big BUSINESS CONTROLS
GOVERNMENT DOUGLAS

Springfield, Ill. - Big Business
has assumed control of the govern
ment, Sen. Paul Douglas 3D., Ill.,
told the Illinois State Federation
of Labor's list annual convention.
With LOO delegates present, the
convention was the biggest in his
tory.
Douglas said the power of Big
Business in the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration has been demonstrate
ed by sabotage of former Secre-
tary of Labor Martin Durkin's pro-
gram for revision of the Taft
Hartley Act.
"The new Administration asked
for the votes of the American peo-
pie and later took office with as
surances that reasonable amend
ments would be made in the Taft
Hartley Law" said Douglas.

standard-bearer meant it when he

Christmas 1853

In the little town of Bethlehem 1858 years ago, on
december 25th according to the Christmas Story, a
child was born of the Virgin Mary
Over-shadowlng in many respects the legend of the
miraculous birth is the essential fact that the
birth OF the child called Jesus syboized the birth of
new world idea, new philosophy of life and living; of
peace on earth and goodwill among of earth
The central core of this world idea brought into
being by the birth and life and death of Jesus this new
philosophy of life and living is the fact that all men are
equal in life and death the creative fact of the brother
hood Of man, and the Fatherhood of God.
The most tragic fact of this Christmas 1868 years
after the birth of Jesus that everywhere men deny
the brotherhood OF and the Fatherhood of God,
and while we celebrated the birth of the Prince of
Peace mankind is everywhere frightened by the devlish
instruments of and hate of avarce and greed the
Atom Bomb and the Hydrogen Bomb, born out of pre-
paraton for and the denial of the philosophy of the
Prince of Peace
1t thus appears that mankind everywhere despite
its central has completely lost sight of the meaning
of the life and death of Jesus called Christ the only
foundation upon which to build peace on earth and
goodwill among

Accident Rate
Allow Level

There were only IA injuries for
each million man-hours worked in
factories during the first six
months of 1858, the Labor Depart
ment announced. That equaled the
previous all-time low of January
June 1850.
The figure represented a decline
of four percent below the injury
rate for the same period of 1862.
Industries which recorded "out-
standing decreases" the depart
ment said, were lumber, COM
pressed and liquified gases, steel
foundries and welded and heavy
riveted pipe. Those showing Sub
stantial increases" in injuries were
cutlery and edge tools, hand tools,
fabricated wire products and non
metallic mineral products.

conduct, he has to wait even longer
for his first payment.
All States deny benefits to a
worker actively engaged in a
strike, although two of them pay
after the strike has been in pro-
gress for some time. The maximum
weekly benefit ranges from $40 to
$50. Eleven States pay small adj
ditional amounts to workers with
dependents.
The maximum duration of bene-
fits in year ranges from 16 to
26 weeks. In more than half the
States it is % weeks or more. Be-
cause these States are the more
populous ones, most of the work
ers in the country have a chance
to receive these longer benefits.
To receive benefits the unem
ployed worker must register fo1
work at local public employment
office. He must be able to work and
willing to take any suitable job
available to him. He cannot be re-
quired to accept new work in a
job vacant because of a labor dis
pute, or where the wages and 9TH
er conditions of work are substan-
TALLY less favorable than those pre-
vailing in his community for the
same work. Likewise he cannot, as
condition of the new job, be re-
quired to join a company union or
to resign from or refrain from
joining a regular trade union.
Unemployment insurance pay
ments have been of great help to
those workers to whom they were
available. In 1851, for example,
$40 million in benefits were paid
to more than A million workers,
These payments have also helped
the communities in which the uni
employed workers live, by provide
ing the money with which they
could continue to pay their rent and
buy the necessary food and cloth
ing for themselves and their fami1
lies. Above all, the workers involvl
ed did not have to resort to public
charity and thus become a drain
on the community's resources.

He also attacked the "give-away,
throw-away, sell-away program
which would strip the people of
their resources and their legal pro
tections, and leave them helpless
before the forces of Big Business.
In this connection, he cited the
gift of the nations offshore oil re-
sources to The coastal states, the
sale of the governments synthetic
rubber plants, and the cancellation
of defense contracts held by small
firms.
Everywhere we find the Repub-
leans abandoning the general in
terest and furthering the special
interests of the already rich and
powerful" the Illinoisian charged.
I'm the field of tax policy, we are
discovering new threat to the lit
tie fellow-a national manufacture
ers' sales tax is being seriously
considered ny the Republicans. OBJ
viously they are plagued by Their
promises to maintain our essential
defense programs, cut income and
corporation taxes, and balance the
budget, all at the same time. And
a sales tax, which might possibly
be concealed as a manufacturers
tax, seems to have a great fascina-
ton for the NAM and others who
carry great weight now in Wash
ington. No better means has been
devised to soak the poor and let
the rich off easily.
"Tax changes are needed. In
equities should be removed. Loop
holes for the big taxpayers should
be closed. But | join with Senator
Humphrey in promising that if the
Administration yields again and
advocates this sales tax method of
putting the added tax burden main
ly on the backs of small taxpay-
ers, they will get the battle OF
their lives. And know that in this
fight and in the others to pre-
serve our resources and our legal
projections for all the people, I
will have your wholehearted sup
port. For sales tax by any name
smells as sour"
II want to pay tribute, as Presi-
dent Eisenhower and J. Edgar
Hoover both have done, to the
AFL for its determined and sue
cessful fight against the Com
munist menace" Douglas conclud-
ed.
"The AFL has not only opposed
Communist infiltration, espionage
and sabotage in this country, it also
has opposed Communist aggression
in the world.
ut has been one Of our strong
est allies by helping the free trade
unions Of other countries, assisting
refugees from tyranny, exposing
Communist maneuvers cooperating
on exchange teams, advising MSA
(now FOA) and the State Depart
ment, and solidly backing legisla-
ton to maintain the defenses of
the free world"

