Q-Members of the armed forces
on active duty may be protected
from lapse OF commercial insur-
ance policies by the VA under
terms OF the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act. just what does it
mean?
A Once your commercial in
surance policy is protected by the
VA under these terms, ii Will not
lapse or terminate for nonpayment
of premiums while YOU are on ac-
tive duty and for two years after
your discharge unless you request
withdrawal Of the protective pro
visions. If YOU do not pay the
premiums and interest to Your in
surance company during the pro-
tective period. the amount due will
be treated by the VA as a loan.
If the cash surrender value Of your
policy at the end of the protective
period is less than the amount

nate and the government will pay
your insurance company the differ

nerable to failures due to lack of
capital, tax and tariff changes, and
other problems inherent to small
business. A large industry, we'll
financed as Harvey is, can weather
an economic storm far better and
much longer. Also, once having
made a sizeable capital investment,
the large industry must stay active
regardless of circumstances which
might drive out the small pint
investor. With a large basic ma
terial processing plant, the danger
of all island industry being hit by
recession at the same time is con-
sid.rably reduced.
The recession time cycle for the
tourist industry and basic material
industry is entirely different. Raw
metals such as steel and alumni
UNI are the first to be hit by e.
cession, as they cut their payrolls
other industries follow, then the
National recession hits. By this
time, perhaps a year later, the tour
ist industry feel the full impact OF
the recession. About the time tour
ism is in the doldrumS, the basic
materials industry begins to recov-
er, assuming of course that we
never have another prolonged de-
preston. Consequently, we on st.
Croix should have at least good
employment in one industry or
the other at all times.
2. We need a large basic industry
like Harvey, to replace the Virgin
Islands Corporation which ap-
parently will be dissolved during
the next five years. While a pre-
dominately agricultural industry
like Vicorp pays an average week
ly wage of only $25.38, an indus
try like Harry would be paying an
average wage two to three times
higher. Since it would require
many more workers in the Skilled"
and "semi-skilled category. In adj
dition, it would have a fairly con-
sistent payroll, instead of a season.
al payroll.
1t is entirely feasible for a large
industry of this type to supply adj

the form Of electrical power and
fresh water. Since no water or
power is presently available, any
large industry would have to in
stall facilities Of their own.

Mr.. Hamilton said:
When John Colby called me sew
eral weeks ago, and asked me to
join in debate on the subject of
a large industry like Harry Alu-
minimum for ST. Croix, my immedi-
a.e reaction was that | felt that it
might be a good thing for the
Island.
When / acceted Johns chal-
lenge, l knew that I would have
to dig deep for the facts to find
the real truth. The more / found,
the more knew | was right. ST.
Croix needs an industry like Har-
Wy and needs it badly. Our popu-
lation is going to double in the
next 20 years. It's exploding right
now. The exodus Of Virgin Island
er5 to New York has stopped.
Ccntinentals are moving here in
greater numbers every day, and
long departed Virgin Islanders are
returning. This island is going
places and we're going to need
something besides tourists to keep
it stable.
In the last two weeks, l have
dug into every phase of the ques-
ton possible, and feel SO strong
ly, that | wish / had an hour in
stead of ten minutes to tell you
why we need Harvey
| have convinced myself in my
mind, and my heart that this is
right for st. Croix. l hope l can
convince you.
SEVEN REASONS WHY WE
NEED AN INDUSTRY SUCH
AS HARVEY ALUMINIUM
SECONDARY INDUSTRY
/. We need a large industry with
a big caital investment that will
stay and operate on the island in
good times and bad times. Our
primary and most important in
dustry is, of course, tourism, but
tourism is a luxury industry. The
first sign of recession is the fore
runner of a bad tourist season.
Communities dependent only on
tourism suffer tremendous losses
during r~ecessions because the first
thing-cut out in bad times is the
luxury of an expensive vacation.
All types Of secondary industry
are essential from the small watch
assembly factory, up to the basic
material industry sue has Harvey.
