District Makes
Wine Tax Shift

The District next week plans
to drop the use tax stamps or
wine and champagne.
Starting Wednesday the city
will switch TO a monthly re.
porting system for collecting
the wine tax from local manu-
facturers, wholesalers and some
retailers.
Licensees will be required Ia
report the previous months
wine sales to the finance Office
by the 10th day Of each month
and pay the tax by the 18th
The city may require a cash
deposit from any licensee who
fails TO pay on time. The de-
post. equal to twice his aver
age monthly tax liability, would
be drawn on by the District to
cover any further delinquent
tax bills.
The new system, incorpor-
-ated this week into the Alco-
holic Beverage Control regu-
lations, was ordered by Con-
gress. A similar procedure al
ready is in use for beer.

Soviet power. Nevertheless the
German Federal Republic and
its allies, including the United
States, have risked war. and
stand committed today TO risk
war, rather than surrender
Berlin.
That there is a close rela-
tionship between Formosa and
the offshore islands Is attested
not merely by the Republic Of
China, but 1t is asserted by the
Chinese . Communists. When
all factors, moral and material.
are taken into account, their
defense may not be Invisible.
So the United States is assist
ing the Chinese Nationalist
logistically in their gallant and
inspiring defense of these posi-
tons, And President Essen
hover has in relation to these
Islands made clear that United
States forces may be used more
actively If the Chinese Com
munists push further a mill
tary effort which they them
selves proclaim has Formosa
as its goal.
The stakes involved are not
just some square miles Of real
estate. What is involved, is a
Communist challenge to the
basic principle of peace that
armed force should not be used
for aggression. Upon the OBJ
servance and enforcement of
that principle depends world
order everywhere. Once excep-
tons are begun to be made,
that marks the breakdown Of
the peaceful order sought to
be established by the princi-
pies Of the United Nations.
A Challenge to Us
If the challenge is to world
society in general, it is par
ticularly a challenge to the
United States. If we were to
show indecision or weakness in
the face of this challenge, we
would merely confirm the rulers
Of the Sino-Soviet bloc, the
leaders of communism, in their
hope that by threatening any,
where around them they can
compel submission, or surTen-
der.

The idea back Of the clubs,
Mr., Alcorn explained, Is to
show persons over IS that they
are wanted and can do effec-
tive work in the @. o. P. or
ganization.
Mr.. Alcorn said the primary
goal Of the clubs would be to
help get out voters by using the
telephone. voting lists and mail.
He said a survey had shown
there are is million voters SIS

hearten our free-world friends
and allies in the area and
encourage our enemies to be
more bold and reckless.
We believe that the Soviet
Union. II it wanted to see Q
peaceful solution. could make
that possible. That is why
President Eisenhower in his
letter Of September Is Ia
Chairman Khrushchev sug-
gested that he should urge the
Chinese Communist leaders tc
turn to a policy Of peaceful
settlement in the Formosa area
So far. however, the situation
is a study in contrasts. Let me
briefly portray II:
The United States has a col
lective defense treaty with the
Republic OF China. Pursuant To
this treaty, the United States
has given substantial military
assistance to the Republic OF
China. But it is agreed be-
tween us that the use Of force
by either Of the parties in the
area will be a matter of Joint
agreement. subject to action of
an emergency character which
Is clearly an exercise Of the
inherent right Of self-defense. I"
Pursuant to this ARRANGEMENT
there has been no aggressive or
offensive use of force BY the
United States or by the Re-
public of China against Com
munist China.
Now consider the other side.
The Soviet Union has a treaty
Of alliance with Communist
China. Pursuant to this treaty
it has given vast amounts of
military aid to Communist
China. But instead OF assuring
that this aid shall not be used
for aggressive purposes, the
Soviet Union is aiding and abet-
ting the Chinese Communists in
a use of force against the Re-
public of China to conquer ter.
ritory which the United States
is by treaty obligated to help
to defend. The latest Khrush-
chev letter. the letter rejected
by the President, boosted that
the Chinese Communists, with
Soviet support. would bring
about the expulsion" of the
United States from the entire
FormoSa area.
The world may Judge, from
this contrast. which Of our two
nations serves the cause of
peace and where lies the re-
sponSibility for the danger of
war.
We refuse. however, to be
discouraged. We continue the
challenge Of a peaceful settle
ment, a settlement which would
meet every reasonable demand
Of the situation. That is our
rejoinder to the Communist
challenge Of force. Let us hope
and pray that 1t will be ac-
cepted.

that this is the beginning oi

Now. Of course, the offshore

United States has not been
blind to that fact, nor have we
been unconcerned about it. But
there are other facts also to
which we cannot be blind.
Let us recall that a last phase
Of the ground fighting between
Communists and Nationalist
was a Communist effort to take
Quemoy. This occurred in Octo-
ber. 1949. Communist troops
were landed, but they were

the authority to ~overrule deci-
sions rendered by the Govern

der the present law with respect
to the appointiVe Governor. How
ever, since both the Governor and
Government Comptroller are un-

tary of the Interior, resolution of

likely to be achieved.
In the event H. R. 97O3 is con-

is the sence of that body that the
Office of the Goernment Como
troller is to be retained as an in
dependent instrument of control
over the receipts and expendi-

amendment to section II of the
Revised Organic Act of the Vir-

of appeal to the Governor of de-
cisions rendered, thus tending to
~
separate the Government Comp
troller and his Office from the con-

change in the provisions of sub
section (e) section 20, of the Re-
vised Organic Act requiring the
salary of the Government Comp
troller to be paid by the Govern
ment of the Virgin Islands. If it
is the view of the Congress that
this control could be intrusted to
the Virgin Islands Government,

amended to provide for an insuIar

It is not clear whether the du-

section Z of the proposed bill, are
to be prescribed by the Organic
Act of the Virgin Islands, would
include those requirements in the
Organic Act set forth above, or
whether t h e S e requirements

Your Committee may wish to

Government of the Virgin Islands
with the vesting of supreme exc

legislative power already granted

could be regarded as reposing in
the local Government plenary
power with respect to the appro-

ing the matching funds provided

that we should have an even
number Of candidates from St.
Thomas and st. Croix." Thus
far, ten contestants have been
confirmed and possibly an
ether will be added.
The Chairman also added
that contestants this year will
have no sponsors; the reason
is "the fact that the contest
ants that do no have a good
sponsor are at a great disad-
vantage, and feel, from the
beginning, that thny have no
chances at all. This maks them
lose interest in the contest"
"Since we are not having
sponsors this year, it would be
much easier to get a larger
number Of girls. The girls
ever there would have to
have a gift shop or dress shop,
or even a store that will do
nate the material and a seams
tress, made the dress and in
turn we are going to give
them as much credit as we can
by trying to advertise indirect
the places or persons who are
helping the contestant to get
her outfit. This method has
been much easier here than
on previous occasions, and the
girls like it very much. Moreso
every girl will be a different
individual, as the material Sc
lected is organdy, in pastel
shades, but different formal
style dresses"
Final word was received
yesterday evening by Mrs.
Brodhurst from the Christian
Sted High School. After poll
ing the girls, Miss Lena Abel

teachers, reported that all said
that they were not interestd.
