The Famous Bond-EIaine RcciprOci-

fed After Twelve Years
of Waiting

| LONDON, Aug. 23.-Sir Robert Bond,
premier and colonial secretary of New
foundland, has sailed from LIVERPOOL
for Montreal on his way to Washington
with full powers from the imperial gov
eminent to reopen negotiations through
the British charge d'atfaires for the
ratification of the Bond Blaine cons
vention..
The Newfoundland premier has de-
clared himself in favor of free trade
with the United States as against a
union of the colony with the Dominion
of Canada. His success in obtaining
imperial sanction for his present Ameri-
can visit is the elimination of twelve
years of persistent effort, Nnd only this
week was Sir Robert able to convince
the government of the injustice. done
to Newfoundland by the nonratifca-
ton of the convention and secure it's
consent to the resumption df the reci-
procity negotiations '
The premier Of Newfoundland will
lose no time in getting to work, and the
British charge daffaires will communi-
cate with the state department shortly
after the premier's arrival in America.
