CARE FOR NEEDY II CHRISTMAS
AT H time Of the year the attention of the Christian
world turns to those less fortunate ~fellowmen, and charity
organizations receive donations for their work. And St. Croix
is no exception. On that greatest of all holy days men try to
make sure that everyone, regardless Of his circumstances, sit
down to a meal of Joy and thanksgiving. Christmas is really
the spirit Of giving because it is at this time that we celebrate
the greatest gift to the world; & the blessed custom has grown
ever since that glorious morning nearly two centuries ago.
MANY OF our local churches have undertaken to care
for the needy, and while this work continues almost unnoticed
through the year, vet at Christmas special appeals are made
with the hope that Christians will respond, helping to make
them LIGHTER and more successful. No one should miss the op.
nortrnity to share, regardless of how small or simple with
those about him, SO that every contribution has its place, and
can help more than is thought.
WHEN IT is called to mind that there are millions who
do not have the opportunity to know the warmth and glory OF
the love and attention Of their ~felowmen, those who help to
tighten the burden Of others should not let the opportunity
pass. In these Islands there are a few appeals made for charity
SC that when the call goes out it should receive a ready res
ponse.
WE JOIN others in urging that every possible effort be
made to help those who have undertaken in the spirit Of the
season to care for the needy. 1t should be remembered that it
each and everyone contributes even the most Insignificant
amount, the total will be adequate to the need, When, there
fore, an approach is made each citizen should be glad to res
pond.
ONE OF underlying reasons for the cold war is the
sharp difference in belief that man is sacred, and that every
thing in the world is for his glorificaton and benefit. The
other side insists that man is here to serve the state. In our
way Of thinking this seems repulsiYe. Yet, one Of the efforts
that can most effectively preserve our way is to see that ouI
needy is cared for.
E US BE sure to answer when the call is made, and
there is no better time than at Christmas time.

AS to the methods involved il
rail reading" through this "give
away:
l. individuals and organizations
have written to your Office asking
for information concerning this
project. Individuals have strong
personal feelings so / do not ask
that you re-read their letters, but
if you will carefully and fairly ex-
anime the correspondence from
st. Croix organizations, you will
find that they neither condmemed
or favored the program. They SIM
ply asked for information, Tor
hearings, before they made up
their minds. What information did
they receive? NONE
3. Instead, the people of St.
Croix have been presented with
an accomplished fact" which is:
a. a guaranteed method to re-
duce tourism in ST. Croix.
b.. A guaranteed method not on
ly to repel but to drive away peo-
pie who desired to reside in St.
Croix.
c. A guaranteed method to re-
duce st. Croix to the status of the
.slum area" of the Virgin Islands.
As to the motive, | ask myself:
a. Are the Business people of ST.
Thomas SO 'money-hungry" that
they would willingly destroy" St.
Croix because it is attracting a few
more tourists via cruise ships or
planes?
b. (Here l INTRUDE, Of neces-
s;ty, a controversial point. Are
the new residents so much dis
liked and resented that the Virgin
Islanders in power would readily
destroy the future of St. Cro,x
rather than have the newcomers
remain or continue to come?
c. Is it monetary gain on a part
Of a few who would benefit per-
sonally? I keep asking myself who
are the people who most vocifer-
ously support this plant. Are they
people who own homes or are they
people who have bought land for
speculation and/or who live on
land rented or leased from private
individuals or the Government?
To inject a personal note, | feel
that I may ask these questions,
since. even though I am a regis
tered Republican. I petitioned and
this can be confirmed the United
States Congress urging your ap-
pointment as Governor because I
had confidence in your ability and
integrity.

This is to protest vigorously:
|. Against the proposed subsidy
of the Harvey Aluminium
Company by the Government
of the Virgin Islands.
2. Against the method used in
rail reading this subsidy
through, and
3. Against the motive or motives
behind this action.
According to your release, the be-
nefits accruing to ST. Croix are
a. 1880 additional people en-
ployed in the construction of
the proposed plant. May /
ask where these employees
are coming from?
b. 400 additional people en-
ployed in the capacity Of store
keepers, etc. to serve the lin
f1ux''. What happens to the
400 when the 1900 con
struction people have depart
ed?
c. 1851 Of 400 people employed
from the Islands for the oper-
alton of the plant
which island-In what capa-
city? AS white collar workers?
What plant needs 800 desk
people? AS mechanics? Where
are the mechanics coming
from? AS laborers? Do we i'm
port "cane cutters for this
work?
According to your press release,
the Virgin Islands Government
will:
a. Donate 100 acres Of land in
addition to Krause Lagoon" (Which
has a minimum area Of $50 acres)
tc this company. Why Donate
Harvey is already subsidized by
the Federal Government. Haven't
we have so informed?
b. Dredge a channel at an es-.
timated cost Of $4,000, 900. Again
why, since Harvey is already sub
sidized by the Federal Govern
ment.
c Give a sixteen year tax mo-
rator um to Harvey. Why sixteen
years instead of ten? Why even
ten? Since:
/. Harvey ALUMINIUM will bene-
fit tremendously by taking advan-
tage of v. j. Bill No. 1924 originally
designed as an Industrial Incen-
tive Program to attract clean, small
indu3tries.
2. The mere fact that Harvey
Aluminium will take advantage of
this tax law is almost certain to
lead to its repeal as a result Of
pressure from the U. S. Govern
ment. It is a matter of record thai
several U. s Senator's are clearly
advocating its repeal.
