Election
in
Newfoundland
.....
In
1933
the
Newfoundland
Parlia-men
voluntarily
renounced
its
Dominion
status
in
favor
of
government
by
a
commission
appointed
by
the
King.
Now
the
island
is
once
more
to
be
given
the
opportunity
to
decide
what
form
its
administration
will
take.
This
promise
by
Premier
Clement
Attlee
carries
out
the
policy
stated
by
the
Coalition
Government
xin
December,
1943,
now
endorsed
by
the
Labor
Government.
Newfoundland,
which
previously
was
a
fully
self-governing
Dominion,
experienced
financial
difficulties
during
the
depression.
After
borrowing
heavily
for
some
years,
she
found
herself
unable
to
pay
interest
on
her
debts.
A
financial
crisis
developed
in
1933,
leading
to
the
appointment
of
a
Royal
Commission
of
Inquiry.
It
was
after
this
investigation
that
the
Newfoundland
Parliament
asked
Britain
to
take
responsibility
for
her
administrative
and
financial
problems
until
she
could
herself
develop
financial
stability.
Since
that
time
the
island
has
been
administered
by
a
governor
and
six
commissioners,
three
of
them
Newfoundlanders
and
three
from
the
United
Kingdom,
appointed
by
the
King.
r
Dunig;
the
war
the
island
assumed
importance
as
a
naval
and
air
base,
with
consequent
improvement
in
economic
conditions.
Jn,
1941
.she
$'
balanced
her
budget
without
a
grant-in-aid
from.
Britain
for
the
first
time
since
1933,
and
in
1942
she
had
a
surplus
of
$7,000,000.
from
a
total
revenue
of
$23,000,000.
It
may
be,
of
course,
that
this
wartime
prosperity
is
only
temporary.
As
early
in.
1946
as
the
Newfoundland
climate
permits,
a
convention
is
to
be
elected,
with
all
adults
voting.
The
convention
is
to
consider
and
discuss
changes
that
have
occurred
in
the
financial
and
economic
situation
of
the
island
since
1.934,
bearing
in
mind
the
extent
to
which
the
high
revenues
of
recent
years
have
been
due
to
wartime
conditions.
It
is
also
to
make
recommendations
as
to
possible
forms
of
future
government
which
should
be
put
before
the
people
of
Newfoundland
at
a
national
referendum.

.

Fishing
has
long
been
regarded
as
Prince
Rupert's
sheet
anchor
as
far
as
permanent
industry
is
concerned.
When
all
else
failed,
it
remained
active.
With
war
over
and
returning
normal
conditions
making
it
once
again
possible
to
restore
the

and
multifarious

which
go
with
a
fishing
port,
no,
doubt
fishing
will
again
become
an
economic
mainstay
for
the
community.
Even
war
did
not
eclipse
the
increasing
interest
and
plans
for
development
along
modern
lines
of
the
fishing
industry
contiguous
to

Examination
of
the
directorate
of
the
Canadian
Pacific
and
Canadian
National
Railways
may
furnish
a
clue
to
the
neglect
by
thes.e
companies
of
their
coastwise
passenger
fleets,
says
a
Vancouver
Sun
editorial.
The
C.N.R.
hasn't
got
a
western
'
director
at
all
on
its
seven-man
board.
The
C.P.R.
has
one
Hon.
Eric
W.
Hamber
by
comparison
with
ten
from
Montreal
and
five
from
other
cities
in
Canada,
England
and
the
United
States.
Perhaps
these
outsiders
havp
lit
tle,
appreciation
of
the
situation
in
British
Columbia.
Maybe
they
don't
understand
that
the
province
has
already
lost
its
entire
aircraft
manufacturing
industry,
that
its
shipbuilding
industry
is
down
from
28,-000
employees
to
G.00O
and
is
shrinking
rapidly,,
and
that
its
tourist
trade
may
almost
collapse
from
want
of
vessels
and
hotel
accommodation.
These
would
be
important
factors
to
them
if
they
had
any
regard
for
the
welfare
and
prosperity
for
their
one
million
customers
served
by
rail
lines
west
of
the
Rocies.
Instead
of
holding
off
their
shipr
building
programs
until
the
yards
of
ureat
isriuun
are
ready,
tpey
would
be
glad
to
order
the
vessels
fi
nm
trip
idle
yards
of
their
own
country.
They
would
not
wish
to.
see
their
own
fci-low-Canadians
without
jobs,
nor
would
they
care
to
think
of
large
numbers
of
free-spending
tourists,
taking
their
patronage
to
other
playgrounds.
But
that
is
not
the
way
the
matter
stands.
Neither
of
the
companies
has
adopted
such
a
policy.
The
best
statement
of
their
views
was
given
by
R.
C.
Vaughan,
chairman
and
president
of
the
C.N.R.
He
said
oy
telegram:
"Transportation,
which
played
sucn
an
important
part
in
the
(war)
emergency,
will
continue
'to.
ho
vihil
and
the
C.N.R.
may
be
counted
upon
to
carry
on
its
responsibilities
efficiently."
"We
owe
a
debt
of
gratitude
to
the
shipping
and
travelling
public
for
the
understanding
co-operation
given
us
in
the
past
and
it
will
be
our
constant
endeavor
to
merit
its
confidence
in
the
future."
With
these
fair
words
Vancouver
is
expected
to
be
content.
But
it
is
fair
deeds
that
count.
The
C.N.R.
will
"merit
the
confidence"
of
the
public,
discharge
its
"debt
of
gratitude,"
and
"carry
on
its
responsibilities"
when
it
puts
some
new
boats
into
service
and
strives
to
remedy
hotel
space
shortages.
The
same
kind
of
double-talk
indulged
in
by
Mr.
Vaughan
comes
from
D.
C.
Coleman,
president
of
j
the
C.P.R.
He
declares
that
h
is
onm-
pany
"haa
every
intention
of
restoring
the
first-class
service
...
at
the
earliest
possible
date."
His
words
might
seem
to
indicate
that
the
ships
would
be
built
here
at
once
because
that
is
the
quickest
method
of
restoring
the
fleet.
But
his
remark
must
be
read
in
conjunction
with
the
preceding
sentence
to
the
effect
that
the
boat's
will
be
built
"when
and
where
(they)
can
be
most
expeditiously
and
economically
supplied,
taking
into
account
all
relevant
factors."
This
could
mean
anything
or
nothing.
It
is
a
slick
method
of
avoiding
a
definite
promise.
The
pious
sentiments
of
the
railway
presidents
don't
meet
British
Columbia's
demand
for
action
commensurate
with
the
country's
need.
