IT SEEMS TO US that the solution to the economic
situation will not lie in "get-rich-quick' schemes, or
massive enterprises, but instead upon a number Of
smaller ones, each making its contribution to the total.
Denmark, for example, developed its dairy industry.
Switzerland did the same, but also made its mark in
watches. And the same is true Of the several states of the
Union, each developing its own resources in its own
way.
PERHAPS, AS A been ventured in these CO

could be induced to make certain products here. These

Editorial
OUR OPERATION BOOTSTRAP


OUR OPERATION BCOTSTRAP
IF THESE ISLANDS are to adopt and make the
maximum use of any Operation Bootstrap'' it will have
to start pretty soon, Such a situation calls for a number
Of ingredients, few Of which have yet manifested them
selves.
FIRST, THERE A to be vision. There must be an
idca Of what these Islands can produce in the future, and
regardless Of how fantastic it may seem, these ideas will
have to be accepted ana scrutinized, even if not adopted.
In other words, no idea, however seemingly impractical
and remote should be rejected out Of hand.
SECOND, should be a working group
whose responsibility it is to give time and attention to
these matters. No one executive of the Government can
be expected to perform his other duties and yet come up
with ideas~and follow through on them.
THIRD, ANY development which these Islands can
make must be made in terms of their ability and capa-
bilities. Even Puerto Rico's 1bootstrap' will not work
for us, even though many ideas could be Of great value.
IN THIS DEVELOPMENT scheme, st. Croix could
playa particularly significant role. The Experiment
Station has come up with much valuable information,
including the fact that the wild cherry is high in vitamin
value. Carried several steps further, what, for example,
could be produced from this berry that would sell in
sufficient quantity to bring in revenues? What about
the guava, the guavaberry, the gooseberry, and many,
many others? Can the mango be developed into some
thing worthwhile, over and beyond the fact that they
provide between-meals snacks for school boys in the
country?
COULD THE coconut help in any way? How about
mats and other straw goods from the husk Of the COCO
nut? What are the possibilities Of coconut oil for soap
and other products2 The Virgin Islands is nearer than
Hawaii, can we produce an acceptable quality pineapple
ia sufficient quantity to make the venture pay? Is the

Attempt to Avert

thus forestall q critical fuel oil
shortage.

already was serious. He APP
pointed Assistant Engineer
Commissioners Thomas B.

fuel oil supplies.
Col. Hunter said that unless
the barges move up the Poto-
mac today or tomorrow. it may
be necessary to ration the fuel
tomorrow to maintain an ade-
quate supply for hospitals and
other institutions.
One of the principal suppli-
erS Of commercial fuel oil is the

ard Counts. vice president Of

had been asked to help bring
three barges from Piney Point,

indicated a larger supply of
fuel oil used in home heating
plants. Most home suppliers
said they were able to meet de-
mands in the District. TRANS
