FINALLY, THERE WAS no planning group respon-
sible for the economic development Of the Virgin Is
lands. This paper has harped on the necessity for such
"a group, group WhichIwould function locally much as
the National Resources Planning Board functions on the
national level. It would provide acontinuity Of purpose
and programs, and bring together the countless loose
ends of effort.
MUCH AS THE situation may seem unfortunate,
two hard, cold facts remain: ~ continentals and others
who have used what is here to good advantage are by no
means TO blame; and 81 natives have no one to blame
but themselves. We cannot, therefore, continue to grippe,
or to express displeasure at those who have done what
we did not want to do.
THERE is AN answer to the situation which lies in
a new, and different approach to the local situation, a
matter which calls for fuller, more detailed discussion
at some future date.

WE CANNOT BLAME OTHERS

EVERY NOW AND again some super patriotic in
dividual undertakes to lament the fact that continentals
and others are taking over st. Croix and the. Virgin Is
lands, lock, stock, and barrel. The motive, lofty though
it may be, lacks a basic understanding of the underlying
situation-what it is, how it came about, and even what
to do about it.
LOOKING THE situation squarely in the face, there
is no doubt whatever that much of the choicest land is
now in the possession Of continentals and Puerto Ricans,
and that applies for town property as well, and even
going further, that same situation applies to business
on the whole. That this is the fact, no one can deny. But
what is the reason for it? How did it come about?
IF NATIVES DO not have the lion share Of the
economic wealth of these Islands they have only them
selves to blame. Going way back into the twenties, ma
tives thought only in terms of getting out as fast as they
could. They felt hat there was little opportunity for
them in their own home, and they did not hesitate to
leave in large numbers, often never returning.
FURTHER, THOSE WHO did stay, were content
to exc out a living on whatever land they had, or what
ever marginal business they controlled. There was little
or no vision, and the desire to expand, or even keep pace
with time seemed nonexistent. Here, however, was
where leadership and vision operated in a total vacuum.
Had there been good, sound, constructive, progressive
leadership in these times the conditions which brought
about the need to dispose Of land and other property
would never have come about.
NOR WAS THE Government any help whatever.
In the hands Of retired Naval officers whose knowledge
or, concerns with, things political and civic were negli-
gible, the Islands foundered. Native leadership, limited
though it was, further restricted itself by becoming en-
crossed in a labyrinth Of trivia. Endless hours Of the
legislature Of that time went by in arguments about alb
solutely nothing It was a modern version Of Rome
