NATIVES ARE MAKING GOOD

ACCURATE OR not, every now and again word
comes that a search is on for people to fill key posts IN the
Islands, or that a similar search is on for people whose ser
vices could be used in an advisory. capacity. That there
should be any such search at all is often cause for wonder
ment in this corner.
JUST LAST WEEK people Of these Islands read that
a native, G. James Fleming, had been appointed to member
ship on the Baltimore Equal Employment Opportunity Com
mission, and this brings to mind that there are land perhaps
more than we thinD natives whose. services could be used
to good advantage in these Islands.
IT HAS E said more than once that positions can
not be filled because there are no natives qualified to fill
them. Time. was when those who did the appointing turned
the other way while making the claim, but that claim is SO
wrong, and so completely without merit that to advance it
any more is simply ridiculous,
o rs IT OUR intention to advance the argument
that Others should not be considered or that the question
of native origin should supercede everything else. Nothing
of the sort.
IT IS ALWAYS good to hear that some native. is max
ing good somewhere, and know that he, or she, is taking
his Tor herr place in the life of the community where they
live and work. It would also be good strategy for an appoint
ing officer to be able to point with ~justifiable pride to APP
pointments from this group.
ON MAINLAND there are teachers, physicians,
people trained in business and the law, and other phases Of
learning. And while this is not an attempt to parade what
persons are available individually, it is enough to say that
any statement to the effect that qualified people cannot be
found is inaccurate. Each year the colleges and universities
are turning out trained young people whose services might
well be used.
IT MIGHT BE good if, as a matter Of policy, the adj
ministration would state Tor r~estate) its conviction and posi-
, 1956-11-03

ton in this regard. At least it would tend to remove doubts
that this phase of policy is being given little more than lip
service.
