NO ALUMINIUM COMPANY, PLEASE!

NO ALUMINIUM COMPANY, PLEASED
SOME l ago this paper indicated that it would take
no position on the establishment here of a branch of the Har-
vey ALUMINIUM Company, preferring to wait. 1t is now our
position that this company should not be given the benefits
which would permit establishing here.
THESE ISLANDS need new industries. Our economy
needs to be improved, and we must continue to seek new and
better ways of improving that economy, to the point where we
shall be fully selfsupporting, providing for ourselves the high
est possible standard Of living. In addition to the tourist trade
there must be agricultural pursuits, and every form OF industry
in keeping with our best interests. Weare convinced that an
aluminium plant in st. Croix would not meet those interests.
IN ORDER TO establish a branch here, Harvey is requir-
ing that there be set aside for its exclusive use about l6OO acres
of land, tax and other benefits. In exchange employment will
be provided for some 400 employees. Where, may we ask, are
these 1000 acres to come from? Much OF our land is fertile
enough for cultivation. Certainly the higher, billy areas would
not be desirable for the purposes OF a manufacturing plant. Inc
only portions, therefore, which would be of interest to Harvey
would be those portions which could best be used tor agr1cul-
ture. This would be a tragedy, to say the least.
MADDITION to providing much fertile land for virtual
extinction, the b~y-products orwaste from the manufacture OF
alumma would endanger plant and animal life. This is a small
island, trade winds constantly blow, sweeping from one shore
to the other. In the wake of this wind-blown waste would come
loss Of much wild life that is valuable to this island.
FISHING IS one of our main source of food-and income
and there is no doubt that fishing would suffer should such a
plant be established here. &
EMPLOYMENT of some 400 laborerS is held out as one
of the benefits, but as Of the moment unemployment is not one
of our problems, as witnessed from the fact that much OF our
labor, skilled and unsdlled, is imported.
FINALLY, BEFORE any definite steps are taken to pro-
vide this company with the many benefits which it would re-
quire in exchange for establishing here, public hearings should
be conducted by the Senate. This would provide an excellent