Everyone hopes to keep in one
job or another as long as possible,
if merely to insure a livelihood.
But, nobody can be sure of keep
ing the same job during his whole
working life even if he wanted to.
There are two main kinds of I'M
employed persons. One is made up
OF workers who are out of work
until they find another job. These
are able to work, and are seeking
work, but have not yet found it.
The other is; made up Of persons
who are unemployed because of age
or some disability.
Workers with jobs, as we'll as
those without them, want some
feeling of security. When they lose
their jobs they need some form of
support, not only to enable them
to live, but also to allow them to
feel that they belong to the COM
munity in which they live. They
would prefer a job suited to THEN

Fellow Virgin Islanders and
Friends:
It is a pleasure to meet you this
afternoon, and address you on the
theme for this years Current
Challenges to v. I. Leadership"
When 1 received word from the
Professional League, as to the
topic for this years Heritage
Series, / was reminded of these
words, part of a letter, | received
from a friend at home. He wrote
I'VE need men who have the
courage to express the courage of
Of their conviction, and who have
convictions to express. At the
present time, we seem to be
caught in an Intellectual vacuum;
with no intelligent leadership" /
think that when the lack of lead
ership becomes the serious topic
of personal correspondence, the
chances are, that the problem is
serious enough. And so / say, that
today's challenge to ". /. leader
ship, is to lead. To put in differ
emily, / think we can redefine
today's challenge, by posing a
rhetorical question: Why doesn't
today's Native Leadership, lead?
The answer to this question can
not of course be as simple as
stated. What then are some of the
requirements Of leadership? |
think that you will agree, that
leaders must KNOW and UNDER
STAND, the job that has been
undertaken, There must be train
ing and experience; courage and
faith, and perspaeity-these add
UP to a single word, Leadership
Which is to say, that if you lack
any or all of these attributes, you
lack the capacity for effective
leadership.
Should we apply this measure
to Native leadership, how does it
compare? Or, to put it differently,
is it rot true that until we repose
the lob of leading to those pos
sessed aboundantly of these
Qualities you are asking leaders
to do that which they cannot do2

cause he is popular. Our native
leaders must be chosen because
they show the capacity to lead.
Our leaders must be chosen be-
cause ether vision is high. We
must be sure of that.
There are those of course, who
insist that Virgin Islanders, at
home or abroad, lack the capacity
for leadership; and for coopera-
ton with leadership. And some
times, I am almost convinced,
that skeptics are right. To prove
that we know ourselves, and that
they do not know us, we've got
to begin to think and act obiec-
lively. We've got to choose our
leadership wisely, and support it
fully. We've much to do for these,
our island homes, before ~satisfac-
tory progress will be realized and
fully shared by all of us. AS we
plan and work, let us all be sure
that our vision is high enough,
and that it encompasses the
dreams of all of us.
The Virgin Islands Cathedral
I therefore see the Virgin Is
lands where all can work, where
nobody need be wretched; where
the aged dwell in dignity. r see
the Virgin Islands, where slums
and decay are vanished, and all
children are raised in decency and
self respect.
/ see the Virgin Islands, where
men and women have leisure
from toll, with leisure to cultivate
the resources Of their spirits.
see the Virgin Islands, as hori-
IONS Of American hopes. I see
their people ever rising to new
heights of achievements.
This then is the Cathedral of
the Virgin Islands. and our great
design therefor. We shall build it.,
brick by brick. stone by stone; pa
tiently. bravely, p~rayerfully.
To those who say this design
defes our abilities and capacities,
to choose wisely, to lead and to
follow, ! say to act with enthu-
siasm and faith in the condition
of acting in the accents of great
ness indeed. of acting greatly.
This then we can do. This we
must do. This we shall do For.
this is todav's challenge to native
leadership"
, 1953-02-11

these qualities, leadership must
then attack the important prob
lens first. These problems must
be known, analysed, solved and
then applied practically. For it is
a truism, that you cannot solve
problems, unless you know what
the problems are.
Let US illustrate these situations
practically in the Virgin Islands.
Two types of problems require
immediate solution, they are:
economic and political. In the
economic field, tourism plays a
great part. More than fifty percent
of the business comes from tour
ism. But, / as you is it practical
to open doors to tourists as our
only business activity? What hap
pens if the tourist decides to 60
to Latin America? What if he
moves to vacation spots in
Europe? What if he goes to the
Pacific, instead?
In our trade too there is room
for Improvement. The questions I
pose are: Why should over $780,
600 dollars worth of meat be
Shipped from st. Croix to Puerto
Rico, when it can be used in Saint
Thomas? And while / hold no
brief for anyone earning a living,
why should $4,000 worth Of We
getables come from Tortola, and
the neighboring British islands,
when these same produce can be
grown in st. Croix? These show,
that we must help ourselves, by
doing.
Politically, we need u~nification
of the islands Government. We
must be given a free hand and a
chance to show what we can do.
You can't charge the islands with
allure, when we have not been
given a chance to fail. The Virgin
Islands, are not surrounded by
complete leadership. Any thing
done in the islands is still under
he control Of the Department Of
atarior. We favor an elective
Governor now. Responsibility is
learned by doing; not by abstrac-
