opposed. That, too, is fallacious. And one need go no fur
Their than to point to the fact that Mr.. Merwin, though a
member Of what is usually called GuStifably or other
wisel the Royal Family" enjoyed tremendous popu-
larity at the polls, piling up large p~lura1ities over his
nearest rivals. Who can say, therefore, that in an cleo,
ton, Mr.. Merwin himself might not be the first elected
governor of these Islands?
U DISAPPOINTMENT stems from the fact that
q point of view such as. the Government Secretary
make known to the world amounts to a distinct and un-
Warranted disservice to these Islands. What should we
wait for? When will we be ready? Is it that our people
are SO immature that they cannot possibly think for
themselves enough to elect a suitable governor? Why
should chaos follow? Is there anything in the election
of Senators which even remotely tend to indicate that
Chaos would follow?
ST. CROX ONCE had an Administrator whose
Islands would never mature enough for real %self-gov-
eminent. He told it to Congressional committees, to
individuals, to groups, and it became a sort Of obsession
with him. He was not a native, but Mr.. MerWin is, who
also has the confidence and following of great numbers
of his fellow citizens. The two should therefore be very
different in their views.
FINALLY, MR.. MERWIN is a young man, which
should mean that he would normally be progressive and
would look forward to the day when true self-govern-
ment would come to these Islands. The longer that day
is put off the more difficult it becomes to accomplish the
ultimate fact.
SECRETARY MERWIN sets the timetable to four
years, What will he say then?
, 1958-02-07
WHY CHAOS?

VIEWED FROM N angle, or any of the myriad
standings of political thought to be found in these IS
lands, the statement by Government Secretary John
MerWin to the effect that chaos would follow in the
wake of election of a Governor for these Islands is most
unfortunate, to say the least.
THIS ATTITUDE OF MI. Merwin is particularly
disturbing because both his background and his success
in politics seemed to have indicated a different trend Of
thought. His statement therefore does injustice to both.
IN EVERY STRUGGLE or effort for a fuller
measure Of democracy there are those who view with
deep distrust and grave misgivings anything but the
status quo. During the American Revolution, many colo
nists, content to be loyal subjects of George the Third,
and enjoying their trips to England during which they
hobnobbed with royalty, frowned upon the desires of
their fellow colonists to sever the bonds.
BUT THIS IS a new and different day. Peoples
everywhere want the fullest possible measure of self
government, and the United States, as the leader of the
free world. is likely to want to extend the right to an
elected governor for these Islands. What, therefore,
causes such opposition as Mr.. Merwin projects? The
answer would seem to stem from fear Of two kinds.
FIRST, THERE might be the fear that the right to
elect a governor for these Islands would somehow
-ieopardize either the property or position of those whose
holdings are extensive. For this group, the best bet, and
the most satisfactory security would be for things to re-
main as they are. There is no need to dwell on the fall
lacy of this trend Of thought because it is much too
transparent to warrant any further attention.
SECOND, THERE might be the fear that free cleo
tons for governor and government secretary would
automatically give those Offices to the wrong people,
much to the displeasure and annoyance of those who

WHERE DO WE GO
FROM HERE?

DORBlNS CHIEF OF POLICE,
IN Ernest Hunt submitted his
resignation in writing" to the
Village Board Tuesday night.
1t was read along with the
communications. A roll call vote
was taken and every trustee
voted to accept the resignation
without question. The reason
given by Hunt for resigning
was, "Fore the best interest of
the department" This was the
same reason given by the Pres
ident when he suspended Hunt
a few weeks ago.
This change of heart by the
Chief was surprise move, at
least as far as the general
public was concerned. 1t was
generally felt that the Chief
liked his job and was intending
to try to keep it.

The questions now arise:
Why does he no longer wish
to be Chief? Was his resigna.
ton voluntary or was he pres
sured into resigning? Was he
actually engaged in some sort
of chicanery or was he caught
in a web which was woven by
someone else?
These questions and similar
ones may never be answered
but it is felt that this move
relieved somebody of something.
Chief Hunt is miId-manner-
ed, soft-spoken man who seemed
to be trying hard to do a good
job. He is we'll liked, intelligent
and about as we'll versed in
police procedure as can be
found in the village. He is also
generally respected. But being
a Police Chief in Robbins is
a tricky business at times and
the best of men may leave or
be drawn off the beaten path.
