cries in the early days.
France sent her fishing fleets from
Brittany. and those sturdy fishermen
acquired, on behalf of their country,
certain rights to which they held tena-
ciously. '"The French shore" was one
of the controversies that vexed both
England and France until settlement
was reached few years ago. when the
two governments were on the point of
collision in Egypt and they undertook
to end their African controversies by
mutual concessions in other parts of
the world as we'll Newfoundland was
included. and the settlement was fairly
satisfactory.
The rights of the New England fish
ernen in the Newfoundland fisheries
also was the subject of acute contro-
versy with the United States for CEN
tury more. These rights came down
from colonial times when New England.
as well as Newfoundland, was British
possession. They related chiefly to the
procurement of bait.
This controversy was ended a few
years ago by arbitration. The arbitra-
ton in the main was favorable to New

Newfoundland's interior resources
consist chiefly of timber, and pulp wood
is by all odds the most valuable of the
timber resources. The government has
carefully conserved this national asset
and has limited the conditions under
which pulp wood may be exported. Lord

n 0EWFOUNDLAND sits at the i'm
MU perial council table in London
Nj in full fellowship with Austria
- " liza, Canada and the other self
governing British colonies. One of the
interesting questions is whether, as the
outcome of that conference, she will be
willing to forego her separate identity
IN the future and become merged into
the Canadian commonwealth. Intima-
tions have been given that this is
possibility.
Newfoundland as a geographical en-
tity fills a pretty large space on the
map. Labrador is the northern extern
sion. and the Gulf of ST. Lawrence and
the Atlantic are the southern boun-
daries. 1t is vast land, but the popu-
lation is clustered along the seashore.
Many persons are in the habit of con-
founding Newfoundland with Canada,
notwithstanding that there is no physf-
cal contiguity. Congressman in the
United States have made speeches in
the House and in the Senate under this
impression. Their ignorance, however.
is no greater than that of British
statesmen, who in parliament have been
in the habit of referring to Newfound-
land as part Of Canada, to the great ir-
ritation of the people of Newfoundland.
Most citizens of the United States
have shared the prevailing misconcep-
tion. At the outbreak of the war
the Newfoundland government required
that all travellers should have pass
ports. and those who were going north
could not understand why a Newfound-
land passport was required and none
demanded in Canada proper, as they
called the Dominion.
Politically, Newfoundland is just as
Independent of Canada as it is physi-
cally 1t is self-governing British
colony, with its own legislative as
sembly and it's own power to fix tariffs
and determine fiscal and other legisla-
tion. In international relations 1t is
subject to the oversight of the imperial
government. since, while it can ne
gotiate, it cannot make treaties effec-
tive until the imperial government ap-
proves them. But n this sense il is on
the same plane with Canada and Aus

When the Sixty-ffth Congress con-

a sharp political fight for the speaker
ship and control; little more than
fifty-seven years will have elapsed
since the previous historic struggle to
place a Speaker of the House in the
chair. That was in the Thirty-sixth
Congress. Since then the civil war
and Spanish American war have been
fought; the unrest leading to the seces-
sion has been followed by the days of
reconstruction and a half century of
remarkable prosperity. In the light
now shed by history that speakership
struggle appears strongly prophetic of
the civil war. Had men been gifted
with provision they would have seen

Today Congress faces a political bat
tie interesting indeed, but an amateur
performance compared to the excite
ment of December, 1859, and January,
1860. A crisis is now upon the world,
but it is none of our own making: in
1853 a crisis was upon this nation
alone, and nowhere was the political at
mosphere more heavily charged or more
ington.
The assembling of that Congress at
tracted scores of political leaders. The
hotel lobbies-Willards, Browns and
the National-were filled with poll
ticians and writers Horace Greeley
of the New York Tribune was one of
the latter. Another political giant on
hand was Thurlow Weed, journalist and
republican mogul from New York state.
These two belonged to the political
firm of Greeley, Weed and Seward, -
stanch republicans and extreme abo-
litionists.
Abraham Lincoln had just been de-
feated for the Senate by the democrat,
Stephen a Douglas: the execution of
John Brown for his Harpers Ferry raid
was the biggest event in the daily
news: and the John Brown incident
had inflamed politics TO an extent utter
ly incomprehensible to the voters of
today.

the fact that the pro-slavery forces
held a constitutional convention at Le-
compton, Kan, and framed a consti-
tuition which was to be submitted in a
way that made Kansas voters accept
the constitution with slavery or reject
it In other words. the pro-slavery

to be admitted to the Union, had the
upper hand at the time, but later the
