10 ESCAPE RAPAG|IY
Of Her Own and the Oomin-
ions Politicians
NEWFOUNDLAND Is READY
To Consider Annexation Pro-
posaIs From Uncle Sam.

Marshall. Mich, May u.-Rt. Rev. Bish-
op Hawley, Of st. Johns, n. F.. admins
tered confirmation in ST. Marys church
today 10 a large class. In an interview
Bishop Hawley said: The puoiic senti-
ment OF Newfoundland is more IN Iavor
Of annexation TO America than of can
federation with Canada. This feeling mas
been accentuated by the fact that the
country has been recently betrayed and
drawn into a most shameful railway con-
tract by a Canadian syndicate and Cana
dian politicians. Il amounts 10 a virtual
swindling Of the country out Of a SIS. 90, 90
railway, and all our coal, minerals, forest IS
and agricultural lands. A desperate fight
for our freedom is now imminent. Tie
local parliament opens today and it is be-
neved the government will be defeated al d
the contract broken up. l do not believe
there is any immediate prospect Of the
settlement of the French shore question.
The complication arises not from any m
trinsic difficulty in the case, but because
politicians have always thought Of I ratte-
as means of exploiting their own popu-
larity, than of relieving the country Of the
grave burden of the French aggressiors.
