EDITORIAL
DUTY-FREE GOODS-A MUST
ONE OF THE most inviting features Of the Virgin Is
lands have much to offer in scenic beauty, delightful climate,
and a warmth and hospitality second to none, Yet, with all
these, the ability to leave these shores with a substantial
amount of gifts and other goods ~dutyfree is an inducement
which puts the icing on the cake, as it were.
THE VIRGIN Islands are still searching for a sound, sus-
tanning economy, and perhaps will be doing Just that tor many,
many years to come. Lacking natural resources and raw ma
terialS which can be manufactured into finished products, we
must constantly search for a way out. This is not easy because
of competition in an ever-changng world.
ONCE WE RELIED almost entirely on sugar and rum.
During those glorious days it might not have occurred to the
leaders that a change would come, and that if we were not
ready for ii, the results would be hazardous. And after World
war i, we were at an extreme low. Those were the days when
in desperation a few men decided to keep one of our factories
open.
THE PROBLEM with economic planning in these parts
is that it has been secondary. We seem always content to Just
90 along with the tide, but in this atomica age, any such think
ing can only be dangerous. In many parts Of the world there
are groups which have the sole responsibility of looking to the
future, and heaven knows, we need such thinking here.
FOR THE present the dutyfree opportunity to purchase
is a strong selling point for tourists, and indeed many come
here who would easily go elsewhere, but for this chance to
take away valuables. But there is more to it than just the
tourist making a purchase here and there. These purchases
put money in circulation and boost our economy, which is i'm
portant beyond description.
WE KNOW efforts will be made to keep this advan-
tage in tact. True, one of our strongest friends, the late Sena-
tor Kerr, is no longer with us, but we must find other friends.
The law which extends dutyfree purchasing in these parts
must remain on the books.

Counting sales Of foreign cars, Mr. Ford said, I'VE
feel that we'll probably Guido the record year of 1855
by slim margin We should do better than million
new cars this year."
He added that while record may not be broken
every year II still think we're going to have at least
another 7-milon-car year next year. The average
ought to be million throughout the rest Of the 1905
Among other factors he cited high employment
there's confidence in the consumers mind he's going
to have a job'-a scrappage rate of as million to

market value exceeding $40
million.

"A little nudge in the second

Favorable factors listed by

Markets Face
!. U. 5. POLICING
If Evils Stay
By SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Writer

NEW YORK - Self-policing
VS.. government controls $50 an
increasingly sore point in busi-
ness-government relations - Is
brought sharply into focus to-
day by an official study Of what
makes the stock market tick.
How the question is finally
settled is Of great Importance
to investors. large and small
and by Implication to other
parts Of the business world
fearful Of increased or proposed
government regulation.
Stock exchanges and other
handlers Of securities think -
as do leaders in many other in
dustries-that since they are
closest to their problems they
are best equipped to regulate
themselves and stop or prevent
malpractice that bilks the
stock buying public. They point
to recent tightening of their
own rules and stepped-up vigi-
lance.
More Powers for SEC
A special panel study Of Sc
curity marketing practices for
the securities g. exchange COM
mission holds - as apparently
do many government officials
in other lines - that self
regulation is fine but that the
SEC should be given more pow
ers TO see that the policing is
done, and along lines held by
the government TO be best for
the investing public.
The theme of the study
seems to be that mo business
is eager for regulation" and
firm government oversight"
is needed to see that the polic-
ing is done properly.
The report says: "as a corol-
larry Ito self-regulation), 1t is
an essential role Of govern
ment, i.e., the commission
(SEC), to assure that there is
no gap between the total regu-
latory need and the quantity
of self-regulation provided by
recognized agencies"
Stock exchanges do consid-
cradle policing of their men,
Der brokerage houses and sew
eral times Of late have cracked
down on rule attractions. The
much larger over-the-counter
market of stocks unlisted on
any exchange is regulated by
the national association Of
securities dealers. set up by law
to supervise activities Of 5000
firms, involving 100000 per-
sons.
The panel report finds much
to praise in both efforts but
says the New York Exchanges
self regulation has been "seri-
ously unsatisfactory" in some
directions and the NASA too
independent Of SEC controls.
New Laws Proposed
The study holds that "the
strengthening of the commits
sion's program should include
more direct and continuous
awareness Of actual happen
ings in the market place,
stronger and more continuous
liaison with each exchange and
the NASD as to its self-regula-
tory problems. and fuller and
more systematic accounting by
the exchanges and the NASD
as to their self-regulatory
progress and results"
To this end the study pro-
poses new laws by congress and
expanded staffs for the SEC
and especially for the NASD.

cuss the issue of still stricter
