CROIX ' 58 8 € Officiel Publication Ui Uil | ! e e | THH mail arriving from Continent- | al United States today brought | a copy of Senate Bill No. 2786, In- ' troduced in the Senate on March 10, | 1924, by Senator Mc LEAN of Con- % necticut by request. This bill is en- | titled: “A Bill to p:ovide a Civil ' Government for the Virgin Islands, . and for other purposes.” ' Idesire toinform the people of the | Virgin Islands that the Government ' had nothing whatever to do with this . bill; was given no_ opportunity .to - comment upon 1t prior o its presen- | tation to the United States Senate | and, in fact, knew nothing concern- | ing it until the printed copy was re- | ceived this morning. Further, inso- | far as this Government isawaie, the | party or parties who requested Sena- | tor MCLEAN to introduce this bill act- ' ed without the consent and approv- ' al of the people inasmuch as the | people as represented by the two | Colenial Councils have not signified | adesire for a complete change in i the form of government of these | islands. | The danger of legislation con- . cerning the Virgin Islands being | introduced in the IFcderal Congress % without official backing is only teo apparent. Would not this Lill, if . enacted, endanger the Feder:l ap- . propriation now made for the is- ' lands? Porto Rico, from whose Gr- | ganic Act this bill is largely copied, 1 raceives no direct Federal appro- priation. PHILIP WILLIAMS, - Governor.
