Fiscal History

Fiscal History
This seems a logical point to
discuss the very controversial sub
ject of Virgin Islands finances. At
my request, the Comptroller Gen
eral in cooperation with the Sc
cretary of the Treasury last fall
prepared an excellent fiscal his
tory of the Virgin Islands from
the time of our purchase in 1917
through 1949. This report was pre-
pared under the direction Of MI.
Robert H. Slaughter, then Assls-
tant Chief of Investigations, GAO,
with the able cooperation Of the
Treasury Department. This report
should be a Bible for the commit
tee and for Congress in consider
ing legislation authorizing appro-
priations for the Virgin Islands.
l earnestly recommend that the
committee request the Comp
troller General to keep this report
current for each fiscal year.
Two copies of this fiscal history
report are available in the COM
mittee files. A third very properly
has been deposited with the Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands. 1t is
suggested that one of the commit
tee copies be transmitted to the
Library Of Congress, where it will
be available to the taxpayers OF
the United States who have done
SO we'll by the Virgin Islands. Con-
sideration might well be given to
having the report printed as a
Senate document.
In connection with the 1917 pur-
chase price of $25,000,O0O for the
islands, it is interesting to note
that in 1867 Secretary of State
Seward negotiated a treaty for
ST. 100000 for ST. Thomas and St.
John but that the Senate of the
Fortieth Congress refused to give
its advice and consent thereto. A
second purchase treaty was nego-
tiated by Secretary of State John
Hay during the administration OF
President Theodore Roosevelt, but
this one was defeated in the Dan
ish Parliament by those who
wanted a better price than the
SIS, 200, 900 offered. .

cited in this report. No small part
of these military funds went for
the construction of beach and Of
ficers clubs and the building and
equipping of magnificent homes
for officers. These residences with
their equipment proba' ly could
not be duplicated for S. 900 each.
They were built at a time when
construction materials and man
power were at a premium for the
wal effort.
The attention of the Military
Affairs Committee is respectfully
directed to this fact.
Despite the $25, OOO, 900 in mill
tary expenditures, however, the
air and naval bases all have been
abandoned. A unit of the Army
Chemical Corps occupies a part Of
the former submarine installation,
but this appears to have no rela-
ton to any potential offensive OF
defensive military action based
on the Virgin Islands. In the light
of today's ~long-range bombers aid
snorkel submarines, there is no
reason to believe that the Virgin
Islands possess any value as a
military base, particularly in view
of the proximity of Puerto Rico
and Vieques, Guantanamo Bay.
and the like.
I stress this fact only because
the Virgin Islands have openly as
serted their belief that they were
entitled to special privileges and
SPECIAL treatment because they are
a strategic outpost in the Ameri-
can defense system. 1t should be
emphasized that as American CT
tizens the Virgin Islanders are en-
titled to the same rights and pri-
vileges, and the same protection,
as are American citizens in my
own State of Nebraska or any
where else. But they are not en-
titled to any greater rights or to
special treatment because of the
accident of their geographical
location.
1t would be more helpful indeed
to the Virgin Islands people to
face up to the fact they are not
special cases.

Report TO the Senate Interior and Insulur
Affairs Comm. on on Investigation in
the Virgin Islunds
by Senator Hugh Butler

In late 1916, there appeared
danger that Germany might oc-
cupy Denmark, as she Subsequent
ly did in World War II. A Ger
many in control of Denmark and
the de facto government of the
mother country might have had a
color of legitimacy and right in
obtaining possession Of the Dan
ish West Indian Islands. With the
weapons of warfare then in use,
possession of these islands by a
hostile power would have been a
very real threat to the Panama
Canal.
Although the Virgin Islands
had been a financial liability to
Denmark for at least half a cen
tury previously, the United States
agreed to buy St. Croix as well
as St. Thomas and st. John, and
the Royal Danish Government
was able to obtain the very sub
stantial figure of $25, 900, 900, or al
most $50 an acre, for the IS, 12O
acres involved. Contrast this fig
ure with the Louisiana and Alas
ka purchases of 2 cents & 8 cents
an acre.)
Importance as Military Base
However cogent may have been
the reasons for purchase in 1917.
at what was certainly an excessive
price in view of the fact that the
islands had been increasingly
costly in time and money to the.
Danish crown for at least half a
century, their value as a military
base has never been fulfilled. Ap-
parently their use in World War 1
was the negative one of prevent
their falling into the hands of
Germany. Prior to World WarII,
a marine air base and a submarine
base were established on Saint
Thomas. After mid-1942, an Army
air base was set up on st. Croix
and a Puerto Rican coast artillery
unit transferred to St. Thomas.
In all, according to the Govern
ment Accounting Office report,
more than $25, 900, 900 was spent in
the islands on so-called military
expenditures. The military ex-
penditures have not been included
in any part of the cost figures

Hoffman Urges Fund
OF 81 Billion Yearly
ToAid Foreign Nations
By the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Paul G
Hoffman, Ford Foundation presi-
dent and former head of Economic
Aid to Europe, urges the United
States to earmark So billion yearly
to bolster the economies of free
nations.
Speaking last night at the clos
ing session of the Goth annual
New York Herald Tribune Forum,
the onetime ECA administrator
said such aid might LAY the foun-
dationS for a peace that will en-
dure throughout the balance of
this century"
But by withholding help and
allowing chaotic conditions" to
develop in friendly countries. He
added. "We might be well on our
way toward committing national
suicide"
Cites Reason for Actions.
He urged Americans to under
stand the reasons behind the ac-
tions of other nations, such as
1ndia's recognition of Red China
Undersecretary of State James
E. Webb told the forum American
partnerships with other nations
are based on self-interest as well
as idealiSm. He added:
We see our amazingly efficient
industries every day growing more
and more dependent on materials
from other lands. -.
Our Munitions Board tells us
that our present military produc-
ton effort is limited by scarcities
in so different commodities, and
that in only IA of these do we
produce as much as 20 per cent
of our requirements"
Praise for the work of the State
Department. Voice of America" "
broadcasts came from Alan G.
Kirk. United States Ambassador
to the Soviet Union.
Evidence of Effectiveness.
He said the best evidence of how
effective the Voice" has been is
the Soviet's effort to jam the
broadcasts. However, he said. no
attempt is made to Jam broad
casts which are not in one of the
Soviet languages.
He said he thought the Voice"
broadcasts should be augmented
and increased"
Ralph McGill. editor of the
Atlanta Constitution. said that to
help win world peace. American
communities should get acquaint-
ed on a personal basis with
peoples of other lands.
A Nationwide exchange of ma
tionalS is needed, he declared.
