opments during 1953 were the hydro-electric station at the owen falls in uganda which will be formally opened by the queen next spring and the thermal electric scheme at connaught bridge in malaya the first stage of which has been finished the volta river scheme in the gold coast had been further advanced and the new quays and extension to takoradi harbour were neavly coniplete and the new deep

of which the prime minister of the gold coast has in kenya the vile mau man gangs though increasingly cir cimscribed by the efforts of all races still retard the pace of progress ... in british guiana the ministers who betrayed for an alien communist creed the hopes and trust of the people have been removed and the constitution has been tempor arily suspended he said the arguments in favour of choosing livingstone as the federal capital are supported by a report compiled by a firm of town planning consultants engaged by the council to pre pare an outline development scheme in their report the firm states we know of no other locality within the fed eration where facilities are so readily available for the early establishment of a new capital and at the least cost spoken sir godfrey

now acting quickly to promote the colony's true economic and social needs " this episode has been a grevious set-back but it is one from which british guiana will recover and it will eventually even be the stronger for it — it is estimated that the total ultimate cost of creating the now capital would be about 2.000,000 plus the cost of buildings which would cost another 4.500.000 to 000.000 the
