It has been used in dlf-J (treat parts of the world to mean any-j thing from a beach to a whole ooioor. ! Whatever territory it was considered to ! embrace was given back to Quebec in ; ,774 and restored again to Newfoundland its IMS The population consisted then. as it consists today, of a few hundred 'Indians and trappers whodweUlng along tbe coast and inlets, make espedltloBM . inland, to trap fur-bearing snlmala. Consequently, neither the Newfoundland government nor that of Quebec has at-, tempted to maintain any effective administration, though the Newfoundland 'oame Lawsiwere enforced ' I (IKMT KIOl KCI.S I Interest first began to be taken fh the area in the nineties of toe last century Tbe growing world demand for paper pulp brought a new value to Southern Labrador Some 60.000 square miles out of tbe 110.000 are areas of ; forest growth, rich In spruce Umber The . lint parUes to seek grants from tbe !

The Quebec got eminent warned a party to whom a grant had been msde that they would not be allowed to cut tbe wood, and sent a grnrrnment ship and aelred all tbe logs The lawsuit arising out of this inrtdent was stayed by counsul, and it was agreed to seek the deolatoa of the Privy Counell. who had been de dared the proper authority by the Colonial Boundaries Act of IBM.

It Is estimated that the available wwter power n tile disputed area Is equal to half the total water power, some 7.000 000 p. at the disposal of Quebec. , The provnee had. therefore, a strong tddtional interest In urging her claim when t the end of the war, the question again became prominent. With experts fixing date some twenty years exhaustion of her Hence as msTkng the present lorest resources, with the In--reaalnn demand from the United States foj wster power, and the prospect that electricity would mxke quest i ant of du- tance leu and less Important In its utilization, there was every ground for seeking to obtain a legal title. The Ottswa government stood behind Quebec, and found the money for the action. New- jfoundland showed an equally keen In-tention of holding an Increasingly val- uable possession, and In the clrcum-, stances the attempts to settle the ques- "on by buying Newfoundland out have not come within sight of success. ; .tKi:i iiiavv kick ' j The most serious cf these efforts was 'made two years ago by the Canadian I government. Newfoundland asked 8.-1 000.000 for the territory and territorial , wfttert. with a guarantee of full fishing right. Alternately tbe offered to will tbe hinterland for half that sum. The! offers which the Canadian government! made did not approach either of the figures. The Canadian attitude was that ,tse post -mar finances of the Dominion did not permit of a high offer, while Newfoundland public opinion has strongly supported It government. It : H recalled In Newfoundland that Alaska. which has so much In common with Labrador, wss sold 59 year ago by Rus- jsia to the United State for a sum (CI,- 400.000) which seems today the merest! trifle compered with the manifold forms of wealth which Alaska has since been found to yield. Alter the failure of these negotiaUont, It was agreed in a most amicable spirit to carry the question to tbe Privy Council with as little delsy as might be. With so much turning on tbe word "coast," It became of the highest interest to the parties to prove that the hinterland was or was not a "marine area." The forms of life, geological formations, tbe characteristics of tbe riven, and every tide of natural history were found to have a bearing on tbe case. Libraries and museums have accordingly been ransacked, and expert witnesses have been summoned, not only from Oreat Britain. Canada and the United States, but also from Norway and Sweden. This testimony has been collected Into eight stout volumes containing over 4.300 pages of evidence. I.EVIXomKNT IIKIJi II In the meantime the development of resource in the area bat been held up. A Canadian geological survey reported that there were vast deposits of coal in tbe north, but various syndicates that have wtabed to obtain powers have found no authority with whom tbey could eooiidently deal. The actual coastline of Labrador is not ha dispute. It belongs to Newfoundland. But there Is an influential party j In Canada which I anxious, whatever tbe decision of the Privy Council on tbe hinterland, to acquire some, at any rate, of tbe coastline by purchase. The United States possesses certain rights on the coast, guaranteed by treaty in 1818. i which promtaed that American citizens should fish at will east and north of Hoot Jolt and be entitled to land on sunsettled part of the coast to dry! and cure what they had caught ARMISTICE DAY fAXAIllAX l.i:HO IIKI.lt IIAMJITT IX IIOHTOX IIU.L LAST LVENINO to oitoi.im: Mi.MiiKAiii.i: AXMVKKSAKV The annual Armlatlce Day banquet under he auspices of the Canadian Legion (formerly Oreat War Veterans' As-sod at km ) took place last night in tbe Boston Hall.
