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?

Gr-

ganic Act this bill is largely copied,

priation.
