4th Member fer Frederiksted Coun-

Chairman. When you 20 out to the peo-
pie to take a p'ebiscite you certainly
have to put something tangible before
them. You don't want 10 go 10 them
and say you want a change fer the
worse. No, you want to talk to them
about a change for the better. and it
you do who is going to see that thy get
something better2 The honorable 7st
Member fer Fre1eriksted Town is talk
ing for himself and the other ~sCitors,
but it is my earnest belief that the peO-
PIE in the country do not know whether
the change would be for the better or
for the worse. / spoke to many of the
people in the country about this matter
and the question was invariably asked
waeth the change will bring work, so
that they can cam a daily bread. / can

people who know what the change would

quotes from the Resolution the following:

That's all he read, but the paragraph
goes on to say. which he did not read:
After they have given deliberate
thought to the subject and have pro-
posed a measure embodying adequate
provisions to care for special local con-
diti0ns "
The speaker continuing, Can any one
show me what there is in the resolution
introduced by the Honorable 2nd Mem

take care Of conditions Ia this island !
The people would not know what they
would be voting for it this resolution IS

voted for it, practically UNANIMOUSLY.
