    The office of governor will remain in this Territory until we become independent and as such the deputy governor will act as governor whenever the governor is absent from the Territory or unable to perform his duties. Be it as it may, the citizens of this country MUST develop their minds to become independent at some time in the future. So, what is necessary now is to ensure that we develop an intellectual base and strive for political and economic independence.

    We must start from the nursery schools unto the college level to inform our people that someday the country will become independent and prepare our minds to be on our own. We must not wait to be caught off guard when the British government will tell us that we need to be independent. So, we will continue to have a Deputy Governor who is appointed by the British and so be it. Mr. Archer do enjoy your privilege as deputy governor.
