West Pleads for Unity
AS Red Cross Ends
International Meetinq
By the Associoied Press

TORONTO, Aug. 8.-Red Cross
workers from all over the world
started home today after an 18th
international conference plagued
by daily East-West conflict but
ending in repeated Western pleas
for unity.
The delegates Of the Communist
countries-China. Russia and her
Satellites-were silent at yester-
days closing sessions as Western
speakers appealed for mainten-
ance of the Red Cross as a symbol
of mercy throughout the world.
1t was not felt. however. that
this ,last-minute Red silence
presaged a Communist walkout.
Andre Francois-Poncet, French
chairman of the organizations
general commission, told newsmen
that Russia, at least, was not
thinking of withdrawing from the
Red Cross.
Does Not Regret Battles.
Speaking at a press conference
yesterday, Mr.. Francois Poncet
said he did not regret the con-
ference battles.
1T is sounder to expose and
bring it out" he declared. Every
one knows what the other is
thinking. 1t is a good thing they
(the Communist) had an occa-
sion to bring it freely to the ros-
trum."
The strongest unity appeal came
from the Countess of Limerick.
vice chairman of the British Red
Cross, who told the closing con-
ference session, Men of good will
should unite in the service of
humanity no matter what differ
ences of politics. religion or ma
t1onality might divide them"
The EaSt-West battles, climaxed
with the continued repetition of
Communist charges that the
United Nations have waged germ
warfare in Korea. began almost
as soon as the three-week meet
ing got underway.
Reds Fight Losing Battle.
Shortly after formal opening
ceremonies, Russia and Red China
fought losing battle through five
separate ballots to bar West Ger
many from the league Of Red
Cross societies. Ceylon and San
Marino, the tiny Communist-ruled
republic entirely surrounded by
Italy. were admitted without op-
position.
The next Red attack came with
charges that Western occupation
officials had refused to repatriate
Russian children from their zones
in Germany. The governors of
the Red Cross league voted down
a Soviet resolution Incorporating
the charges after British and
American spokesmen said they
were old and false.

VOTERS SHOULD SHOW INTEREST

VOTERS SHOULD SHOW INTEREST
APATHY OF the people of the Virgin Islands COM
munitieS is astounding to the visitor who is not familiar with
the customs and traditions of our people. Although
we clamor for greater sel-government we do not make maxi
mum use of that which we now enjoy.
IN FIRST place hardly half Of the people of the
Virgin Islands who are eligible to vote take the trouble to
show up at the polls on election day. Little interest is mani
tested in the most vital issues of the moment. The most popu-
lar candidate appears to be the one most skilled in the the use
Of invective, vinifcation, character assassination and amusing
the electorate with what is known locally as melee" The
serious-mnded individual who seeks to wage a campaign on
the highest level and with blind devotion to public issues
which he considers paramount finds the odds heavily against
him. Perhaps the same condition prevails in other commune
ties. But since we are striving to attain greater autonomy we,
should attempt to establish a more favorable record.
TIE Al OF public interest and concern is reflected
in other important duties. The last few sessions of the lnSular
Legislature have been of the u tmost significance, but they
have drawn practically not a single spectator. Some months
ago when the Legislature was in session for fortyfou days
not more than half a dozen persons, excluding school children,
watched the deliberations.
II GOES saying that where public interest
is highest there is more efficient, responsive and effective gov
eminent. Frequently officials take chances and believe they
can get away with them because the people are 50 numbed BY
inertia and complacency. If the people would only demon
strate that they are watching what is taking place in their
government there would surely be a change for the better.
WE DO o have to wait until election to prove that
we are alert and responsible citizens. e may write letters to
the newspapers, Join organizations, civic o. political and ID
other ways express our views on the activities Of our govern,
ment. When a people are intelligent, informed, wide awake
and alert democracy can never fail I

Actually there are two kinds
