The tremendous importance of the announcement means that the West Indies, except for matters of defense, foreign affairs and financial questions, will enjoy a status almost the same as a dominion like Canada with its own governors, federal officials, ete. Await the Blueprint Sir Arthur Creech Jones, Colonial Secretary, will soon have published the blueprint for the new state for which agitation has been carried on for decades and over which blood has been shed and people put in jail. Following publication of the blueprint, each of the colonies concerned Barbados, British Honduras, Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and the Windward' Islands will debate the proposals.

Said Reginald Pierppointe, Associated Negro Press writer on West Indian affairs and a veteran campaigner for West Indian independence: "While this is a legitimate move toward complete freedom for the West Indies and is the biggest event since George Washington met Cornwallis at Yorktown, it did not come from the masses of the West Indies, the trade unions and the little people. There is still much to be done before we obtain the objectives of all true West Indians for full independence." "There can be no such thing without complete self-government," stated Richard B. Moore.
