troops were dispatched to
Little Rock on September Is,
largely because Of the Presi-
dents fear that some Of the
Negro children might be
harmed by q mob. The action
was taken by the President
because Of a belief that the
Governor or the city authors
ties would not take steps ito
prevent violence"
But now so days have
elapsed. What comes next?
Does the Federal Govern
ment now survey the situa-
ton and come forth with the
conclusion that no violence
will occur? Some Of the
leaders Of the Negro groups
are reported in the press to
be fearful that there surely
viii be violence the moment
the military men are with
drawn. limitations are being
given from these sources that
the only way to prevent vio-
lence is to keep a token mill
tary force on duty indefi-
nitely In Little Rock.
What is the legal or con-
stitutional position of these
troops? Much has been said
about "obeying the law Of
the land" and Of ''upholding
the Constitution"
The late Justice jackson,
in an opinion concurring with
a decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States in
1852. dealt with this ques-
ton in connection with the
ruling that President Tru-
man violated the Constitu-
ton by unlawful seizure Of
the steel industry. Justice
Jackson said the Constitu-
ton sets forth this policy:
Congress. not the Execu-
tive, should control utiliza-
ton Of the war power as an
instrument Of domestic pol
icy. Congress, fulfilling that
function. has authorized the
President to use the Army to
enforce certain civil rights"
He then in a footnote cited
the statute that has since
been repealed. Justice jack
son added:
ION the other hand, Con-
gress has forbidden him (the
President) to use the Army
for the purpose Of executing
general laws except when

After the beginning of the

the next.

such a program could work
here in the Virgin Islands. AS
a matter of fact, there is such
a program in ST. Croix among
a group Of 81 young men. This
is financed entirely by them
selves and they do all the
work.
They tell me that a group of
them got serious about the
housing situation about two
years ago. They worked out
plans and began first at the
suggestion Of Arnold Mathews
to help him with the building
of his home.
The group soon obtained 4
acres of land which they di-
vided a M o n G themselves,
drafted plans, and determined
the order in which each house
was to be built. 1t was neces-
sary that the houses be about
the same size so that one set
of forms would suffice.

To obtain loans farmers must
