think the nation is in a questing
mood We seek a national unity
that will be a bond among our
selves and q bulWark against our
enemies. This kind of unity may
include, but is not limited to sup
porting the President in the dis
charge of his responsibility for the
safety Of the country nor to APP
proving the acts of the Congress
in providing for the common de-
Tense.
The kind of unity we seek must
be found in the hearts of all
Americans. We must each, indi-
vidually, have the courage to face
both the real and the illusory
dangers of our times We must
each be individually responsible
for share of the moral fibre of
America. Out of this common eX-
perience of millions of Americans
in presenting inwardly and out
wardly an expression of the bra
very and faith that have char
acterized America in the past will
come American unity
On Veterans Day | participated
in the annual ceremony held in
Bethesda in Montgomery County.
The thoughts expressed by the
speakers on that occasion. the rep
resentative units of the Armed
Services which took part, and the
whole solemn program so well ar
ranged by Bill Allen of the Be-
thesda Tribune confirmed my be-
lief that the basic unity we seek
can and will be realized by the
American people.
Earlier last week l had con-
tinued my circuit riding in the
Sixth Congressional District. One
of the most interesting trips l
made was an inspection of the
c & o Canal National Monument
to examine the work now under
way and the potential for future
development when the Beall-Ma-
thias bill becomes law. There has
already been a substantial eX-
penditure of Federal funds on this
national property and the con-
tinuation of this investment can
only be justified on the basis of
making the Canal available to
more people. Its use cannot be
limited, but must be expanded so
that the wonderful Potomac River
Valley. rich in history, in scenery,
in Wildlife and in recreational OPP
portunities can be used by those
who live on the riverbank as we'll
as by visitors from the rest of
the United States.
MY liSJCCtlOi UP VI lIC Ndidl
for the forty-eight mile section be-
tween Pow Paw Tunnel and Four
Locks confirm my opinion that it
is possible and practical to create
a great national park along The
Potomac. The Paw Paw Tunnel and
the many aquaducts are impress
sive monuments to 18th century
engineering. A glimpse of deer
grouse, quail, vanishing wild
animals and rare birds viii reward
the cOnservationist and the ma
turalist Boating on the River and
on the Canal provides recreation
and exercise for the vigorous.
Proper access to roads, bridges and
culverts can make the longtime
inhabitants of the Potomac Valley
benefit more than ever from the
proximity of a great body of water.

grain acreage, the corn yield per
acre is six bushels above last year
record high of 54.5 bushels per
acre This is because the Ameri-
can farmer is able to produce
larger yields per acre by efficient
use of land and fertilizer and by
intensive cultivation. He is there
fore able to raise more food on
less land. 1t is true the Corn
Bet weather was favorable this
year but it was also favorable in
1859 and 1860
The estimated S5U0 million cOst
of this program has been increased
by S270 million. The estimated 800
million bushel reduction in produc-
ton has been lowered to 400 mil
lion bushels. The estimated "sev-
eral hundred million bushels re-
duction in stOckpiles has been con-
veniently forgotten.
The failure of the feed grain
program to solve present farm
problems has also brought us
dangerously near to the creation
of a new farm surplus problem
Farmers used fields which had
been retired" from feed grain
production to raise soybeans and
the result is an estimated 720 mil
lion bushel soybean crop-an in
crease of 1852 million bushels over
1860. The increase of 45 cents per
bushel in the Government sup
ported price of sOybeans to $3.50
per bushel. was a major factor in
the increase in soybean production
AS a result the old farm problem
remains and a new problem is
being created.
An Administration official in the
Agriculture Department stated on
October 10th that there was some
drop in the total feed grain pic
ture, and he would have us be-
lieve that this indicates a success
full program. But, even if the pro-
gram does save the taxpayers the
$500 million storage and other ex-
penditures as the Administration
claims, the actual cost of this paper
savings may well reach one bill
lion dollars by the end of this year
As the editor Of one leading
newspaper put it, "The taxpayers
have managed to survive whole
series of Notwithstanding plans
but it just may be that not even
taxpayers will be fooled forever
by this sort of bargain"

Veterans Day, 1861, a commence
ration of special significance. Each
year Veterans Day, or Armistice
Day as many Americans still call
it, has a different meaning for
most of us In the period between
the Great Wars it was chiefly a
day to remember with horror the
cruel experience of World War l.
During World War II the mood
shifted and it was not so much of
day of memory as a moment of
association between the service
men and women of the forties and
those of the preceding genera

Carries Story on
Dunish Influence in vi

The strong influence of Den
mark on the U. S. Virgin Is
lands is described in a story
just sent to $3.50 newspapers,
radio and television stations by
the National Geographic Soci-
ETY. in Washington, DC, the
Virgin Islands Department of
Commerce has been informed.
The story describes two Ma
tional Historic Sites in Saint
Croix and st. Thomas and
points out that they are unique
in the National Parks System
inasmuch as they are Danish.
One is the waterfront and
town square in Christiansted,
st. Croix. "The spacious colo
NAL Buildings and arcaded
sidewalks reflect the dignity of
a vanished era. Government
House still bears the ornate
cyphers Of Danish Kings" the
story says.

it's investment comparable to
private industry and (5) if we
expect Congress to continue
to make the investments ne
cessary to meet the power
needs of the Virgin Islands we
must demonstrate that the IA
cilities for which they will
provide will be operated on a
sound business basis. These in
vestments represent appro-
priations of nearly five million
dollars within the next year
and twenty million over the
next t en- years.
81 can assure you that the
increase in power rates was
thoroughly investigated and
studied and the action taken
was done in the best long term
interests of the Virgin Islands
An investment in power
equipment and facilities must
be amortized like any other,
and this can only bebrought
about by selling the product
in this case electricity--at rates
that will insure accomplishing
this end. The Virgin Islands
should have reliable and de-
.pendable electric service, but
the cost of the same must be
paid for by the consumer"

DR.. BARTLETT VICORP PRESIDENT.
DEFENDS POWER RATE INCREASES
Says v. !. should Hove Relidble Service
But Must Be Pdid for by Consumer

Because the new power rates established by the
Virgin Islands Corporation effective September l 1861,
have been the subject of considerable discussion in the
press and radio in recent weeks. DR.. Kenneth Bartlett,
President Of the Corporation has issued the following
statement with respect to this.
, 1961-11-10

statement with respect to t
DR.. Bartlett said: ut is not
personal policy or that of the
Corporation to enter into cor
respondence with private in
dividuals through the medium
of the press. The published let
ter from Mr.. Warren E. Brown
to me on the power situation
was answered through normal
channels, and Mr.. Brown has
released excerpts of my reply
to the extent he so wished"
The record is entirely clear
on the new rate increases and
nothing has been hidden from
the public. A press conference
announcing the new rates was
held in Government House,
st. Thomas, on July Is, within
a week after action was taken
by the Board of Directors. Sub
sequent discussions were held
with the Public Service Com
mission Of the Virgin Islands,
the st. Thomas Chamber of
Commerce, and radio and tele-
vison programs were used to
explain the reasons for increas
ing power ratios in the Virgin
Islands.
The following considerations
were pertinent in the Boards
decision: ~ There have been
two rate decreases since acqui-
sition of the power facilities by
VICORP in 1852; (2) costs of
operation have risen sharply
over the past five years due
to substantially higher salaries,
wages, fuel costs, the cost OF
new equipment and repair
parts has more than doubled;
(3) the minimum charge Of
$1.00 per month did not cover
cost of installation and read
ing of meters nor billing; az
