]. APPEAL TO THE LEGISLATURE
THE PRESENT SITUATION of stagnation in our gov
eminent brought about BY mistrust, misunderstanding, and
much lack Of cooperation is one out Of which these Islands
NAV not escape unscathed. Nor has there been lack Of ade-
quate warning-from this and many quarters, and the idea Of
introducing a bill in Congress extending independence to
these Islands as a way out has even been suggested.
WHAT HAS BROUGHT about this fmpasseP What lies
at the root Of it all, and how can these Islands escape the in
dicunent before the world Of being 50 frvolously difficult
that any intelligent, sober, or matured approach to problems
become at once impossible?
THE TROUBLE is many-pronged, touching the legisla-
ture, the Administration, and the Department Of the Interior,
all Of which will be dealt with separately.
SENATE seemed to have put these Islands
in most embarrassing and difficult position. Case after case,
example after example, incident after incident, documentary
proof in abundance all point to an attitude which is neither
iustifiabIe nor capable Of sensible explanation. This attitude
has been carried to the point where official Washington is not
only puzzled, but embarrassed for us, and the next step is
certain to be one which may alter the course Of history for
us.
IT is ALREADY said that there is no Governor
born anywhere in these Islands, or anywhere on earth, with
whom our legislature can get along; that we fly in the face Of
all that is ethical and proper, legal and prudent; thatwe have
turned sober and dignifed legislative process into . SHAMELESS
for the apparent sole purpose Of creating q nuisance value
The past session Of the Senate carries many examples Of bills
which any intelligent legislature would realize could not pos
sibly be approved BY any chief executive; that these were
called to the attention Of some Of these legislators whose re-
tort was a uite recognition Of the fact, accompanied with an
adolescent shrug of the shoulder,
ONE REASON FOR suIking and behaving as the legis-
lature does may be the ~displeasre with the Organic Act
Granted that that document was created in 9 spirit Of imita-
ton rather tha none Of fuller rights & that the results are not
entirely satisfactory, yet this is no reason why we should
promptly proceeds to cut off our nose to spite our face: There
is always q right way to do everything and two wrongs do not
make right, cut it as thinlya as we wish.

 Financial and Tax PolicY-Fa- vored an increase of $200 in the present $500 year personal in come tax exemption. This would save low income taxpayers about $40 each year in taxes. It criti- cized Eisenhower administration increases in interest payments on government borrowings, contend ing this policy benefits the few at expense of taxpayers in gen. eral. It promised to reduce the rates.
 General Welfare - Pledged the party to expand and improve So- cial Security and other social welfare programs which 1t claim ed the Democrats fathered. 1t charged that the COP has op- posed proposals to strengthen these programs.

 Civil Rights = Sidestepped en- dorsement of the controversial Supreme Court decision outlaw ing racial segregation in public schools, but pledged the party to advance individual rights and liberties to all Americans. 1t de- clared the party recognized de- cisions of the court to be a part of the law of the land, but de- clined to pledge itself, in so many words, to carry out those de- ciSions.
 Foreign Policy - Charged that American ties with friendly na- tions have been weakened by Eisenhower administration poli- cies of what it called "bluster and bluff" without dynamic action" It claimed also that these policies are increasing the risk of war in the Middle. East.
 The plank promised bold" l,t fn rfr oil Communist countries against ex- pansionist moves of Russia.
 It called for supplying Israel with defensive weapons to offset what it called an arms imbalance in the Middle East caused by Communist munitions supplied to Egypt. And it declared support for the principle of free access to the Suez Canal under suitable in ternational control of the water way.
 Domestic Policy Charged the Eisenhower administration is stunting economic progress and failing to provide prosperity for farmers, small businessmen, low income workers, old people on small pensions and inadequate savings, and young persons seek ing an education. It asserted also the administration is using public revenue to benefit the few" It
