these several matters to submit ID
the Legislature.
On the cultural side we must
continue to improve the quality of
our education. Our record Of edu-
cation here in the Virgin Islands
is q proud one. For more than a
century 4 people have been.
educated on a compulsory basis:
Our literacy rate IS close to SO per
cent. However, literacy is only
the beginning. We cannot be salts
fed with things as they are. Our
school system must be improved
and expanded. WI also need a
college in our Islands to supply to
our people the benefits Of higher
education, not only to help the in
dividual but also to carry out our
part in the national responsibility
to improve our leadership through
better trained minds. With aid
from Washington we can create
and develop a college or univer-
sity to serve the needs of the vir-.
gin Islands and or friendly
neighbors.
I can envisage the Virgin Is
lands as a cultural center for the
Caribbean and the Americas,
where the culture of all the
Americas may meet and profit
from the meeting university
where our friends from the Brit
ish Virgin Islands will meet our
friends from the French islaFds,
the Dutch islands, and the Span
ish-speaking lands Of the Carib-
bean, the North and the South.
This is not merely a dream Of
mine. It is a project under serious
consideration in Washington.
In the meantime, while we are
at work creating this college In
the islands, we must enlarge and
strengthen our program to make
certain that the children Of today
do not suffer any loss Of opportu-
nifty while we work on the prob
lens OF The children Of tomorrow.
Here again ] will appoint some of
our best minds to work out a solu-
ton to this problem. This Admin
istration will work closely with
the Democratic Administration In
Washington on this matter.
On the political side, 7 will
move strongly, as previously stat
ed, for increased representation in
our Government. We have three
basic aims:
1. We must have representa-
ton before the Congress in
the form Of a delegate freely
elected by our people.
2. We must, in the future, elect
our own Governor.
3. We must finally achieve the
long desired right to vote for
President and Vice President
Of the United States.
I pledge you here today that I

TIE ST or
Carver, Governor Beaujon, Judge
Gordon, distinguished guests, fel-
low Virgin Islanders:
Today ! have taken an Oath to
protect and defend the Constitu-
ton Of the United States Of
America. This Oath ob1igates me
to serve you and your welfare as
your Governor.
Today / am at home here with
my friends, knowing that my
friends-an Of 'you-are Willing'to
work for the things that make our
Country great and for the Amer
lean way Of life. To achieve our
detectives,
1. We must aim to make our
domestic island life a more
abundant one. We must ac-
celerate our economy.
2. We must further advanee
our cultural, moral a n d
spiritual life.
8. W. must make greater pro-
gress politically.
AS a practical man, I know that
none of us lives on inspiration
alone, or on ideals alone. There
must be food to eat. There must
be a roof over our heads. There
must be proper medical aid for
the aged and the needy. Accord
ingly, I will prepare a series Of
special programs to help achieve
these detectives. First and fore

our people in gaining a home Of

priority with action rather than

Kennedy's footsteps in bringing
these programs to our people with
vigor and speed. ! promise that
all three islands will receive fair
and equal treatment.
This Administration will also
help to expand and develop our
tourist economy on a year round
basis instead of a few months
only. We also need to diversity
our economy. We will encourage
the establishment Of small indus
try to create job opportunities on
a year round basis.
Agriculture continues to be a
problem, particularly in st. Croix;
and here, too, there is a pressing
need to diversity. We shall also
need to produce more of the food
items that we consume. Here we
are restricted and hampered by
water shortages and other factors,
but we must acknowledge the
problems and overcome them.
