! am prompted to detail the
above because of my deep regard
for the Island of st. Croix and for
very many Of it's native residents.

All that I am trying to say is
that an editorial calling attention
to mounting land prices is merely
an attempt to have the govern
ment or the Council think about
it and seek ways of trying to
avoid run away prices. Is that a
dangerous thought? And does the
expression of such a thought JUS
tify having an editor accused of
promoting a hate program" or of
Communistic leanings?
No, MI. Van Ripper, your letter
is not well taken. It had been my
hope that most continentals would
by now have seen in the Avis an
honest attempt, if not a spectacu-
lar one, to do the right thing.
Such a letter as yours leaves the
impression that either this effort
has failed or that those who help
support the island will demand
that freedom of expression be cur
tailed. And if there is no quick
detour then the accusation of Com
munism will be hurled, and used
as a method to accomplish an end
not effective by any other method.
feel that you have done a good.
job; that there are those who love
st. Croix and will continue to
work for it. The Avis is thankful
to those people, and particularly
to you for having been the central
figure in establishing a museum.
Publicly this was said, and l re-
peat it here.
If this took long to say / cannot
help, but it seemed to me that az
effort must have been made at
clarifying a situation which could
become most critical, especially
when those accused are thorough
.ly innocent.

UP, it was The Avis who threw oil
on the waters. During this same
period white soldiers were frater-
nizing with native girls and again
groups on the mainland requested
the Secretary of War to withdraw
the soldiers because they were
supposed to be demoralizing local
girls. Again the Avis spoke its
piece. Then there was the time
when groups sought to have DR..
Hoskins dismissed and replaced
by a Negro physician, and the
Avis came to the fore and sup
ported DR.. Hoskins.
Does this sound like a "hate
program? Would anyone inter-
ested in stirring up i'll will against
others embark on a program as
constructive as this? No, Mr.. Van
Ripper, i believe that you are
gravely mistaken, and that fur
ther reflection on this matter will
convince you that the record of
The Avis does not point to even
an inclination towards what you
accuse us of starting.
When the two college students
did work on native relics the Avis
gave editorial credit. When the
Museum was founded, the same
thing happened, and countless
are the times when credit has
been given to continentals for a
job well done. However, does this
mean that there can be no differ
ence? And does an expression of
difference warrant the accusation
of Communism?
It is a matter of common know
ledge that whenever wealthy
people invade a territory they
not only buy what is the material
but they expect and often succeed
in buying the intangible, often to
the sacrifice of a way of life which
prevailed before. And you know
this just as well as ! do. The mere
fact, then, that continentals have
spent thousands of dollars in the
islands does not mean that the ma
tive should surrender everything
which he holds dear. at least with
out letting his feeling be known
in the matter.
Time was when land could be
had for $50 an acre. and enough
bought to provide a livelihood for
a small grower or squatter. To
that man this was his life and
everything connected with it.
With prices going forever higher,
the result can be that most of
the Island will find itself in
the category Of Fifth Avenue

who come and buy for re-
sort purposes that is all well and
good, but what Of the little man

Dear MI. Brodhurst:
II received a copy of theAvis Of
August IA and noted especially
the editorial on "skyrocketing
land prices" Before making any
comments on that subject ! wish
to say that in my opinion the
Editor Of any good newspaper,
whether it be the New York
Times or the st. Croix Avis, oc-
cupies a position Of grave respon-
sibility almost, one might say, a
public trust. Unfortunately some
newspapers, some editors have on
occasion deliberately betrayed
this trust but we are fortunate in
America that these are a relative
" small minority.
Such an editorial as yours OF
August IA is commonly described
here on the mainland as a "hate
program" lie. class VS.. class. It is
the sort frequently appearing-in

that group which have recently,
lie. within the past five years,
come to the island to buy a small
piece Of land and build a home.
In the last five years more than
a million dollars of CONTINENTAL
money has been spent in st. Croix
for land and construction. To
whom did that money flow? Well
in the first place a small portion
of it to the seller of the land. In
my case this amounted to So, 900
hut on top of the land were con-
structed two dwellings which
costs about $4,000. Of this $50, 900
nearly 500 or $4,000 was paid
out in wages to local labor and
the balance went to local mer-
chants for materials. ! think if
you will investigate you will find
the status Of these other "continen
tails somewhat comparable. Each
year in addition my wife and I
spend a substantial sum for local

find it most difficult, in fact i'm
possible to see any connection
whatever, and I believe that a
second thought will place you in
the same position. Why is it that
the moment there is the slightest
point of difference in opinion one
is accused Of Communism? Is it
no longer possible for honest men
to differ? Is intellectual freedom
to be sacrificed because of the
fear that those who would ven
ture freedom Of thought will be
labeled Communist? No, Mr..
Van Ripper, I most certainly do
not see how you could possibly
get the thought that The Avis is
in the least Communist, either in
its approach to local problems or
in its treatment of those problems.
Second, you made the bald ac-
cusation of "h program.
