~SUBSIDIZING TOURISM

-
NOT LONG AGO The Isl. Thomas) Daily News adj
vanced a sound idea which should challenge the imagination
Of the Administration to the point where something is done
about it The suggestion was that the government subsidize
the tourist trade, at least until it was on such q footing that
private enterprise could carry on.
TOURIST TRADE is the number one source Of
income for ST. Thomas, and the number two for ST. Croix
What else, then, is necessary to point up the importance OF
this trader 1t would seem as if the only question involved
in any discussion of development Of the tourist trade is now
soon to begin.
IN d TO get maximum results from the tourist
trade, that is, have it pay in such terms that the great bulk
Of our financial problems are solved, II should be 50 develop
ed that more planes are scheduled, many more tourist trips
are included ii winter cruises, and throughout the entire year
there is a constant stream of tourists heading in this direc-
ton. That IS what Florida did. That is what we must do.
d IN to enjoy this type Of program there
must be the most concentrated and effective publicity posi-
Bic. People must know where We are, what we do, what we
offer, and what the tourist can get by coming to these shores
tovacation. And this is done, as the Daily News suggested,
by placing the matte. in the hands Of 4 large public relations
firm.
THE QUESTION of government subsidy enters because
the type Of publicity envisioned for maximum results.would
call for expenditures considerably beyond what private en-
terprise, as it now stands, can effectively handle. Should the
Government, therefore, undertake to lead in this direction,
then after the program was well on its way, and private bust
ness had gained strength through this improved tourist trade,
it would be simply a matter Of transferring leadership and
actual management to private enterprise, where It rightfully
belongs.

tant part Of the income which helps to Develop SO much that
IS needed there. For example, the Government Of Haiti keeps
! full-thme staff in swank offices in Rockefeller Center tor
the sole purpose Of publicity and public relations, Haitian
arts and crafts are on constant display, the climate and other
conditions remain constantly before the American reading
public, and public relations is excellent.
NO MANY YEARS ago when Madame Magloire, wife
Of Haitis president stopped off in New York on her way
home from Paris, she received a number Of receptions, was
the official guest Of the City, and, since the groundwork had
already been laid BY the New York public relations office,
Haiti received a tremendous boost At one reception in g
down town hotel, Madame Magliore was honored guest at q
reception attended BY Cardinal speIlman and former Post
master General James Al Farley.
THE ADMINISTRATION would do well to give some
thought to this matter, sit with local businessmen, big and
little, and null over a plan which would assure the best pos
sible success from the tourist trade. The weather is here, the
scenery IS here, facilities are here. It is up to us to. make
these inviting to an eyerancreasing number Of tourists

ment Association last night.
Meeting in the Community
Room of the Washington Post

The resolution urged that "ir-
revocable decisions to abandon

until it can be decided by coms
|petent engineering and economic
surveys whether portions thereof
can contribute to the develop
|ment Of the rapid-transit system
