all the other British possessions or

 Dominion of Canada Is probably part

 CTS have always had in being able 10
 boast that theirs is the senior British colony'-the first Of the children of the

 newfoundland had its settlements as early as the 17th century and was a ull-hedged British colony with governor when Canada was New of the Dutch, and not a single white settler had landed in Australia Newfoundland has a geographical position of great importance. for it | largely blocks the broad gulf into which the St. Lawrence River widens. and which forms Canada's front door from Europe Moreover. NeWfound land is the closest part of North America to the British Isles, being only 1640 miles from Ireland. It is natural that the first trahs-Atlantic cable should have been laid to the shores of Newfoundland in 1858 and that out of r cables now crossing the north Atlantic II first touch American soil either on Newfoundland or it's Atlantic islets. And when in 1919 laeropIanes finally conquered the At i lautic it was from Newfoundland that both the American and the British
 machines took off.
 Newfoundland has an area of more l than 42. GOO square miles. and is there fore practically half the size of Great Britain. Excepting only Cuba. which barely exceeds it in size, # is the l largest island of the Western Hemi- sphere outside polar waters. With ifs cliffs of brown stone rising 200 10 300 feet broken here and there by deep l fjords and bays, Newfoundland has a bleak and barren appearance which bellies conditions in many parts of the rolling. timbered interior. Along a number of the streams are fertile val 1 leys in which agriculture and stock raising flourish.
 Tn late years mining, stock-raising. the manufacture of wood pulp and news print paper. and a'numDer Of other industries have been developed i'll Newfoundland, but throughout it's
 more than 400 years Of. history the cen- tral story of the island might be told 1 in one word: fish. Boston and Mass lachusetts have felt deeply indebted 10 their sacred cod but after all that important creature came from inc Newfoundland bank: and however valuable it has been 10 New England, i 1t has meant much more to Newfound- land 10 Great Britain.
 "A good case would even be made
 for the cod as a claimant for a place on the British coat of -arns: for that lowly fish in q way laid the founda- ton of the world wide British Empire
 Before the discovery of Newfoundland
 Britishers were of little importance as seafarers. The great wealth of cod fish which John Cabot's finding of the island disclosed immediately drew the
 men of the British Isles out of their insularity.
