duties in accordance with section 301 of the Tariff
 Act of 1930. (In essence, this raised the foreign
 material content of Virgin Islands manufactured
 products that would be allowed free entry into the
 United States from 20 to 50 per cent.)

 P. All officials of the Government of the Virgin Islands
 had to be citizens of the United States, and an oath
 was provided that had to be taken, before
 commencement of duties, by all senators, officers,
 and employees of the territorial Government.

 Q. The President was authorized to place all matters
 pertaining to the government of the Virgin Islands
 under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior,
 except for judicial branch matters.

 The Revised Organic Act of 1954 was viewed by a number of Virgin Islands'
 residents with mixed feelings. Its new fiscal provisions were expected to, and actually
 did, furnish substantial revenues for the territory. The return of internal revenue taxes
 on articles produced in the Virgin Islands (essentially rum) was substantial. Allowing
 Virgin Islands' residents to pay their taxes locally on income earned in the United
 States provided revenues that previously would have gone to the states from which
 the income had been derived. And the provision for raising the foreign content of
 Virgin Islands' manufactured goods allowed free entry into the United States led to the
 establishment of a number of assembly-type factories. These factories, most of which
 produced watches, thermometers, and textiles, provided employment for hundreds of
 local residents.

 The political provisions of the Revised Organic Act were the disappointing ones.
They included several features that the voters (by referendum) or the political
representatives of the Virgin Islands had asked the Congress to remove: the
appointed governor, the overwhelming power of the Secretary of the Interior, and the
Presidential veto. Also, the requested representation in Congress was not granted.

 Popular opinion was split on the unification of the Municipal Councils into one
Legislature of the Virgin Islands. Most St. Thomas voters agreed with the
Congressional viewpoint that it was an economical and efficient move that would end
the duplications two legislatures in a small territory had created. Most Crucian voters
disagreed, arguing that it would lessen the autonomy of St. Croix, with their
representatives having to travel to the capital, Charlotte Amalie, for meetings. Time
has not changed the St. Croix view.

 Even the supporters of legislative unification were disappointed with its means
of implementation. They noted that the previous total of sixteen legislators had been
reduced to only eleven. They pointed to the very low salary set for the senators ($600
