Dear Mr. Brodhurst:

HM 5aE
In the interest Of the facts
as they are, it appears neces-
sary to correct certain state
ments made in an article
under the caption, STATE
MENT OF A Board Of
Directors on Appointment Of
Gordon Skeoch as President
Of the ". !. Corp appearing
in some Of the local papers IN
the Virgin Islands.
First Of all, / should like to
point out that BY far the larg-
est number Of workers en-
ployed during the early part
Of the century was BY three
companies namely: The West
Indian Sugar Factory, The La
Grange Sugar Factory, and
The Central Sugar Factory,
all owned BY Danes. The con-
ceptions and practices follow
ed were precisely Of their
making and certainly can not
be charged against any Small
closely knit group Of planters"
who fought to exist from one
year to another on borrowed
funds advanced against their
crops.
Next | should like to point
out that the late Gov. Paul NJ.
Pearson could never have con-
temp1ated taking over a bank
rupt rum manufacturing
enterprise. This enterprise was
put out Of business entirely by
the Volstead Act. Prohibition)
and was well under way to be
reestablished BY private en-
terprise, when Governor Pear
son employed unusually high
pressure tactics to force pri-
vate capital to abandon their
efforts to start this industry

available was put to use to.
keep the island going. The
false picture Of the masses be
damned is put forth to mislead.
and divide the native people Of
the island. The everlasting
effort to breed hatred among
the few people on this island
by outsiders and others can.
easily be seen through.
The opposition to Governor
Pearson's Legislation to char
ter the vi. Company was due
to the wording of the Act in
which eminent domain could
be enforced by the Company
and generally speaking an att
tempt to establish 4 super
Government not in keeping
with Democracy. The Conn
pany was chartered in Saint
Thomas when it is alleged 4
Dock was promised which
they are still to get.
It is well to point out that
the SO called landed gentry"
has done all in their power,
even travelled to Washington
in an effort to have the v. I.
Co. rechartered. It is peculiar
how the group referred to
could prevent other than
white and gentle from set
Ting when the vast majority
Of the island is owned by the
Government, both Federal and
Municipal, other natives and
Continentals.
If raising livestock and pay
ing the same tax as cultivated
land is considered to be keep
ing land out of production,
then huge areas in the US.
and other parts Of the world
are la the same category. IT
may be well to mention, that
ST. Croix's isolation may be
far less restricting to- ones
point of view than that suf-
fered by some entangled in the
complications Of life IN larger
areas where one hardly knows
his neighbour.
It must be. shown that Mr..
Gordon SkeochS position with
regard to characterization
has been incorrectly publ
cized with no thought Of the
true facts. Agein it Is totally

AS President he can not af-

forget that 1t is to the people he
must look for strength and sup
port and it is their influence he
must constantly bring to bear
upon Congress. He might we'll

There is an example before
him which he could we'll ponder.
Most Republicans don't like to

Roosevelt and his mandates. But
the politically astute among
them still speak admiringly in
private of the way he was able
to rally the people by direct ap-
peal to them over the heads of
the party in Congress and bring
this tremendous pressure to bear
effectively on Congress. This is
not a matter of political philos-
ophy, but of political mechanics;
and much can be learned from
FDR of political mechanics.
President-elect Eisenhower, as a
matter of fact. has a popular
reservoir to tap which is larger
than any ever available to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, even in the lat
ter's most tumultuous triumphs.
The G. O. P. professionals
hope the general will forget
that. 1t is already evident that
they intend to make the party
interest paramount. So far as
Congress is concerned that

Constantine Brown:
Britain Pushes Indian Peace Plan
Europe Anxious to End War Best Foce-Sovng Terms
Leaving u. S. Alone to Worry Over Pacific Defense

The visit of Britain's Foreign
Secretary, Anthony Eden. to
President-elect Eisenhower prior
to his departure for Korea
was closely connected with
Britain's effort to convince
Gen. Eisenhower of the wisdom
of accepting the truce solution
proposed by the Indian govern
ment.
Similarly. much pressure is
being brought now on the
American delegation at the
United Nations to accept the
Indian compromise which was
worked out after weeks of pro-
tracted conversations at New
Delhi between India's Prime
Minister Nehru and the Soviet
and Chinese Ambassadors.
There is no doubt that the
Swiss and Swedish diplomats
who would represent the coun-
tries outside the Iron Curtain
would act strictly in accordance
with the principles Of fair play
and neutrality. But the other
two neutral representatives
from Poland and Czechoslovakia
would merely be voices of Mos
cow and Peiping. Thus for
practical purposes we might
just as well have a Moscow and
Peiping diplomat deciding on
the armistice question.
This composition of the neu-
trail team leads American OBJ
servers to believe that we are
facing another trap as in June,
1851, when Jacob Malik Sug-
geSted armistice conversations.
These talks have given the Reds
time to build up the manpower,
firepower and airpower we are
now facing in Korea. Now, as
then, our allies-and particu-
larly the u. N. diplomats from
Britain. France and India-used
their influence to induce the
American Government to accept
the Malik Suggestion" Now,
as then, we are being told that

