QUESTIONS FOR SERIOUS
U ON THE COLOR
QUESTION

Granted that the Country Club,
he Tennis Club, and the Ha- Pen
Iy Beach Club are all segregation
SITS, where are the non-segrega-
t onists clubs that any American
could have joined when reaching
his island?
Are there any integrated clubs?
Isas not this condition existed
ince the time of the Danes?
Why select this time and this
issue to blame the Americans
among us for segregation? Is it not
opportune to try to separate their
votes from the two District mem
bers of the Legislature?
Have you ever seen that the
Democrats and News-C Current are
friends now? Under other condi-
tionswould News Current carry an
editorial written by Anduze? This
is on election year, and everything
is being done to draw down or
weaken the Democrats. The plan
is well laid, observe it keenly,
All who testified at the hearing
only said that they would like to
see what is in the contract. Not
one gave testimony against the es-
Enlistment of the Harvey plant.
Why was this color issue brought
in?

HARVEY-NO SUBSTITUTE
THE HARVEY Aluminium plant and its ad'

THE HARVEY Aluminium plant and its advent in these
parts is creating national attention. 1t is unfortunate, to say the
least, that a project which is SO full of potential benefits and
profits for these Islands should become the center of SO much
controversy, and split Virgin Islanders. And what is even more
unfortunate is the fact that there has been raised no voice
which seems to shed some intelligent light on the matter.
Claims for, and arguments against have flounShed a~bundantly.
but the real crux Of the matter seemingly has not been touched
AT THE root of the matter is whether the benefits or adj
yantages Of such a plant in ST. Crox will outweigh the disad.
vantageS.
THOSE WHO argue for Harvey point to increased wages
and employment, all Of which will be permanent because this
is a permanent project. They also argue that even if the tourist
trade should faher, Harvey will be here to fill the gap.
WHO argue against Harvey claim that too much
is being spent for the good that will return to us. A pier, cost
ing some three million dollars has to be built; the corporation
will operate tax exempt for sixteen years, and some 700 odd
acres Of land will have to be turned over to Harvey. And then
to all this will be added the possibility that the processing OF
alumina from bauxite will leave, it is said, waste materials
which will be detrimental to plant and wldlife in St. Croix.
THESE ARE H major arguments on the two sides. But
all of these have been obscured by such arguments as the de-
sires Of retired people who want to keep domestic labor wages
forever low, and the like.
IT SEEMS TO US that the main issues have not been
gone into seriously or extensively enough, and that too much
time and energy have gone into side issues. We ought to have
weighed the matter, and then come up with a decision based
upon the pros and cons.
TOTHIS PAPER, a most unfortunate aspect of the entire
situation is the fact that Harvey may replace the Virgin Islands
Corporation. Whether we admit it or not, there can really be nc
proper substitute for a corporation like VICORP, which was
geared entirely to the needs of these Islands.

arrangement is to pay mileage
at 10 cents per mile and a 81

the county fire truck sometimes
is unable to gain access to burn

to the group.
After pcremptory statements
about early Flint Cobb mentioned
the Negro as being an integral
part of the city and three stages
which brought about changes
which led directly to the turning
point in Race Relations. He fore.
cast the population rising 25 per
cent of the total by 1910.
lnduStrially interprctating, he
surmiSed that General Motors had
prevented the city of Flint from
becoming a ghost town and that
employment here had made pos
sible a higher standard of living
for the Negro population in Flint.
Mr. Cobb continued to draw
three perspectives of Race Re-
lations in the world. nation, and
in Flint. He prefaced his conclud-
ing remarks with the statement.
Look at the Negro and you see
the face of the earth
Silence greeted him at inter
vals as he repeated, II don't be-
licve in retreat and | don't be-
