thor writes a book, a best sell
Ter. While his imagination was
at work, men were working
months and years ahead of his
book coming off the press.
Men in the forests had been
cutting down trees, other men
in paper mills took those trees,
made them into pulp and then
into paper. Other men trans
ported the paper from mill to
printing plant. While this was
being done, still other workers
were digging in the ground,
mining lead for the type; still
others were making the ink.
Finally linotype or mono
type operators set the type on
machines made by other men,
and pressmen ran the book
pages off presses that had been
made by still other mechanics.
All of these men were put to
work through the imagination
of but one man, the author of
the book. Even with the print
ing of the book, the author was
not finished putting people to
work. Men transported the
books to the bookstores of the
nation where sales clerks were
employed in the selling of the
book.
1t takes far more magma
ton to create and conduct a
successful business than to
write a best seller. AS in the
case of writing a book, most
of the work which enters into
any manufactured product is
planned months, sometimes
years ahead of the day the fin
ished article rolls off the as
sembly line. Since it cost about
$4,000 for plant and machin-
cry to put one employee to
work, new wealth must be
created constantly, else there
can be no new jobs or a rising
standard of living. In recent
years, high taxes on corporate
earnings and a second tax on
dividends paid to stockholders
have been deterrent factors to
new investment in industry.
This can only end in disaster to
our economy if long continued.
One of the important func-
tions of business is to create
new wealth (more seed-corn),
by increasing production Gin
creasing the yield per acre.,
by building new plants Cad
ditional acres). That and that
alone gives more permanent
jobs and an increasingly higher
standard of living.
At the present time we are
eating our Seed-corn. If this
process is continued the day
inevitably will come when we
will not have enough left to
plant the acres already under
cultivation, and with fewer
acres planted, our standard Of
living will take severe tum-
BILE.
Through the Soil Conserva-
ton Service, the u. S. Govern
ment is teaching farmers how
to protect and refurbish their
soil so that farm production
will not fall, but rise in order
to take care Of our ever-in-
creasing population. We need
no such agency for industry,
but Congress should see to it
that taxes are not so excess
sive as to discourage invest
ment Of savings in industry
and business.
The flow of new capital into
industry must be increased
the using up of present capital
must be discouraged else we
will live to see the unhappy
time when there will not be
sufficient capital to keep the
wheels of industry moving at
full speed. Only by giving
capital an opportunity to earn
a profit commensurate with
risk involved, can new venture
money be lured into taking
the chance of backing new en-
terprises and expanding old

ment.
The attraction of new industry
is not an automatic process. If
we are to have the new jobs and
new prosperity in the area, local
team work is even more neces-
sary now than in the past. Not
able achievements in this regard
have already been made and it
has been a pleasure for me to
work with these local groups and
organizations which are seeking
SO earnestly to better the econo-
mics of our counties.

SECTION 3. () The Virgin Islands Land Authority,

partment Of Labor and Agriculture for administrative

hereinafter referred to as the Authority, is hereby desig-
mated as a body corporate and polite constituting a pub
lie corporation and governmental fundamentally of the
Government Of the Virgin Islands.
() The Authority shall consist of seven C) citizens
who, in addition to other qualifications, profess belief in
the wisdom and urgency Of this Act and who are bona
fide residents of the Virgin Islands for not less than five

Islands and the CONSTRUCTION of adeq0ate iaInlly homes.
() There is an urgent need for the improvement
Of housing facilities in the Virgin Islands. In addition to
public housing, the construction of adequate and decent
individual family homes is necessary for the social we'll
being and economic growth CT the Virgin Islands and
thcir people. Little progress has been raaae in this direc-
ton because of the unavailability Of land for building
homes. The construction of homes by families who are
financially able to do so will be conducive to the COM
munity's prosperity, and will tend to increase the reve-
nues Of the government.
() Vigorous and immediate action should be taken
to assist in the creation of new land and home-owners,
facilitate the utilization Of land for the best public bene-
fit under efficient and economic production plans, pro-
vide the means for resident families to acquire parcels
Of land on which to build their homes, and provide for
the most efficient and economic enjoyment Of land by
the people of the Virgin Islands. Lands for theepurpose
stated above are hereby declared to be a public use.

iect called for improvement Of

and Bel-Pre Farms subdivisions.
estimated to cost $38, $50.
Mixed Reactions
There were mixed reactions to
the proposal during a hearing
which lasted for nearly an hour
and half, with the majority
opposing it because of the high
assessments which would re-
suit. The council agreed to leave
it's files open for five more days
to receive additional views and
comments.
Appointment of a former
United States Secret Service
agent as special investigator
for the States Attorney Office
was approved by the council. He
is James Patrick Welsh, SO, of
2604 Sheraton street, Silver
Spring. The new post will carry
an annual salary of $4,000.
Mr.. Welsh, the council was
told, is giving up his own private
investigative agency in Silver
Spring to take the assignment.
He was with the Secret Service
from February, l94l, to July,
1858, serving under three differ
ent Presidents. He previously had
been police chief in Doylestown,
Pa. for IL years and before that