and will not become immersed
in the rivalries of the armed
services. Fortunately. he. him
self, has not been identified
with any of them before. He
will give the Defense Depart
ment the business management
it needs and this will make un-
necessary such extra agencies
as an Office Of Defense Produc-
ton if a war emergency de-
velops. Mr.. Wilson knows full
we'll what can be done by mobil-
izing small businesses, and he
knows. also, what the irregular
flow of contracts can mean,
both from the defense stand
point and the national economy.
Small business will get a better
break than ever before. If ever
there was. a time to have a
businessman in charge of de-
fense spending, it is today when
the military appropriations
alone run around $50 billion a
year.
AS for the Department of
State, the announcement that
Mr.. Dulles will take charge
means that worthwhile poll
cies and procedures will be re-
tained, and useless or unwise
policies will be discontinued by q
man who has been inside the
department and knows the score.
Most significant is the man
ner in which Mr.. Dulles intends
to approach his new duties. He
wants to see all the administra-
tive bureaus put in charge of
competent men so he can devote
himself entirely to policy max
ing. His appointment was ia
vorably received in Washington
by many elements, including
church circles. Mr.. Dulles was
for years president of the big
Protestant organization then
known as the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ and he
has a son studying to be a
Catholic priest.
Abroad there is a mixed re-
action to the Dulles appoint
ment. In left-wing Britain and
in Russia he has been pictured
as a kind of "warmonger." But

He is. after all. their Presi-
dent-and he may have to dial
their number. 33,023.304.
AS for the Democratic Party,
1t has a counterpart of the Taft
Republicans in the Southern
conservative wing of that party.
Already. as forecast here a few
days ago. it is moving in to try
to seize control. This was plain
in the announcement by SEN
ator Maybank of South Caro-
lima that the party in Congress
now intends to run party af-
fairs henceforth. He means
the Southern wing which is
dominant in the party in Con-
gress. as he revealed by saying
the party would look to Senator
Russell of Georgia for leader
ship. The nominal leader will be
the younger Senator Lyndon
Johnson of Texas.
The Southern leadership does

In d chilly letter to Warren r.

the Jury never should have asked

find ourselves in a minority in
the U. NJ. and our stubborn
ness" may have disastrous ef-
fects on the world peace organi-
Zation.
It is an open secret that the
governments of London and New
Delhi are anxious to find any
kind of solution to put an end,
even temporarily, to the Korean
war without much concern for
the consequences of Shaky ar
mistice. They are firmly con-
vinced that once a cease-fire is
agreed on, with mild face
saving device for the United
States, peace between the U. N.
and the Reds could be reached
by giving the Chinese Commu-
niSts a place in the U. N. and
eventually giving them sover-
eighty over FormoSa.
Britain and India already
have advocated the seating of
Red China in the U. N. after she
has ceased nominally to be an
aggressor. They have both rec
ognized the Peiping regime and
have broken off all relations with
the NationalistS on Formosa,
which we consider to be China's
legitimate government.
Strategic and self defense
considerations do not worry our
Western allies. They are at this
moment concerned mostly with
trade with the countries behind
the Iron Curtain and especially
with Red China which they con-
slider an admirable outlet for
their commerce. We, on the
other hand, must think in terms
of what can happen to our Pa
cific defenses in the event the
Reds take possession of the
whole of the Korean peninsula
and Formosa.

amicably. He also has the ad-
vantage of experience and ac-
quaintance with the Senate, in
which he served briefly by ap-
pointment of Gov. Dewey.
He represents recognition to
New York though less to Gov.
Dewey personally than would
have been the case several years
ago. Business will be pleased.
Mr.. Dulles law firm represents
the Rockefellers and other big
interests. What probably counted
most was that the general knows
him we'll and has worked with
him in Europe.
Mr.. Wilson, president Of Gen.
eral Motors, is the type of sue
cesSful businessman, competent
in large affairs, that Gen. Eli
senhower admires. Many Army
and Navy men do; they find
such men easy to work with and
very attractive.
A political debt is also in
volved in the naming of Mr..
Wilson. General Motors was
among the important Michigan
concerns-Ford was another
which saw to it that Arthur
Summerfield, Michigan national
committeeman, chose the Eli
senhower side at Chicago.

