ATTITUDE |Editor Holds Unthinking Stand Here Has Blocked Port’s Recovery. BY GEORGE E. Audain, Editor of the Mail. 8t. Thomas, Virgin Islands ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, May 5 (N.AN.A).—The fact that the Virgin Islands are today an ‘“effective poor house,” as President Hoover has called them, is due to the unthinking attitude of Washington, whence came laws inimical to their prosperity. These evil workers are the quarantine, immigration and prohibition regulations. The Public Health Service has done and is still doing excellent work, and if | without infringing the spirit of the | regulations a little more regard had | been given in years past, harm suffered would have been avoided. ayr pasned aawy suonTnMI SSAUTL yielded more than $50.000. Every year the sugar manufacturers of Santo Domingo contracted for thou- sands of laborers, chiefly from the neighboring British islands, who stopped at St. Thomas on their way to and from Santo Domingo. Consular fees, clearance and other charges made up a considerable item of the port receipts. But difficulties put in the way by port regulations caused the schooners to discontinue calling. Philippines Case Questioned. Prohibition has cortainly done no| good w the islands. It was unnecessar- | ily applied, contrary to the wish of the people and against their commercial welfare, And the question is asked why prohibition is not enforced in the Phil- ippines. Disillusioned and defenseless, the peo- ple are allowing dislike to supplant their regard for America. They are humil- iated by the knowledge that they are not self-supporting. They did not be- lieve the President of the United States would insult them. Now, in cespair, they are letting their thoughts wander to_their former mother country. If the United States does not adopt quick and conscient’ous means to ie- store her good name in the islends, the result will be serious. The islanders cannot revolt. Th are too peaceful and too few. Ne! T |can they institute a boycott, for ihcy | are too poor. Hold Confidence Betrayed. But the United States will be pointed | to by the West Indies and Europe as | having betrayed the confidence of a trustful le. | e islands had been decad=nt ple, especially those of more n 95 per cent of whom are | commercially inclined, never lost faith in ultimate commercial regeneration, From 1867 the commercial declirz of St. Thomas was steady until 1913, when | there was a large increase in ships en- | tering the port, and the activities cf| several companies, especially th> West Indian and the Hamburg-American Line, gave promise that St. Thomas would come into her own once more But the war interfered, and later, when the Hamburg-American Line had A considerable part of the cargoes formerlfi consisted of rum from the va- rious islands. Prohibition prevented the ing beverages, and thus a heavy blow the islands’ chief means of ce. Before prohibition bay rum was ex- ported in large quantities to Eurcpe and to several of the West Indian Islands, notably Jamaica. Today the prohibi- tion laws demand that the article con- ingredient that will prevent edge of this has caused lands to manufacture their ovm bay rum.

This drew vehement protest, and the Legislature of St. Thomas heid Wash- ington morally responsible for striking & the rool of the chiet source of livel | The islanders sent a_delegation to Washington in 1932.

The first is | the introduction of American taxation. | On the islands, where owners of real estate are often burdened with mort- gage indebtedness and have very little liquid_capital, it goes without saying CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT IMPROVED BY USING SUGAR Sugar Blends Deliciously with Meat Juices and Seasonings | !]| . one of the most inexpensive meat stews to make is the famous Mex- |fcan dish—Chili Con Carne.
