KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY WARREN BROWN.
Continued from page y

Watching the conduct Of Unity Party leaders and Sena-
tors during the past two years, I can only say that am
prouder than ever to be a member Of Virgin Islands Unity
PARTY. Now it is time to take stock Of our Partys position
in a time Of tension abroad and and confusion at home.
The great need Of our time is for more men and women
who. being properly equipped to perform the tasks upon
which the maintenance Of our society depends, bring to
those tasks and to their role as citizens a high sense OF per
sonal morality and individual responsibility.
Amid the confusion and uncertainty brought on by
alarming fnefficiency in the administration Of government
waste and extragavance in spending the peoples treasure
more and more Of our citizens are throwing up their hands,
closing their minds and seeking solace in mental escape from
the problem Of our time. This tendency cannot fail to destroy
our basic freedom.
We must remember that it is still individual action that
really counts, that we have the right-in fact, the duty--as c-
tizens to do our own thinking, to make our own decisions
and to act independently on our own initiative 50 long as our
acts do not imperil the rights of others. Ns6I
Such a process is not always popular, seldom easy and
sometimes personally detrimental, ! know, because I've had
the experience. But if we continue to shirk our personal res
possibility by permitting group thinking to substitute for in
dividual thinking, if we continue to go along with the crowd
which advocates a course of action forselfish reasons, we will
end up with nothing better than mass mediocre decisions
And these decisions will fall far short Of what our own vel
fare demands.
It is important that Virgin Islands Unity Party cherish
this quality Of individuality in its leaders and in its members
1t is essential that it not become the tool Of any group, but
that It remain wholly honest and free to speak the truth
wherever it may leave.
Perhaps tits unnecessary here toindict the present adj
ministration and its Senators in the Legislature who blindly
support ali its tragic plumbers. For that indictment has alrea-
dy found full expression in the resentments which have pour
ed from the hearts Of the people Of the Virgin Islands, from

In an editorial announcing its
decision, the newspaper today
said:
