Accommodations as fine as are to

Most of this development
has been through private mi

Of the insular government and
with some help from the fed

tinued Whole-hearted interest
and support of every person
in these islands is essential to
maintain the charm and friend

Virgin Islands such a fine
reputation.
We have seen the Virgin Is

and reorganized as the Virgin
Islands Corporation. Thorough
its power development, loans,
and soil and water conserve
ton programs, the Corpora
ton has made a start in pro-
viding the facilities which the
people Of the Virgin Islands
need to help themselves.
Unfortunately, one Of the
Corporations principal activi-
ties, the production of sugar,
while most important Ia Great
ing employment and substan-
tial payrolls, IS still economic
ally unsound Progress has
been made in increasing the
production Of sugar cane
through better agricultural
practices, but the monetary
losses remain substantial. Any

heavy annual subsidies is a

delivered BY Assistant Secretary ROBERT ROSE at
Cornerstone Ceremony Of the new Municipal Hospital
in Christiansted ST. Croix. VIZ May 9. 1852

The laying Of this corner
stone for the Christiansted
Hospital offers a good time for
us to take stock. A good deal
has been done in this territory
ia recent years. What does it
all mean, and what is still re-
CURED Of US? In the end, what
new responsibilities will our
recent gains bring to youtWho
are permanent residents OF
this island territory?
Let us review for a moment
some Of the principal accom-
plishments in the economic,
social and political fields.
The Public Works program
is now in full swing. This new
hospital, and other new hospi-
tails, are evidences Of the pro-
gress being made. We expect
to see the construction Of new
schools start soon. Improved
water supplies have been con-
structed, and adequate electric
power now seems assured.
You have modern sewer sys-
TENS in the three towns of the
islands. You will soon enjoy
an efficient communications
system.
Most Of these important de-
v~elopments are now, or soon
will be, yours to maintain and
operate. It depends on you
whether Of not they benefit
the community to the maxi
mum extent.

industry in the last few years
