in it.
The past Of the Virgin Is
lands is intimately connected
with Denmark because of the
more than 240 years the
Danish flag flew here, but GU
riously enough the Islands
also played a part in setting up
diplomatic relations between
Denmark and America.
It was Ernst Frederik Walter
storff, a judge at st. Croix, who
in 1888 was sent to Benjamin
Franklin, at that time American
Minister in Paris, to discuss the
possibility Of sending a Danish
diplomatic representative to
America. But nothing came OF
Walterstorff's mission. It was only
the first step.
In the year 1899, however, the
Danish Minister in London, Count
Wedel Jarslberg, approached the
American Minister there and in
him that our King would
like to appoint a Danish diploma
tic representative to the United
States.

Remarks One Of
Highlights Of Cere.

H9nI19nIS OF OeTes
The Introductory remarks of Dr..
D. c. Canegata before presenting
the Danish Ambassador to the
gathering, was one of the high
lights Of yesterdays ceremony in
the Government House. Many
were deeply impressed.
| Said he: "Your Excellency, La
dies and Gentlemen:
Several years ago, the youngest
and one Of the only two survivinv
members of the Colonial Council
of that day, it was my privilege to
be present in this hall when His
Excellency, Governor H e n r y
Konow, the last governor of the
Danish West Indies, read the open
letter of His Majesty King Chris
tan x of Denmark to the inhabi-
tants of these islands, with and
enclosing the treaty of sale to the
US; shortly before the official
transfer and the removal of the
original furnishings from this
hall.
| At that time deeply conscious
of the tolerance and paternalism
of a most kind and gentle rule,
and with all the fond reminis-
cences of the past profoundly
stirred, we saw a void in one of
our most cherished and valued in
stitutions, which none Of us
thought would ever again be re-
stored. But today with thanks to
the graciousness and generosity of
His Majesty, the King of Denmark
and his people, we r witnessing
the restoration of this hall, with
as the accompanying citation tells
us, "replicas of the original, in
recognition of $50 years of con
tinuous diplomatic relations be-
tween the U.S.A. and Denmark,
and as a token Of friendship"
Crucians everywhere will sub
NIT through the Danish Ambassa-
dor to His Sovereign and people,
with their humble duty their
thanks and appreciation for this
magnificent and splendid gift, and
outward manifestation of good
will for the people of st. Croix.
1t is fitting too that st. Croix
should have been chosen to be the
recipient of this gift, for not only
was this island the capital of the
Danish West Indies throughout
the entire period of Danish over
eighty, but it is also true to say
that it was the one island. in
which Danish sentiment was most
pronounced and expressed in 1902
and in 1915, years when the
treaty of sale was the dominant
theme Of the day. And just let me
add in passing, for / think it is
also true, that the agitation dis

the $50 years Of friendly rela-
tons between Denmark and
the United States by making
'this modest gift"
Ambassador K auffm a n n
then pointed to the fact that
the history of his country was
intimately tied to the Virgin
Islands. His speech follows:
During these last years the
United States has extended a
great deal of help to many
countries. Denmark is one of
them, and my countrymen
feel deep gratitude for the, as
sistance they have received in
rebuilding their economy and
in strengthening their defense.
AS a symbol of Danish gra-
titude we have wanted to
commemorate the 150th ami
versary of the establishment
of diplomatic relationship be
tween our two countries by
making a modest gift to the
American Government.
Denmark's history is init
mate1y tied to the Virgin Is
lands through the many years
in which they were part of our
own country, and when we
learned that the Government
House at Christiansted was to
be restored to what it was like
in the Danish period we were
inspired by the idea of offer
ing to make for you replicas OF
the chandeliers, the bracket
lamps, the mirrors and tabu-
rets and other furniture of the
old Ball Room.
And now this beautiful room
looks as it did over hundred
years ago in the days Of the
Danish Governor General
Peter Won Scholten.
1t seems to me that we
should think of Scholten, not
only in connection with this
house, but because he is the
Danish Governor under whom
the Islands led the world in

A reader asks: when an en-
ploye receives an increase in
salary, isn't it considered bad
manners not to thank ones en-
ployer? I am one of Is girls in an
office and Just recently received a
raise. I went in and thanked my
employer for it. Since then I
have overheard several of the girls
say that I am trying to make a
good impression on the boss. Will
you please comment on this?"
If you personally were given
a raise because of your work
then it was certainly the proper
thing to go and thank him
briefly. If all fifteen girls receive
an increase then it becomes a
budgetary move by the company
and therefore you would not
thank your employer.
