Public Asked For Views
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva. Oct. 24.
THE public of the Colony—European, Fijian, Indian and other commun ities—have been invited to submit views on a constitutional change to give
the people “a greater measure of political control over their own affairs.”
The invitation has been issued by Mr.
A. A. Ragg, chairman of the committee of unofficial members set up as a result of the recent motion in the Legislative Council recommending the appointment of such a body to investigate possible changes in the Constitution.
This is not a referendum. Reasons for
opinions must be given and the com mittee will not consider any communica tion recommending the retention of the present system, or a change if reasons are not given.
