Circumstances point to this as the first step to further political fusion We should not grumble if the scheme of complete federation is put through at once. Poltical evoluttion in British countries is, quite properly, a matter of slow growth. It may be that later, Barbados and Trinidad would voluntarily join such a union, but obviously these two islands constitutional status were raiswould do so only the general ed. fully developed British Guiana would of course need its own Governor General, but while British Guiana is unde.
