s. TO obtain the extension of the
National Guard Act to the
Virgin Islands.
6) To obtain funds for harbor
dredging in St. Thomas and for
h or improvements IN
st. Croix.
We must continue to press,
with all the vigor and factual sup
port which we can command, for
a new Organic Act which would
provide for the return of the fed
eral internal revenue taxes; a
unicameral legislature with speci-
fed annual sessions, and a Resi-
dent Commissioners in Washing
ton. We must again ask for the
extension of the National Guard
Act to the Virgin Islands. We.
should like to obtain the long
deferred appropriations for har-
Dor dredging in st. Thomas and
for harbor improvements at Chris
tiansted but we know that, be-
cause the national defense effort
needs all the funds for the de-
Tense of our nation and the free
world, these civil works projects
must necessarily be delayed.
We must continue to advance
the interests of the tourist indus
try Of our Islands in every posi-
bic way. We must continue to
press for expanded use Of our ex-
cellent facilities by units of our
Armed Forces.
And, above all, we must con-
tinue to show to the new national
administration that we are willing
and anxious to do everything that
is humanity possible, within the
limits of our own resources, to
support local measures which
would bring the Islands closer to
the goal of self-support. We shall
need the continued assistance of
the federal government in order
to realize our goal Of self-suf1ci-
ency, self-support and self-depen-
dency. But from our people
themselves must come the enter
prise, the hard work, and the
sacrifices which will ensure the
success of our efforts to improve
the economic stability of our Is
lands, with the government fur
nishing the stimulus through the
wise and economical use of ap-
preparations + 0 governmental
operations.
All these things have been and
will continue to be close to- my
heart. I shall never, ] can never,
lose e~interest in them. Long after
I leave Government House, / shall
be thinking of these, your prob
lens, and mine. too.
Good night May God bless
us all

! But the determination of the de-
nomination to take a leading part
in the fight for all mems freedom
had come up in the very first
hour of the meeting.
In the TUESDAY, night public
meeting Bishop Walls had thun

been given freedom and equality

an armed camp; only the adoption
of Christian principles can bring
the peace that all men desire so
ardently."
He scored the Hypocrisy under
which nations processing freedom
for their own citizens help in the
fight to keep their people enslaved.
Referring to the French colonial
struggle in lndonesia, Bishop Walls
said that France must move back
IN lndonesia. The people there
are determined to be free. If the
United States continues to supply
France with guns in the name of
fighting Communism" it is going
to win for itself hatred which
It's people do not deserve"
In the report of Bishop Daniel
{. Pope on condition of the denom-
nations work in West Africa the
same theme was noticed.
The people of Africa are in re-
volt against their oppressors, he
said. THE church cannot play all
roles in such a struggle, but we
