INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
IF THESE ISLANDS are to move forw,

IF THESE ISLANDS are to move forward at the pace
we expect and want, industry must be developed to its fullest
Tourism is not enough, nor should it be the only source Of
income for US because of the danger of having all ones eggs
in one basket. Tounsm also has certain disadvantages, one
of which is the danger of creeping discrimination, a cancer
which should never curse these shores.
SINCE THERE are few natural resources, such as coal
gas, oil, etc. we must look around to what we have, and
make the most OF it, Also, because of our size, great guam.
titles may not be produced. But this can be offset by a variety
of projects, the total of which could be considerable, produc-
ing employment for our people, and income for our treasury
AMONG III products which could be made here are
coconut straw mats, coconut oil, and other articles made of
stravt mahogany furniture and articles, such as make good
gifts; and products Of other local woods. And what about the
many products coming from such plants as the local cherry
the sweet lime, dyes and the hike. Then, too, there is the
possibility of attracting American industries which might find
it profitable to manufacture goods here. With taxfree in.
ducement, a labor market and transportation facilities, in
dustries might be encouraged to come to these Islands.
WITH HOTEL and guest houses using food of fine
quality and in great amounts we should produce all the meats
necessary = steaks, chops, roasts, of every kind We have the
land, and by this time feed for these animals should have
been developed to a stage Of near perfection. And the same
is true fol-, chickens, and eggs, all Of which should be produced
right in these Islands.
w DO NOT KNOW of any reports available to the
public, but the Department of Agriculture, & that of Industry,
could provide figures from. their studies. Also, the Governor
should have right now a blueprint for the economic de-
velopment Of these Islands. Without such a blueprint, and
without a group directly responsible for studying and know
ing every phase of this plan the future ofSthe Island would
be in doubt.

Profit for six months this
