WE Dc nor know if in the history Of the Y

WE DO NOT know if in the history of the Virgin Is
lands, even under the Navy administration, any chief execu-
tive enjoyed such complete lack Of popularity and support,
moral or otherwise, in so short a time. The amazing thing
to US is that Governor Alexander could possibly have failed
to see the handwriting on the wall months ago, and done
something to arrest this ground swell Of dissatisfaction, lack
of confidence, and loss of admiration and prestige.

Editorial
GOVERNORS ALTERNATIVE

INOAt
THERE CAN BE no escaping the fact, the topic on
everybodys lips these days is the startling behavior of the
Governor Of the Virgin Islands. The press is full Of it, people
everywhere are talking, and even the national newspaper
comments, as Roy P. Gordon, National Republican Commit
teeman pointed out last night in his talk over VISTA in the
series 4 Cover the Waterfront" Both Democratic and Repub-
lican local leaders are dissatisfied and seek the Governors
recall
AT THE MOMENT the Governor is faced with two
alternatives-he can stop all this momentum in its tracks by
resigning, or he can persist, holding out as long as possible.
A word about each Of these would be revealing
SHOULD THE Governor resign, he eould, with one
step, cut off everything that has been done and or will be
said Or done. Of course, things will slow down temporarily
while another governor is sought, but at least the hopes Of
the people Of the Virgin Islands for more efficient govern
ment8would remain kindled. On the other hand, if the Cover
nor does not resign, then many words, much effort, great
dissatisfaction, and above all, everything wlEseen not only to
slow down or stop, but to move backward, as all factions
continue to spend time and energy in telling their problems
to the American people and the world.
SHOULD THE Governor decide to stick it out, he
would more than likely receive some administration backing
If for no other reason than that all hands would be hesitant
to admit failure in just one short year. But the crecendo OF
cries for removal the constant pressure, the incessant pub
Icity and work, here and on the mainland, would reach such
a pitch that things would seem to stop, and the zest and IN
teret in government would suffer severely.
ON THIS LATTER alternative, the national government
would be faced with trying to turn a deaf ear to the constant
cries, petitions, resolutions, and writings in the press, and
certainly one day something will be done, and that something
would be removal But by that time the national administra-
ton will have had its face redeemed as defiance would grow
from both sides, and the good relations break down COM

Even in this area, where
women are colonies, where one
is in the cabinet and others
help run the country. Mrs. Ber-
nice M. Mcpherson is still a
standout.
At l03 pounds and an inch
under feet, Mrs. MCPHERSON
must be one of the tiniest con-
struction bosses anywhere. And
there appears little doubt she is
the lone distaff operator in her
particular field, that of president,
majority stakeholder, founder
and top hand in a welding and
iron works firm.
Between tricks at the torch
she can rustic up a mean job at
that more typically feminine
instrument, the kitchen range.

Tack? How does a welder
tack?
"A tack" said Mrs. McPher-
son, "is a temporary weld. It's
like basting threads in sewing"
At home, out of dungarees and
back in a skirt, Mrs. Mcpherson

She started B. & M. as a
one-woman outfit in 1914. Now
it has 16 employees, and puts up

welder's shield.
Mrs. Mcpherson first welded
when she was 7 years old. She
admits that was a while back.
Her family's firm employed a
blacksmith who used oxyacetlyne

with welding.
