GOVERNMENT OF THE ; VIRGIN ISLANDS ‘OF THE UNITED STATES | St. CROIX | 2gs 1 * 1 § Oificiai Publicaiion. THE mail arriving from Continent- | al United States today brought | a copy of Senate Bill No. 2785, in- | troduced in the Senate on March 10, | 1924, by Senator Mc LEAN of Con- nectizut by request. This’ bill is en- | titled: “A Bill to provide a Civil | Government for the Virgin Islands, | and for other purposes.” I desire to iniorm the people of the | Virgin Islznds that the Government | had nothing \: hatever to do with this bill; was given no opportunity .to | comment upon it prior to its presen- | taticn to the United Stales Senate | and, in fact, knew nothing concern- | ing it until the printed copy was re- | ceived this morning. lu:ther, inso- far as this Government is aware, the party or varties who requested Sena- | tor dicLEAN to introduce this bill act- ed without the consent and approv- al of the people inasmuch as the | people as represented by the two | Colhnial Councils have not signified ‘; a desire for a complete change in- | the form of government of these | islands. g The danger.of legislalion con- | cerning th: Virgin lslauds being | introduced in the i"ederal Congress ; without official backing is only too | apparent. Would not this biil, if enacted, endanger the Federal ap- i propriation now made for the is- lands? Porto Rico, from whose Or- i ganic Act this biil is largely copied, ; receives no direct Federal appro- priation. i PHILIP WILEIAMS, = Governor. THE ST.
