Citizen Co1nmends on
Sen. Butler Report

I read Senator Buffers Report
on the Virgin Islands and with
all my respects for the Senator's
findings and conclusions / may
say that your editorial in the is
U of the 10Th brought some re-
lief to me. For I, too, had some
doubts about the Senator's parti-
cular observation running:
-. The question arises whe-
ther the burdens and complica-
lions of the type of democracy &
economy we have evolved for
ourselves over the years on the
mainland of the United States
r suited to and in the best in
terests of the economically back
ward and politically immature
inhabitants of areas to whom such
responsibilities are by nature
foreign"
May I be permitted to add some
remarks.
I have been settled on this isle
for a short time and am not yet
familiar with the problems con-
cerned. / am particularly not
called upon to deal with econo-
mic questions. / only know that
at the top administrative level
strenuous efforts are being made
to achieve economic independence
from the mainland of the United
States by making the Virgin Is
lands self-supporting as far and
as quick as possible. But in one
field I may make some observa-
ton of my own as early as today:
From what I have seen and ex-
perienced in the Department of
Health including Division of Men
tai Health in st. Thomas and St.
Croix up to now, and from my
professional contacts with the De-
partments Of Education and So
cial Welfare and other coopera-
tive agencies I may say in good
conscience this: While it is true,
that a large part of the inhabi-
tants of these areas ire still econo-
mically backward and politically
immature, the Virgin Islands is
fortunate enough to have very
progressive and mature nrnfo@
