r THINGS FIRST

FIRST THINGS FIRST
WHILE MATTERS r fairly calm out this way as to
the Covernorship, the pot continues to boil on the mainland,
as a Texas Gilman, a Tennessee fnancier, two retired Army
Generals and retired Admiral jostle for position.
TIME HAS come when the people of these Islands
must stop long enough to look themselves in the eye and de-
eide whether they want to live forever as the pawns in the
hands of other people, or whether they want to demand that
they be given the respect due them as a political entity. And
perhaps the time is here when we should make our voice
heard enough to let people know what we are thinking.
WE BELIEVE THAT a native should be appointed Gov
ernor. There are men whose education, preparation and en-
perience qualify them admirably for the job, and these should
be given prime consideration. This is not to say that a man
should be appointed governor just because he is a native, but
where there is native who has the qualifications, then the
balance should weigh in his favor.
ABSENT A NATIVE, then a colored American of dis
tinction and qualification should stand the best chance. Let
us hasten to explain that we oppose patronage merely on the
basis of color, but if democracy is to work, then this is the
place, and a governor whose background and interests will
give greatest consideration to the Islands would seem to US
to bring something more to the position than any other.
THERE is danger in appointing to the position
a man whose only interest either in the job or the Islands is
to enjoy the prestige, the warmth of the sun and the scenic
beauty Of the Islands while getting paid. In other words-a
paid vacation. Usually this type of appointee has his sights
fixed on other horizons while he uses these shores to help
him prolong life and whet his appetite for one last fling at
personal power.
THE PRESIDENT of the United States should make the
appointment with the welfare Of the Virgin Islands in mind,
allowing all other considerations to be secondary. And if he
does this, then the order in which his appointments would
come is that suggested here.
