Democratic Hopes
A few weeks ago the
Democratic Party was in
deep gloom. Every public
opinion poll, every political
observer agreed that Gen
eral Dwight Eisenhower
would win the 1952 pre
sidential race by a wide
margin if nominated by
the Republi-an party Pre
sident Truman announced
he would retire at the end
of his present term, and
that he would not yield to
a draft, and the Demo
rats’ most formidable
potential candidate, Gover
nor Stevenson of Illinois,
steadfastly refused to make
the race.
In the meantime, the
furious slugging match
which has been taking
place between General
Eisenhower and Senator
Robert Taft for the Re
publican nomination has
caused a wide and danger
ous split in the party. The
fight is the most bitter
the Republicans have ex
perienced in twenty years,
and party leaders fear
that no matter who wins
the nomination it will be
impossible to repair the
damage that has already
been inflicted.
Despite the general be
lief that Eisenhower is
the best vote getter in the
coun try, supporters of
Taft, who control the par
ty’s machinery, are deter
mined to nominste the
O h i 0 Senator whatever
the cost, and he already
has a commanding lead in
the fight for delegates.
. The Democrats are in!
Senator Taft’s corner too.
They are certain that if he
becomes the GOP nomi
nee that Governor Steven
son will become the Dem
ocratic standard bearer,
and will easily win the
election. Even if the
Republicans choose Eisen
hower, the Democrats are
hoping that the Republi
cans will fail to achieve
the unijy a n d solidarity
without, which they can
not hope to win.
Our Town and You :
food imports.
‘. Private and governmental
building contracts already let
will require the importation of
many millions o f dollars
worth of materials within the
next few . years which will
come from both the continen
tai United States and Puerto
Rico.
- “'Exports from the Virgin
Islands bave increased mater
ially and a reliable and re
gular steamship service will
definitely help in the
expansion of an export pro
gram. ;
‘““We are aware _hat the
Bull Insular Line, Inc. is the
logical steamship companry to!
render the Virgin Islands the
serviee they need. A closer
cooperation between your
Company and ourselves should
result in an operation mutual
ly satisfactory to everycne.”’
Thus, again, the Chamber
of Commerce demOnstrates to
Our Town and You that the
entire community can join to
gether when a true communi
ty problem needs solving.
