H ST. CROIX AVIS

tOlA AVIS
The effect Of this Bill, if enacted into law, would BET
extend for a period of five years the present Tax Exemp-
ton and Industrial Subsidy Law by amendment to little ~
oil the Virgin Islands Code am firmly convinced that suc41
an extension of the present law would not be in the pubnc
interest.
MY reasons are as follows:
First. the cornerstone of the democratic system OF
government is equal justice under law Any program o.
tax exemption violates this basic principle, IN that it ac-
cords to some respite from the burdens Of taxation, while
leaving these burdens upon the shoulders OF others.
The only reason for establishing a system of tax
exemption program in the first place is where there IS
found to exist a dire economic need for encouraging some
type of new businesses and/or industries. Once this need
snail have been realized and the community finds itself in
a healthy condition economically, there is no further justl-
fcation for perpetuating the attendant inequities.
Secondly. the rate Of growth 81 Of the economy Of the
Virgin Islands at the present time is SO great that it is, in
respects, creating many more problems in the COM
munity than are being solved by our present prosperity
These problems encompass housing, immigration, a limit
ed labor pool, police and traffic, medical and hospitalza-
ton programs, and schooling. a healthy %ommunity must
keep its services in balance. A tax exemption program
tends to throw them out Of balance.
Thirdly. Of just as great Importance as the preceding
considerations is the fact that the present tax exemption
and subsidy program provides for the return Of Federal
income and corporate taxes. We know OF the concern
which this has caused In the Nations Capital where the
Mills Bill isnoW pending before the Congress Of the Unit
ed States. It would, in my opinion, be doing an injustice to
the people of the Virgin Islands to jeopardize the entire
SUBSIDY and industrial incentive program, winch IS now
in effect, by insisting on an arbitrary extension of five
years of the time for filing applications under such q pro-
gram.
There are many attendant sociological, economic, and
political problems that tie in to this question. til my firm
conviction that Bill No. 1141 has such far-reaching impli-
cations for the future welfare of the people OF the Virgin
Islands, that it should not be treated lightly.
"A sounder and more workable program than the pre-
sent one can, / am sure, be worked out by our joint efforts
in the weeks and months ahead. However, Bill No. 1141 is
not the answer.
In view of the foregoing, am obliged to take the ac-
ton stated above, and to return this bill to you.
Sincerely yours,
fCndl Tohn n Morvvin

peace is the important thing
and its proclamation in ger
name to its being made avail
able to the world of people.
"Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith We shall be
able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked" AS
a breastplate protects the up
per section of the person, the
helmet served only to protect
the head, and the shoes the
feet, but the shield could be
used to ward off blows and
missiles aimed at any of these
members of the soldiers body.
The wicked are engaged in
hurting darts with great force
and swiftness at Christians and
unless the latter have faith to
ward them off, casualties are
certain to run high. And
take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God'-
To engage the enemy and de-
stroy him is the main objec-
tive in battle, and it is the
Christians main objective in
this spiritual warfare. There
fore, he needs the sword of
Gods Spirit, which is the
word of God. With Gods
word the Christian has a wea-
pom with which he can attack
the enemy forces of upright
eousness and fight an aggres-
sive war.
CONSTANT PRAYER EN-
JOINED:
Praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereun-
to with all perseverance and
Supplication for all saints
Prayer, watchfulness, and sup
plication, these are vital sup
plementS to the equipment al
ready possessed. To stand
ones ground and to press for
ward. "And for me, that ut
terance may be given unto me,
that l may open my mouth
boldly, to make known the
mystery of the gospeI'-Paul
particularly felt the need of
prayer to strengthen him in
the capacity in which he serv-
ed, for boldnesS and faith we're
necessary to proclaim the Cos
pei under all kinds of adverse
circumstances.
For which l am an ambaS-
SadOr in bonds: that therein
may speak boldly, as l ought to
speak" - Paul at this time
was a prisoner for the sake
of the gospel, but he had no
intention of becoming discour-
aged and giving up, He re-
quested the saints to pray that
he would be given more cour-
age and eloquence to speak the
gospel as he should.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
Be strong in the Lord: 1t is
Gods will that every Christian
shall be strong in the Lord. To
be strong in the Lord means to
employ His power. When the
Christian dwells in the Lord
and the Lord in the Christian,
the strength of the Lord be-
comes his strength. Since God
wills that the Christian shall
be strong in the Lord, the
Christian needs the will to be
strong in the Lord. When the
Christian is strong in his will
to will to do the will of God,
by the Lords will, he will sue
coed.

