GLIM P S E S
THE P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

Captain Villers is either bache-
lor or a very brave man. In either
case. he is an ignorant one as far
as women are concerned. The cap
tain of the twentieth century
"Mayflower" really went out on
the limb in his statement to the
press that there would be no wonl-
en- aboard the replica of the IA
nous English ship when she sails
from England for America in
April. His reason was that modern
women are too Independent, too
hard to handle, for him to have
aboard ship. Seventeenth century
women, he said, were mere "Chat-
tells" and had to take orders.
Ha! Captain Villers had better
read a little history. Maybe the
women were "Chattels" legally,
but when it comes to taking orders
from their men, they were not 50
submissive. Surely no one can pic
ture the women aboard the May
flower in 1920 as meek, submissive
creatures who jumped at the cap
tain's command. The thought of
what they must have endured on
the Atlantic crossing is enough to
make one shudder. The physical
hardships were bad enough. How
much worse must have been the
heartaches of leaving their famil-
lar world for a new life, uncertain
at best. Who does the good captain
suppose nursed the sick and con-
soled the dying on that hazardous
voyage. The "chattels" did those
things, and they didn't depend upon
the men to tell them how to put
up a fight against disease, and
misery. Many a man on that voy-
age probably depended upon the
calm, courageous spirit of a wom-
an to help him face the misery
of the trip and the uncertainty of
a new life.
On second thought, Captain
Villers may not be such a brave
man, even if he doesn't have
wife to make him eat his words.
He concluded his press statement
with the remark that the modern
Mayflower voyage would be diff
cult enough without the problem
of women on board. Difficult?
Ten to one, this ship will be equip
ped with radio, if nothing else
modern. The captain of the original
ship would have felt himself very
safe indeed with such equipment
and the knowledge that other ships
were nearby and could bring help.
Women aboard, indepedent or not,
were just of his minor worries.
Storms, frayed tempers, and
death were among his major ones.
The ship and its voyage consti-
tute a gesture of friendship from
England to America. No one can
deny the importance of friendship
between nations in these days of
international crisis; but in the
light of present events, it seems
that England might have better
use for the men and money the
project involves. 1t also seems that
we need more concrete examples
of England's friendship right now
than a symbol of the past.
One thing is certain, Captain

Most Virgin IslGnds
Employees Exempt
From Hutch Act

O1l1y SIIldll IluInD0T OF en-
ployees in the Government
of the Virgin Island are feder-
al employees, the United
States Civil Service Commits
sion ruled in a letter received
on Saturday, according to the
Home Journal.
The Commission was asked
to rule on the application Of
the Hatch Act when Governor
Gordon asserted that all Vir-
gin Islands employees were
covered by the act which for
bids political activity.
L. V. Meloy, General Coun-
sci for the Commission, wrote
that it was the decision of the
Commission that the Cover
nor and his personal staff, the
Government Comptroller and
his staff, and the Government
Secretary and those members
Of his staff who are paid from
appropriations made directly
by the Congress of the United
States are federal employees.
"All other Territorial officers
and employees are State en-
ployees, and are subject to sec
ton IL of the Hatch Act, but
this section relates only to po-
litical activity in connection
with an election and the pre-
ceding campaign in which the
candidates are to be elected as
representing a party any Of
whose candidates for presiden
tial election received votes in
the asst preceding election at
which presidential electors
were selected.
Mr.. Meloy said: IN other
words, the Hatch Act applies
to political management and
political campaign in the Vir-
gin Islands which involve the
election of candidates who re-
present political parties in the
continental United States,
such as the Democratic and
