GOVERNMENT OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES ST, CilolX e2R ' B n iial [ uliidlibi, TH E 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 p ovide a Civil Government for the Virgin Islands, and for other purposes.” I desire to inform the people of the Virgin Islands that the Government had nothing whatever to do with this bill; was given no opportunity .to comment upon it prior (o its presen- tation to the United States Scnate and, in fact, knew nothing concein- ing it until the printed copy wis re- ccived this morning. [Further, inso- fiil' ¢S ?]m Government i 9 aware, th party or parties who rcquested ena- tor McLEAN to introducce this bill act- ed without the consent and approv- al of the people inasmuch as the people as represented by the two Colonial Councils have not signified a desire for a complete change in the form of government of these islands. The danger of legislation con- cerning the Virgin Islands Leing introduced in the Federal Congress without official backing is only too apparent. Would not this bill, if enacted, endanger the Federal ap- propriativn now made for the ie- lands? Porto Rico, from whose Cr- ganie Act this bill is largely copicd, receives no direct Federal appro- priation. PHILIP WILLIAMS, Governor.
