Amalgamation of Colonies In the West Indies
REPORT OF COMMISSION British Official Wireless. Received Sunday, 7 p.m. RUGBY, Aug. IS. The report of the Commission, consisting of Sir Charles Fergusson (chainnau), Sir Charles Orr and Sii MacNcill Campbell, of the Colonial Office, which has been dealing with the question of a closer union of the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, recommends that the islands forming the colonies of Leeward and Windward islands be united into one colony under a governor with headquarters at St. Lucia. The report states that whatever advantages may have accrued from the amalgamation of Tobago with Trinidad, the former has always been a financial burden to Trinidad since the amalgamation, and Trinidad is strongly averse from embarking on more experiments in the direction of a closer union with the other islands.
