Where Is our Superior Strength?
The argument about our Defense
potential boils down to this. Critics
of the Eisenhower Administration
particularly certain candidates
for the PrcsidoRcy-say that there
lis a missile lag. and they base
This on the accepted fact that the
u. S. $. r. is producing more in
tercontinental missiles ICBM'sl
than we are; defenders of the Ad-
ministration, on the other hand.
answer that missiles aren't every
thing. that our overall strength is
superior and our overall deterrent
power is adequate.
If the ICBM were the only
means of delivering a nuclear war
head. the criticism would be i'm
portant. The ICBM is not the only
means. SO long as our other means
are effective, the prospect that
the Russians will Outbuild us in
IICBM's is no cause for alarm.
Matching missile for missile is
not necessary. In fact whether
iRussias advantage in ICBM's will
be four to one. or two to one, or
less, is not important. The overall
potential is what counts.
Our retaliatOry capacity is great.
The enemy would have to reckon
with our manned bombers of the
Strategic Air Command with its
100 bases. with our tactical air
forces depioycd overseas with the
might of our Navy carriers, with
the Polaris submarines, and with
the Army's missiles. Our overall
strength includes such solid things
as foreign agreements on mutual
security, bases on foreign soil and
production capacity. Our industrial
might. which has been power
full arm in two world wars. must
be taken into consideration; feel
that no contender can prevail
without industrial superiority
and we have that
We arc talking about material
things. Spiritual values, too, are or
our side. Impregnable strength
lies within the heart of Americans
We have an abiding faith that the
right will survive If we could not
hold to this then all history ano
all philosophy would have taught
us nothing and life would have
no meaning.

THE Civic" a monthly
publication Of the Ameri-
can Virgin Islands Civic
Association, headed by Ash
ley +. Totten, who is also
international secretary
treasurer Of the Brother
hood Of Sleeping Car Port
ers, said in its September
issue that Virgin Islands
young women are "concu-
bines for continentals."
Under the column, Things
We Didn't Know Until
Now" the columnist with
out a by-line continued his
observation, that parents
proudly approve + h e ] r
daughters for the stran-
gers, ''but would raise holy
hell if one Of the girls de-
eide to marry a native who
is not a mulatto."
The American Virgin Is
lands Unity Council which
censured Totten recently in
a resolution for his sabo-
tage Of Governor Merwin's
public meeting at t h e
Metropolitan Community
Methodist Church in New
York, wrote The Women's
League to rally parents,
sons and daughters, and
protest the scurrilous at
tack Of THE Civic for
which Totten must be held
responsible.
The AVIUC's letter to
TWL reads as follows:
"The American Virgin Is
