briefed President Eisenhower

FroWns on
Choice of Alexander
as Governor of vi

The American Virgin Is
lands Civic Association has
written to Senator Hugh But
Ter informing him that it is
disappointing to the natives Of
the Virgin Islands to find that
no effort was made to tho
roughly explore the field in
search of some native to fill
the position Of Governor.
Declaring that Virgin Is
landers can never be convinc-
ed that it was necessary to re-
place Governor de Castro, the
Association said that it proves
that the Virgin Islands people
are victims Of political exped-
iency I'm that the Governor
who has been tried and found
not wanting, must make place
for not only a total stranger
to the islands and their people
but one who apparently has
no knowledge of or exper-
fence in the SCIENCE Of colon
ial government.

Expansion to be
Studied by Conferce

Trade potentialities for Ca
ribbean products figure pro
minently among the various
subjects to be studied at the
trade promotion conference
early next month BY the Carib
bean Commission. Financing
and credit facilities, transpor-
tation and communications &
trade promotion machinery
are the other three items on a
full agenda to be discussed BY
prominent representatives of
both governments and various
commercial concerns, dele
gates from Chambers Of Com
merce and observers from in
t~ernational organizations.
This forthcoming confer
ence has aroused considerable
interest in the area. Aiming
primarily at promoting intra-
regional trade and export
trade from the region, it will
approach the various ques-
tons coming up for discussion
with a view to formulating
practical, rather than theore-
teal, proposals for the expan-
sion of Caribbean trade.
Statistical data and analyses
relating to the Caribbean as a
potential market for Carib-
bean products and the expan-
sion Of existing extra-C arib-
bean markets have been pre-
pared by Allan Morals, Stats
tian Of the Central Secretariat.
