“I am, however, opposed to the parochial vote for women because I am afraid it will lead to universal suffrage, which I feel will be detrimental to Bermuda. No country has been improved by universal suffrage.”—The Royal Gazette, May 30, 1938 “It is my strong recommendation to the coloured race to be reasonable. The American visitors do not expect anything but what they find. If we should ever attempt to precipitate a change ahead of opinion in the United States, it would be the surest way to starvation that we know.”—The Royal Gazette, March 10, 1953 “I am satisfied that what is now taking place in Bermuda will further the legitimate interests of coloured people so that their share of community prosperity, while now large, will, within a short time, conform even more closely to population proportions.” - Speech to the Canadian Club, Montreal, February 17, 1969 (Report carried in The Royal Gazette, February 18). “One of the ways in which we can be in contact—people of our two races—is to integrate primary schools. Children at the age of five, when they go into the government school system, are without prejudice.”—The Royal Gazette, February 6, 1971 |
