made to run and dance to pistol

prevents a mass exodus is the

East Indians, who make up

only the three seats in George

The United Democrats won the
other elective seat.
In addition to the Il elective
council places. three colony on

are ex-officio council members.
Gov. Renison can also appoint
up to IL members. either at
one time or as he thinks nec-
esSary to control legislation.
The British governor has not
indicated what course he will
follow on appointing council
men. The power gives him an
upper hand, however, since he
can pack the council with anti
Jagan men If he desires.
