than on the mainland. Our roads were laid out ata time when
the horse and buggy prevailed. A look at the Centerline road
between Christiansted and Kings Hill will tell Immediately
why the greatest care should be used. There are at least
seven sharp, blind corners within a distance Of no more than
seven miles. Why any motorist should seek to turn those cor
ners at high speeds is what only a mad person can answer
And the condition Of the road between Christiansted and
Kings Hill on the North side is just as dangerous.
ADD TO THIS condition the fact that cars made for
~right-hand drive are used on left-hand roads, and one sees i'm
mediately another potential for great danger. Our roads have
been improved, it is true, but even that will not eliminate
completely The basic condition.
/ THIS ISLAND is small, the distances between points
are short, all Of which means that there should be no need
to race and take chances. A trip from one town to the other
should take no less than 40 minutes, and this takes into account
getting in and out of town, where the traffic is heaviest. Rae
ing between point near the towns and in the towns themselves
is nothing but sheer madness.
THE SENATE HAS a responsibility, as does the Depart.
ment Of Public Safety They may need to exercise even great
er powers for the public good if some Of our irresponsible
citizens do not stop endangering the lives Of others

DANGER STILL ON OUR ROADS

EVEN THOUGH stiff fines have been imposed on those
who violate our traffic lawk the foolish and wanton disregard
for those laws continues, bringing with it loss Of property, and
the ever present possibility Of loss Of life, and perhaps harm
to both pedestrian and motorist:
IF THE SITUATION continues, then the Senate will
have to make sitter laws. The use Of our roads is a privilege
which our citizens should appreciate, and show it by driving
carefully and observing the rights Of others. Unless that is
done then more restrictions will have to be imposed for the
good of all.

along the Susquehanna River. Now,
however, the Government is planning
to build a dam which would submerge
part of these holdings. The purpose
of the dam is the admittedly impor-
tant one of controlling flood waters
Of the river. If there were no alter
native to this dam the breaking of
the treaty might be understandable,
on the ground that the public interest
is paramount. But the Senecas assert
there is a feasible alternatives dam
at Conewango, as proposed by former
Tennessee Valley Authority official.
Accordingly, the Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting Of Friends, Quaker organi-
zation, has urged President Kennedy to
order preliminary work on the approved
dam halted, pending study of the two
sites by an impartial committee of
experts. Congress would then be asked
to weigh the committees findings and
make the final acknowledging in
mind the Governments 167-year-old
pledge to leave the Senecas in possess
sion Of their lands indefinitely. We
think this is a reasonable proposal.

Government continues to repudiate it's

tribes, also in Difference to what may be
called eXpediency. Are these treaties,
solemnly agreed to many years ago,
to be tossed aside as scraps of paper?
Latest of the Indian treaties which

Indians, guaranteeing the Seneca Nation

Friend From Japan

Together with his wife and official
party, Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda of
Japan is very welcome visitor to Wash
ington. He will be Sojourning among us
for the next few days, during which time
he will have number of meetings with
President Kennedy for a frank ex-
change of opinions" on important prob
lens Of mutual interest.
This exchange, as Mr.. Ikeda has
declared in formal statement, should
do much to serve the primary purpose
Of his visit here-namely, "to further
deepen JapaneSe-American understand
ing and strengthen our ties of co-opera-
ton through heart-to-heart talks" with
Mr.. Kennedy and top officials Of the
United States. The talks, he hopes and
believes, will lead to better ways of
concerting our efforts for world peace
and contributing to a better life for
people in less privileged lands" through
out the globe.
These words are highly generalized.
1t may be taken for granted, however,
that the conversations between the
President and the Prime Minister will
be quite specific, and they promise to
help narrow differences over issues on
which Washington and Tokyo do not see
eye to eye. The issues have to do with
things like trade, and with our country's
view that the Ikeda government might
be able to make bigger economic con-
tribution to help underdeveloped nations
in Asia. They have to do also with
questions regarding relations with Red
China, Japan'S rights in Okinawa, the
Communist threat to such places as
Laos and South Wet Nam, and the opera.
ton Of our Japanese American security
treaty.
Mr.. Ikeda is in a good position to
speak authoritatively for his country on
these and kindred matters Although
he has been having some domestic
political difficulties fac
tionaliSm within his Liberal Democratic
Party and periodic street demonStra-
tions by Red-led mobs-he and his
relatively conservative government still
are armed with solid parliamentary
majority. This majority, moreover,
seems sufficiently strong to Withstand
the assaults Of the "neutraliSts," the
extremist Socialists and the Communists.
Accordingly, as the Prime Minister
begins his talks with the President, the
indications are that his basically pro-
Western, pro-American government con-
tinues to enjoy a stability that has made
it seem one Of the most durable in
Japan's postwar history. This is
condition good not only for his own
country, but for ours as well, and for
the free world imgeneral.

