this city. Her writings APP
peared in this paper over a
period of several years until
about a year ago, under the
caption "a White South

make the prize well worth
contending for. Also, that

the first prize to be award

less than 500 cash to the
contestant earning the most
points.

H
WITH ALL THIS talk Of recessi


WITH ALL THIS talk Of recession, which IS the stage
lust preceding a depression, bolstered BY mounting unem-
pIoyment, perhaps the time has come, this time in earnest,
for local private capital to show its faith IN ST. Groix and its
possibility Of shaking loose from the situation.
WHAT HAS happened over the years is that private
capital has failed completely to assert itself, o. to realize that
money in circulation is worth much more than money put
aside to freeze, at low interest Perhaps reason for this has
been the governments activity il providing practically all
work and employment activity.
TO SPEAK Of private capital making an independent
move IN helping the economic situation is perhaps to create
raised eyebrows in many quarters, but this is because Of
erroneous concepts of the place Of private capital in the.
economic scheme Of things.
THERE OUGHT to be some sort Of a local commission
formed to study the situation and possibilities. Perhaps this.
could Be done through the sponsorship and guidance Of a
responsible group like the Chamber Of Commerce, Such a
study would reveal the many ways in which private enter
prise could assert itself in facing up to the economic situation
and help stave off whatever form of recession OF depression
that might come.
o MIGHT be the time for property owners to paint
up and fix up, for people with ideas to put them to work in
making available funds to worthy enterprises and individuals
Time was when it was difficult to obtain funds, regardless of
how worthy a cause. The reason in part was perhaps fear Of
paign Of back-tothe-land movement. Now might be the time
to take stock Of where we are and where we want to go.
THEN THERE IS another matter Of equal Importance
Fortunately the banks are beginning to see the necessity for
available funds to worthy enterprises and individuals. Time
was when it was difficult to obtain funds, regardless Of how
worthy the cause. The reason in part was perhaps fear of
competition, which at the outset is most faulty thinking.
PRIVATE capital has a challenge. Let Us hope it answers
and measures up to that challenge.
