The progressive goals he
cited were those he said Pre-
Ilier Fidel Castro promised
and later betrayed-in mount
ing a successful uprising
against the tyranny and cor
ruption Of the past"
Mr.. Kennedy said Mr..
Castro's original proclaimed
detectives were Democratic and
worthy Of support. But he said
they quickly gave way to
policies that stripped the
Cuban people of their freedom
and handed over the independ-
ence and sovereignty of the
Cuban nation to forces beyond
the hemisphere"
He said that, "once Cuban
sovereignty has been restored, I"
the United States will extend
the hand of friendship and as
sistance to a Cuba whose polit-
zeal and economic institutions
have been shaped by the will
Of the Cuban people"
No Batista Wanted
White House sources agreed
that Mr.. Kennedy's Statement
was an invitation to the Cubar
,populace to overthrow MI
Castro. And they said he in,
tended to make 1t clear tina
the United States does not ex.
pect, or want, a Castro free
Cuba to return to the days Of
,BatiSta.
Mr.. Kennedy was even more
direct in restating policy toward
any attempts by future Castros
TO seize power in Latin America
He said:
THE American states must
be ready to come to the aid Of
any government requesting aic
to prevent a takeover linked tc
the policies Of foreign com.
munism rather than to an in
-ternal desire for change. My
country is prepared to do this.

President said:

Mr.. Kennedy also touched OF
three other topics of curren
hemisphere significance:

Meanwhile. Delegate John c.

ton to ratify the Twenty
fourth Amendment. This bill

But neither am I oblivious
to the fact that any matter
that concerns the elective fran

opponents might have pre-

Gov. Harrison emphasized
that the Twenty-fourth Amend

poll tax will remain as a pre-
requisite. Even those who vote
in Federal elections will still
owe the $3.50 annual tax, he

THERE AVE BEEN accusations that some in ST. Crolx
continue to fan the iSland-toiSland issue; that there IS always
some dissatisfaction, and that nothing seems to please. Some
of this is, of course, exaggerated, but in the main, there is rea-
son to complain, and when that is the case then 1t would De
unfair, even to us here, to remain silent.
THE THREE Islands of these Virgins are very difficult in
their requirements, conditions and possibilities. Facts known
to all are that St. Thomas is almost entirely commercial, and

THERE IS NO reason for not understanding and appre-

each situation a. it arises and as conditions dictate. There
are times when one Island will call for greater attention, or
funds, tor special projects, for example. There is no law which
says that there must De a bind adherence to a set l-23 pat

WE IN ST. CROIX are trying to understand the stua-

able and impractical demands. Nothing Of the sort. What is
being pointed out here is the frequent disproportionate treat
ment directed towards these shores. For example, a road pro-

to be allocated, and not shifted around. Yet they often are,

Dear Mr.. Brodhurst

Dear MI. BrodhurSt
It has been my pleasure to be
a steady avis" reader for many
months. On many occasions your
editorials have stirred my patriotic
bones to a point of anger over
Unjust situations. In particular, the
insane conduct of the officials of
the state of Mississippi over the
forced admission of a single col
ored student was forcefully pune
tuated in your paper.
The recent actions of the power
elements of your senate still have
me puzzled. This sort of thing
seems below the moral level of
rational people in a democratic
society. AS an outside observer, it
looks like the Democratic Party
there has a hard but rewarding
row to hoe.
My interest in St. Croix was
first kindled when my brother
landed" there as a charter boat
skipper, and decided to stay. His
association with Ted Dale, EricS-
son-Hamilton, and now Backlund
Engineering have been somewhat
of a success story and this in an
island community which adver-
tiSeS that newcomers should be
prepared to be out of work at
least six months before finding a
position" / am very encouraged
by the healthy progress that the
island is making in several areas
of commerce. (This is made evil
dent in your articles, as well as
national publications on the con-
tinent.)
1t is through my brothers gen
oersity that my subscription was
initiated. Which reminds me, it is
a good plan to mail my issues
once a week, or on whatever day
the weight of the papers barely
falls within the postal limit. That
would seem to be a practical ap-
proach.
My copies are quite widely read
within the company where I work.
After / scan them, other engineers
in the group look them over; then
l usually mark items of unusual
interest and send them to the
president. The copies are pretty
dogeared after a tour through the
exec. Offices.
Our president, Mr., Paul Reedy,
made a trip down as far as ST.
Croix last May in his private
plane, and he's 'sready to go back
any time. My wife and l plan to
go there with another couple by
the same means this coming De-
cember.
We are looking forward to
meeting you at that time.

Subjugation By
AttritiOn

What significance do you give
to the Russian planes over
Alaska? Why did they violate
our airspace?
Doesn't it reflect an aggres-
sive military posture, another
jOStle? Aren't the Russians con-
sciously embarked upon soft
tening-up program? It seems so
to me.
Consider the situation.
First they fly their aircraft
over our carriers in the Pacific.
And this shortly after President
Kennedy had told us how hard
it is for a plane to find a ship
in the ocean. You will recall he
made that statement in justifi-
cation of his plan to use surface
vessels instead of submarines as
launching vehicles for our Po-
laris missiles.
The overnight of the carriers
certainly made mincemeat of
that opinion.
Next the planes over Alaska.
And this in the face of repeated
statements by the Adninistra-
ton that manned aircraft are of
diminishing value. they can no
longer get the job done. Which
is the reason given, you will re-
call, for stopping our production
OF B52s and the Defense Depart
ment's refusal to take the BIO
off the drawing board.
And in reply, the Russians con-
found the Presidents opinion by
successfully penetrating our
airspace, defying our detection
nets in "old-fasMoned' bomber
planes.
Why do they do this? Aren't
they. in effect, laughing at us?
Aren't they discrediting our
President? Doesn't each of
these acts constitute an irrefut-
able denial of the President S
most solemn announcements?
Doesn't it make us look fool
ish? Not so much to the world

sponsible parties for educational pur-
poses. In fact four years ago, an effort
was made by group of sincere Prince
Edward people to provide education for
children then out of school. All efforts
to provide educational opportunities to
the Negro children were spurned by
their parents at the behest of the
NAACP.
Recent litigation, supported by the
NAACP, has enjoined the use of schol-
arship funds, appropriated under Vir-
ginia law, both by the State and the
county, thus depriving all citizens of
Prince Edward County of their just
benefits for which they have paid taxes.
The burden has fallen upon both white
and Negro parents, we believe unjustly
The visit Of DR.. Morsell follows
set plan of propaganda by the NAACP
Perennial visits have been made by it's
officials in the Spring. One year it was
celebration of the May II, 1854 decision
Last year DR.. Martin Luther King was
the principal attraction, etc. Outside
pressures and propaganda of every dis
cription have been used. when indeed
the questions to be resolved are legal
ones.
1t is reassuring to find the NAACP
now interested in education. We trust
the impending decision of the Fourth
Circuit Court will make it possible to
wish It, under conditions which will be
acceptable to all parties.
ANY permanent program awaits clari-
flcation Of many questions now before
the federal courts for adjudication. It
has taken four years to bring the courts
face-to-face with the questions, and we
hope they will decide them now and
not sidestep as has been the case in
former litigation.

CELEBRATION of Easter is the most
important of all Christian events.
1t commentaries the victory over
death, followed by the appearance of
Christ to his intimates, and his ascen-
sion. These historical events as record
ed in the New Testament give Chris
tians the hope and faith for everlasting
life. Except for this faith Christians
would be without hope
The time is when Christians through
out the World must reassert their faith,
renew their vigor, and increase their
evangelism. Nowhere in history was
