Inauguration of President-elect
John F. Kennedy.
The Governor said he wants to
have legislation to enable him to

lishment of an Economic Develop

try to meet the objections raised

Herbert ]. Sugden
Comments on Ed.
The Race Is On"

Herbert j. Sugden, one Of st.
Croix's newest citizens, who has
been active in civic affairs since
establishing his home in st. Croix,
is a member of the Democratic
party, He is also president Of the
Caribbean International Invest
ments Corporation, with head
quarters in Frederiksted. Under
date of December 28, 1860 he sent
the following letter to the AVIS,
but due to mechanical difficulty
could not be published before.
It reads:
It was with much interest that
! read your recent editorial of De-
cember 10Th, "The Race Is On"
mentioning several names in con-
nection with the appointment to
the Governorship. You raise the
question of whether or not the of
lice will be filled to satisfy poll
teal patronage. ! am confident
that Mr.. Kennedy will give as
careful attention to this appoint
ment as any other because he is
aware of the fact that the Virgin
Islands can be a sshoWplace of
democracy" and a bridge for inn
proving III relations throughout
the Caribbean, South, and Cen
trail America.
He knows, / a m sure, that #
will require physical vigor, moral
fiber, strong character, ana keen
intelligence to activate and carry
through bold and dynamic action
to meet the challenge faced by
the Virgin Islands.
In my Judgement here are a
few of the areas that government
should take some action on and
in which the Governor can pro-
vide leadership:
l..Extend to the Virgin Island
ers the right TO vote for the Pre-
sident and Vice President in ma
tional elections.
2. Establish a target dale for
granting the right 10 elect our
own Governor.
8. Allow the Virg,n islands to
have a nct1-voins Representa-.
tive in Congress. i
4. Assist the Virgin Islands IN
preparing an Economic Develop
ment Plan.
S. Set up a Water Commission
and appoint members who
would ag~gressivelY tackle the
problem and get it solved.
s. Take action against those of-
lenders descrating these Islands
