We the undersigned, therefore, urge that a plebiscite be held over the entire territory that comprised British India on the question of its partition into India and Pakistan.

The willingness of people to create unitary state was proved by the results of the referendum held in June, 20, 1961 over the entire territory of Somali Republic on the draft constitution of the unitary state.

At that time, no government existed in the Oregon Country, as no one nation held dominion over the territory.

During the years that it took for the capital's infrastructure to slowly develop, most of the civil service remained in Fort Smith for many years and the governing Council continued its practice of holding legislative sessions all over the territory for a number of years.