Defense is obvious. West Of the
Mississippi, Interiors jurisdic-
ton is not as well realized.
Interior administers vast prop
critics, including the great public
power dams. tidelands, and
much coveted grazing areas. All
are the object of intense pres
sure by private interests.
If the three Eisenhower Sec
retaries-designate are not on
the suggested list handed to the
President-elect by Senator Taft,
at least the Senator has nothing
to complain about. Gov. Nc
Kay belongs to the Taft wing
of the party in Oregon. Mr..
Dulles has taken good care to
clear with the Senator from
Ohio and Mr.. Wilson is from
the business community.
What is equally significant
is what the trio aren't. None of
them has openly opposed Sena-
tor Taft in the Senate or from
a vantage point in the Truman
administration. Senator Taft
doesn't heartily dislike any of
them as he does, for example,
Senator Lodge, whose niche in
the Eisenhower administration
is still to be disclosed.

Orderly minds and efficient
operating men can give Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower a great
cabinet. Already the announce
, ment of the three posts of
Secretary of State. Secretary of
. Defense. and Secretary of the
Interior reveal that Mr.. Eisen-
hover is determined to make
efficiency and ability rather than
: politics the prevailing rule.
For John Foster Dulles, as
: pointed out in these dispatches
earlier in the week, is recognized
the world over as an American
statesman with exactly the right
qualifications for Secretary of
State. And Charles E. Wilson,
president of General Motors, is
the very type of man long needed
to head up the greatly expanded
Department of Defense.
~ Just as the late President
Roosevelt turned to the presi-
dent Of General Motors, William
S. Knudsen, in 1941, to head up
the Office of Defense Production.
so Mr.. Eisenhower also turned
: for a somewhat similar post to
the chief executive of the largest
business in the world today.
Mr.. Wilson, of course, like Mr..
Knudsen, will permanently
sever all conneC ions with his
company and devote himself
entirely to his Government po-
sition. The President ELECT has
let it be known on several oc-
casions that he wanted a man
of wide business and produc-
ton experience for Secretary
OF Defense. He sees that vital
Job as not so much a mill
tary one, because the tasks of
military strategy are vested in
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He
= sees the Office of Secretary of
Defense today as involving con-
tract negotiations and appro-
priations of billions of dollars.
. Businessmen have complained
that millions of dollars are
, wasted because Government
officials do not understand the
production operations of Amer
lean industry.
, So, in selecting Mr.. Wilson,
the President-elect has made a

lines. He is primarily a civilian

inaccurate If not deliberately
distorted impressions about Re-
publican leaders that 1t may take
a little while for them to awaken
to the truth, which Is that John
Foster Dulles probably will be
found much more direct and
fortnight and hence more con-
StructiVe than the vacillating
type of diplomat who arouses
hopes abroad only to find them
dashed to the ground by a real
istic reversal by Congress back
in Washington.
Congress likes Mr.. Dulles
both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis say Of him that he is an
American In every sense of the
word and that he has not fallen
victim to the sloppy thinking
which is so often ready to yield
American sovereignty at the
slightest pressure from the
world government school of
thought.
Mr.. Dulles is an international
co-operationiSt who never for
gets that American interests are
most vital to America, and that
collective security doesn't mean
American boys must do all the
fighting in the world while
American dollars flow abroad to
bolster the budgets of foreign
governments. He is a realist
about both Europe and Asia, and
that's the kind of Secretary of
State the American people really
wanted Gen. Eisenhower to pick.
And he did.
The selection of Gov. Mckay
of Oregon to be Secretary of the
Interior-a man familiar with
the vital interests of the West in
reclamation and power projects
is also an application of the
principle that Gen. Eisenhower
is trying to follow in fitting the
right man to the right job.
Now If the President-elect will
select Herbert Brownell as At
torney General-and this seems
likely soon-the second issue Of
the campaign, namely. how to
conduct an efficient, orderly
cleanup of Communist influence
inside our Government. will also
be taken care of in accordance
with the wishes of the majority
of the American electorate.
