AN EFFORT WHICH WAS NOT APPRECIATED THE ATLANTIC VOICE little more than a year ago the ATLANTIC VOICE carried several articles on the subject of the efforts of Mr.
NL Nesbath, one of our young Cosatarricans of colour, to have the hundreds of his fellowmen, unpossessed of legal status, declare themselves nationals of the Republic.
His praiseworthy and unselfish endeavours were treated with scant courtesy, by those who should have been most concerned All, buth the first of the public meetings convened by him at some personal exertion and expense, fell flat for lack of support.
Time has crept by. conditions have changed and are still changing, in almost every phase of our life. Events of ouststanding import oceur continually, and a large majority of those who did not heed Mr. Nesbeth appeal find themselves now confronted with serious difficulties. They see themselves tossed about on a tempestuous sea of disappointment and regret. They see themselves a people devoid of a country, a group without a vestige of national rights.
Aliens, strangers, wherever they be.
What a deplorable condittion. What a sorry plight in which to find oneself at such a time as this, when, even in our somewhat isolated surroundings and limited activities, the need of a recognized nationalism is ever present. Howe ver, all may not be lost. There may still be time to remedy the difficulty, the unfortunate error, but the situation brooks no delay. We therefore, URGE all who were born in this counrty of West Indian parents to immediately see about getting themselves constitutionally indentified as NA TIONALS, entitled to participate in all the privileges accorded by the political constitution of our truly, democratic Republie.
