Editorial
GOOD DEBATE

Xxi PEHAPS SO many people in ST. Croix and
the Virgin Islands, we thoroughly enjoyed the verbal
exchanges in The Avis between George Van Ripper and
the Chairman of the Senate, DR.. Aubrey Anduze. The
only trouble with this type of thing is that there is not
enough Of it.
ONE OF THE GRAND verities Of the democratic
system is the right to differ, the right to dissent, the
right to take any point of view SO long as the rights of
others are not impaired. And the browning right Of all
is the right to express that view. It would be simply
wonderful if members Of the community would take the
time and the interest to let their duly elected re
representatives. know what the thinking is, and in what
ways the job Of legisIating could be improved.
THE MERITS OF the debate are not being con
sidered here, important though the questions raised
might be. In fact, it might be but a matter of opinion
as to which phases of the public's business should re-
ceive priority, and in that there is ample opportunity
for the widest divergence of opinion. What is worthy
of note, however, is that the Chairman, DR.. Anduze, is
cutie capable of taking care Of himself in such a situa-
ton, and we think he has done just that, combining his
defense of the legislative program and accomplishments
to the issues, for the most part.
AS FOR MR.. VAN RIPPER, he, too, has taken a
position and stuck with it, and the strength OF his posi-
ton lies in the fact that as a private citizen he has done
more than just sat on the sdelines and pouted. He has
set an excellent example for others to follow, and it is
to be hoped that more of our citizens will have some
thing to say, and say it.
FRANKLY, THERE IS nothing like a good, lively,
verbal scrap, especially where the parties can, for the
most part, c%onfne the discussion to issues that are before
the public, and are OF public concern. Let US have more