MEMORY SELECTION -
Be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of his might.-Ep-
hesians 6:10). This key verse
is command and a condition
man must meet if he wills to
be strong in the Lord.
1t is our part to be and this
involves the will. The Lord
provides the armour for the
Christian, and He also will pro-
vide the strength, however, the
Christian is to employ the ar
mour, be courageous, fight, be
willing to endure and suffer.
No matter how well he is
equipped or armed, unless the
Christian puts in action, en-
ployeS the armour, has a good
heart, is possessed with cour-
age, his armour will stand him
little in stead. 1t is in the
strength of the Lord that the
Christian is to walk, go forth
and fight.
FULL CHRISTIAN EQUIP
MENT RECOMMENDED: Fl
nally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord, and in the power
of his might" Finally,
then, or in conclusion to the
whole matter, let everyone to
be empowered by Gods might.
"Put on the whole armour of
God, that We may be able to
stand against the wiles of the
deviP 1t could mean the
armour that God himself
wears, or it could just as well
mean the armour that God
approves and provides for his
people who are engaged in
warfare. We as Christians are
part of the army of God and
must be right. For we
wreStle not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers
of the darkness in high places"
These forces or powers
with which we are contending
are neither physical nor natur-
al, but they are supernatural
powers of great strength, sub
tie, crafty, and powerful.
Wherefore take unto you
the whole armour of God, that
we may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand" We
are obligated for our own pro-
lection to take every possible
step for precaution and pro-
lection in order to be able to
stand against the enemies of
Christ. 1t will not be pos
Sible to do this unless the in
dividual in combat enters full
ly protected with Gods armor
to shield himself from the sub
tie and powerful assaults of
supernatural forces.
THE c H R | S T A N S
SPIRITUAL ARMOR:
stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness"
The breaStplate was in
tended to provide protection
to the greatest area of the hui
man body that was subject to
attack. Therefore the breast
plate was a very vital piece of
equipment and a soldier in
combat without it stood high
chance to be a casualty. Right
eOuSneSS does for the Christian
in his warfare what the breast
plate did for the Greek or RO-
man soldiers, it protects his
most vital parts and offers pro-
lection to the greatest area ex-
posed to danger from evil
forces. "And your feet shod
with the preparation of the
gospel of peace" In the

Mild Recovery
Continues in
Stock Market

NEW YORK, Jan. is (AP).-
The stock market today contin-
ued a mild recovery from it's
recent battering. Trading was
active this afternoon.
Gains of key stocks went
from fractions to about a point
but an increasing number of
losers gave the advance a
patchy look.
The market was ahead mod
erately on a broad front early
in the session as it followed
through on yesterdays recov-
er yfrom six straight sessions
OF sharp decline. Subsequently
the rise lost much of its steam.
Steels reversed their initial
advance and motors backed
away from their best gains.
Nonferrous metals were mostly
lower. Rails and utilities re-
mained on the upside.
Selective gains among chem
icals, electronics, rubbers. drugs
and assorted issues kept the
market higher overall.
Brokers cited typical pre-
weekend caution combined with
the fact that today is the dead
line for an income tax install
ment as reasons for the failure
Of the recovery to be more
vigorous. The general news
background. including auto
production and rail carload
ings, remained bullish.
Corporate bonds were ir-
regular. Government bonds
were unchanged to slightly
higher in slack turnover.
