THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE DAN
ISL WESTINDIA ISLANDS TO THE
GENERAL STATE EXPENSES.
(From DQg6ladet.)

The Budget Committee of the Lower
House Of the Diet, with Tn. Nielsen as
speaker, has rendered it's report on the
draft of law concerning the contribution
Of the Westindia Islands to the general state
expenses. The Committee would not, at
the present time, express any definite opin-
ION as to how great the contribution should
finally be; but it sees no reason why the
Danish state treasury should suffer q direct
yearly loss from the islands, which would
be the case 1t the present draft were adopt
ed unaltered. For the Superior Admins
tration at home, the state treasury defrays
25,20O Crowns annually & Crown=8
RixdolIe). The. Committee is therefore
OF opinion that it would be equitable not
to exact, Professionally any greater anunu-
al contribution from the islands than one
about corresponding to this expense, and
makes proposals to fix the contribution at
this amount tor the financial years 1875
rs and 1676-77. At the same time
the Committee expresses its regret that
the government has not yet succeeded
in reducing the too heavy admins
tration expenses, which are proper
tlonally much greater than those of the
surrounding English islands. The islands
themselves, as we'll as the Diet, have re-
p.eatedly reminded the government of this
dlsproportlon, wherefore the Committee
expects that the government will endea-
your, by the revision of the Colonial Law,
now under discussion, to give the islands
as much independence as is compatible
with the given constitution lrelation. A re.
torn in the direction stated will, it is hoped,
be OF Importance with respect to the anne
Iteration OF the economical and financial
state Of the islands.
