was proposing my usual remedy
to the people on the project of
political parties, which deals with
the political process in free So
ciety. P TT i p n was my
Watchword Get out the vote. Or,
as the Advertising Council has
it, Vote as You Please, but Please
Vote. My associates indicated to
me that getting people out to
vote when they did not know
what they were voting for was
not helpful, and might be harm
full, to the objects I had in view.
Under modern conditions, they
said, it might be that responsible
political participation and deci-
sion by the citizens would prove
to be impossible, anyway.
Somewhat shaken, | went to
the conference on the Island of
Rhodes on Representative Gov
eminent and Public Liberties in
the New States. The basic prob
lem of the conference turned out
to be whether government by the
people is possible, or even desir-
able, in the modern world. The
sense of relief with which men,
bers from the new states well
coined military dictatorship in
their countries and with which
the Frenchmen present welcomed
de Gaulle was a measure of the
current disenchantment with de-
mocracy. These men saw no way
of adjusting democratic institu
tons to contemporary realities.
What they hope for is period
of order in which the most acute
problems, like Algeria in France
and corruption in Siam, may be
solved; after which they may, or
may not, try government by the
people again.
Eminent European philosophers
and political scientists present
treasured the members from the
new states, three of-sWhose gov
@ernmentS turned into military
relationships while the confer
ence was in session, by telling
them that democracy was an illu-
sion in both old and new states,
for different reasons. In the new
states we could not expect gov
eminent by the people because
they lacked education, commun-
ication, organization and law. In
the old states it had been out of
date since the Peloponnesian
War, and even then it was not
what we mean by democracy
now. Pericles, a leader of the
Left, struck thousands of voters
from the rolls because they could
not prove that both their parents
were native born Athenians.
Greed democracy was based on
a uniformity of ideas and prac-
tees appropriate to an extended
family group. The kind of gov
eminent by the people that may
be said to have worked in Athens
and in the New England town
meeting could not possibly work
in a large, heterogeneous, indus
trial, bureaucratic society. T h e
most we could hope for was or
der, efficiency, and the mainte-
nance of civil liberties, those
rights historically carved out
against governmental interfer-
ence with private life. Alexander
Pope, whose celebrated lines had
always seemed to me as false as
they were celebrated, was justi-
fled at last:
For forms of government let
fools contest;
Whate'er is best administered
is best"
/ came away from Rhodes with
the foreboding that we might be
at the beginning Of something
new in the last hundred years

trend that had little or nothing

seductions of the Kremlin ut

OUR INSECT FOES"

Insects each year do billions Of dollars worth Of damage
in the United States alone. In addition, they contri-
butte to the sickness or death Of thousands of people. Insects
live almost everywhere, and they are probably the most nu-
merous OF all animals. Three out Of every four species Of liv-
ing animals on earth today are insects. OF the almost one
million different kinds of insects found on earth about 10000
are economic pests. This 10000 species do harm far out Of pro-
portion to their apparently small number. Quite a few Of the
10000 are found in the Virgin Islands, where they have vary
ing effect5 upon our economy.
Among the most prominent Of our agricultural pests are
the whit, fuzzy mealy bugs which attack many kinds of
plants, the tiny scale insects which suck plant juices, the
sugarcane borers and weevils which cut down sugar produc-
ION, and the army-worm which chews the leaves off plants,
and many kinds Of true bugs including the green stink bugs
which suck the juices from plants.
One of the aims of the Virgin Islands Agricultural Pro.
gram is to find ways to combat insects 50 that we can show
you how to fight them yourselves. Insects may be fought with
sprays, by importing predator insects that will kill and eat
our local pests, by planting insect-resstant crops, by improv-|
ing tillage practices, and finally BY crop rotation.
An entomologst has recently joined the staff Of the Agri-
cultural Station and is available to help you in your fight
