Forest Service policy of non export of logs for manufacture elsewhere.
 The logs are to be purchased from local logging concerns Ill Southeast Alaska. Heintzleman said Charles Marlin, or Ketchikan, IS in Juneau at present to make log purchases for the company.
 Heintzleman added that last week the Columbia Lumber Com- pany of Juneau was granted per- mission to export 5O,000 feet of logs for testing purposes for ply wood in connection with it's pro- posed new plywood plant in Juneau.

 There is no official explanation of the action, but some quarters be- lieve it may be retaliation for the imprisonment of Associated Press correspondent William Oatis. The American reporter was sentenced by Czech court to ten years on spy charges.
 President Truman has said he is determined to take whatever mea- sures are necessary to free Oatis. An American official said today that three western powers have agreed in this joint action to bar Czech flights.
