Roosevelt settles Virgin Islands feud by moving two officials to Washington
President Roosevelt ends the Virgin Islands controversy by transferring Paul M. Pearson from civil governor to assistant director of housing in the Interior Department and Judge T. Webber Wilson to the federal parole board in Washington. The move follows a long running clash over island governance and funding, with critics calling for long term policies and improved administration. The piece notes Congress has funded the islands for 18 years without lasting results and comments on the strain of a lengthy session and renewed lobbying in Washington.
