AN ORGANIC ACT

AN ORGANIC All
CONGRESSMAN Crawford met with a number of citi-
zens, for the most part heads of departments, civic groups and
Councilmen on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday with mem
bers Of the Municipal Councils Of St. Croix and St. Thomas.
The meeting with the Comcilmen was in private however,
at the Tuesday meeting a number of citizens gave their views
on the proposed new Organic Act for the Virgin Islands.
While it is neither necessary nor advisable to 60 into details
as to what was said at these informal meetings, it seems ap-
propriate to mention the highlights.
MEMBERS OF the Council took occasion to inform the
Congressman that a committee had been appointed by the
last session of the Legislative Assembly for the purpose of
recommending provisions which could we'll be incorporated
into the new Act. 1t was suggested, among other things, that
the office of Administrator for St. Croix should not be
abolished, that the first elections for representatives should
not take place this Novnber. Citizens in general either re-
iterated what had been said by the local legislators, or added
points along the same lines.
H METHOD of conducting public hearings, informal
though they may be, on matters of vital concern to the pub
lie is truly the democratic way. The Organic Act is really
our constitution, and is the legal basis for our political and
administrative existence. When the first organic act was writ
ten, giving a form Of civil government to the Virgin Islands,
conditions were different, and while the Act then served its
purpose, vet with the passage of time and significant changes
it became increasingly clear that changes would be necessary.
AND IT is proper that a new Organic Act be written,
particularly where it seems that the amendments necessary
would in fact amount to a new act. The young American ma
ton faced this same problem, and it is for that reason that
the Constitution of the United States was written flexible
enough and in general enough terms to fit changing condi
tons. Yet, amendments became necessary, and since l776
some 81 of these have been passed. Our Organic Act should
take the same general form. Above all it should expressly pro-
vide that the rights, privileges and guarantees provided in
the US. Constitution apply directly to these Islands.
