Thomas they say tits only right and fairy ohGe should pays; the question rises under the discus
sion fa Joint Ordinance in which both Committees are concerned; here" there's decidedly case

any other possible wy of getting over the ddemmA II considers the o ConcIS& two parties
in opposition to eah other in matter concerning den jdndy. The says that IN such cases case
the Government may propose hta Joint Committee be appointed TneC Committee has in its Re
port recommended hes m course and the Chief Government had already consented to it, and in
the Council appoint 3 Members join an equal number from ST Thomas When the honorable
Spokesman enhOnol the new Colonial Lay aOn incident that would warrant the OapOnement of
final decision this natter he could nOtse taw vas quite correct. Veal knew that a new Co
omI Lay would be proposed ant laid before bOhC Councils for their considerations, and We knew
aheadyf from the statements the Govemmm what the DItof tHt Colonial Law would contain
that respect Now it would scarcely be neoe@ay for hno draw attention t0he circumstance
that the Colonial Law vii have to be decided by the Diet while the Councils will only be having
TO give their opinions sand state their views; he would advise this Council motto compel the Diet to
decide on questions that can be avoided bdngu submitted to them;-mIhOw0vr strong the opinions

we would by 10 6he Colonial Law be- having it decided whether we are to haWa Superior Ma
