Roy Gordon's Report to
Legislative Assembly

My trip to Washington in connection with the consideration
of the bill to grant the Virgin Islands a resident commissioner,
which was authorized by the Legislative Assembly of the Vir-
gin Islands, and for which expenses were to be incurred for a
period of ten days by the treasures Of Saint Croix and Saint
Thomas, actually heightened into a thirty-day stay in Wash

also mixed up at that time
in Washington with the ques-
ton of the right Of the people
in the District of Columbia to
vote the statehood of Hawaii
and the statehood of Alaska.
1t is my sincere belief that
this matter, if handled early
next year, can become an ac-
complished fact. l do not SUBJ
scribe to the theory of defeat
ism, and maintain that if we
keep plugging for a resident
commissioner for the Virgin
Islands that, eventually, we
can get one. A program has
not been followed by the Vir-
gin Islands to get a resident
Congress. The only concerted
effort that has been made to
date was the sending of a dele
gate to Washington by the Lee
gislative Assembly, and the
efforts made by the Youth
Council in trying to get pas
sage of this piece of legisla-
ton If the people Of the Vir-
gin Islands are sincere in de
string a resident commissioner

willing to lend financial aid

Both Of the teams arrived on
the scene of the battle today and

The Old Liners played their

were they did not identify them
