Last year when legisla
tion to create the Virgin Is
lands oftice of information
in Washington was intro
duced i n the Legislative
Assembly ofticials of the
Department of Interior took
a hostile view,and it w a s
indicated that the islands
were receiving f ro m the
Department more repre
sentaticn than they could
possibly get from -t h e es
tablishment of a n y inde
pendent office The bill
was not passed because the
legislature could not agree
on the appropriatign that
would be required and
whether it would be possi
ble to find the money imme
diatcly. It is expected that
these obstacles will be over
come during. this session
of the Assembly and th el
measure adopted. Os
course, in view of the hos
tility of the Department of
Interior, itis a * foregone
conclusion that the Gover
nor will veto the measure,
and the legisiators are pre
pared to override the veto.
Indeedthe Virgin lslands‘
cannot afford to have an
elaborate set-up in the Ca
pital. That is notnecessary.
What is needed is a com
petent man of high charac
ter, who is known and re
spected in Administration
and Congressional circles,
and who has the interest
and the resourcefulness
that will be required to do
an effective job. The is.’arvd!
of Guam has such a man ml
the person of former Con
gresman J. Hardin Peter-{
sen of Florida who, be-
cause of his former con
nections, has been able to
win sympathetic consider
ation for that territory.’
. The Department of In-
Iterior is not «(quipp d to
effectively represent these
islands. No territory but
the Virgin Islands wholly
depend on Interior for re
lpresentation in Washing
ton.
We cannot afford to wait
! until Congress amends the
organic act to provide for
‘a resident commissioner.