It's Up to Castro

The Tractors for Freedom Com
mittee" has submitted what appears to
be final proposal to Fidel Castro.
Thus, in one way or another, we seem
to be approaching the end of this
American experiment in submitting to
blackmail
The committee, headed by Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, DR.. Milton Eisen-
hover and Walter Reuther, has notified
Castro that 1t is prepared to ship him
500 farm-type tractors in return for the
release of some 1900 invasion prisoners.
This, in effect, is rejection of CaStro's
new demand for $28 million in cash,
credits or the equivalent Furthermore,
the committees message says it will
drop the whole business unless I'VE have
received from you clear, positive accept
ance OF our offer by noon EST, on
Friday"
This means that the decision now
is up to Castro. He can go through with
the deal as originally proposed by him,
or he can reject this final offer and
thereby demonstrate that he has been
trihing with the we'll meaning but
misguided group of Americans who
plunged into this project at the sug-
geStion Of the President In either event,
we will be glad when it is over For this
certainly has not been an undertaking
which adds anything to Americas stat
ure or prestige.

FACING a Biq Job

President Kennedy'S choice OF
Robert F. Woodward, a career Foreign
Service off1cer, to be Assistant Secretary
Of State for Inter-American Affairs
has been greeted with unusually warm
approval.
This has been based first Of all on
the fact that Mr.. Woodward, now our
Ambassador to Chile, is considered a
highly knowledgeable and effective dip
lomat in the area of his new Jurisdiction,
Indeed, in the 30 years of his State
Department service, he has had only one
brief foreign assignment outside the
Western Hemisphere, and he has at var
iouS times been assigned to ten different
Latin American capitals. He has served
also as Deputy Assistant Secretary for
the area, an assignment that gives him
added familiarity with the exacting
duties of his new Office. Worthy of
notice, too, was the immediate gratif1-
cation expressed by his colleagues in
the department and by Latin American
ENJOYS here.
There has been increasing recogni-
ton within our Government that our
policies toward the nations to the South
must be strengthened in concept and in
action. The President offered a theme
for this effort in launching an alliance
for progress" and U. N. Ambassador
Adlai StevenSon'S visit to South Amer
lea was intended to set this program in
motion. The establishment of Fidel
Castro in Cuba and the obvious extent
of Communist influences now prevailing
in Havana have dramatized the need for
this rehabilitation of United States
bonds with the remainder Of the Amer
lean community, and for the proposed
efforts to encourage greater political
stability and economic development.
Only few days before selecting
Mr.. Woodward for his post, the Presi-
dent designated De Lesseps Morrison,
Mayor of New Orleans, as Ambassador
to the Organization of American States.
Together, these two appointments COM
plete the front-line team for this vital
area of foreign affairs. It is important
that the choices should be confirmed
quickly and that clear authority for
action should be established. There is
a big Job to be done.

Congress and the Capitals Hour of Need

The House District Sub
committee of the Committee
on Appropriations is getting
testimony to the effect that
the public schools are not
providing children with an
adequate education. Parents
are complaining that they
have had to place their chill
dren in private schools in
order to provide them with
the necessary instruction that
current conditions demand.
Last year, Superintendent
Hansen said that there were
almost $4,000 slow-learning
pupils in the elementary
schools who needed more at
tention than could be given
them. This year, the school
authorities have announced
that slightly more than 1000
similar students in the junior
high schools will be placed
in either the regular or
atypical tracks in September,
1861, for the same reason.
There is good educational
ground for believing that
most slow-learners would be
brought up to normal levels
of performance-if they were
placed in comparatively small
classes with teachers specially
trained to identify and rem
edy their difficulties.
During the current school
year there were slightly more
than 1900 children-at all
school levels - housed in
buildings constructed before
1900. Most of them lacked
any of the facilities or con-
ditions necessary to provide
the modern pupil with the
opportunities and incentives
to learn that are now
required: Almost 10000 chill
dren were in educationally
substandard buildings out Of
117.000. And about 1000 more
were in substandard space
not intended for classroom
