| Abstract: | Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:- We, the people of Trinidad and Tobago, labour under one principal handicap – our government. Our Ministers assumed the reins of government in October 1950. Theirs was a difficult task. They were untried and inexperienced. They were not members of one party, with a party programme and a stated policy. They came in to find their first budget prepared for them by the outgoing administration. They accepted it. They came in to find an economic programme for them prepared by the outgoing administration. They accepted it. Put in the simplest language, the job which we expected our Ministers to do is so to organise our economy as to provide jobs for our adults and the social services basic to a civilised modem community – schools for the children, houses for the families, water and health for everybody. |
