ST. JOHNS. Newfoundland Decem-
Der 14.--Sir William Coaker, head Of
the Fisherman's Protective Union and
colleague of Premier Sir Richard
SQuires of Newfoundland, in an article
in the Fisherman'S Advocate urges the
sale of Labrador to Canada, or to a
syndicate. for 81 900, ,000, 900.
Sir william urges as necessity for
the sale the payment of the colony's
national debt. He expressed the belief
after the victory of the Squires govern
ment at the polls several weeks ago
that the sale would be one of the
results of the election.
That part of the Labrador Peninsula
owned by Newfoundland is a narrow
strip of land along the Atlantic coast,
extending from the Strait of Belle Isle
to Hudson Strait. It's population is
estimated little more than 10000 peo-
pie, of whom many are Eskimos. The
chief industry of the inhabitants is
fishing. For a long time Labrador was
though to be barren wilderness, but it
has since been found to contain many
valuable resources of lumber and min
erals. The climate is so frigid that
agriculture is virtually impossible ex-
cept at short periods during the Sum-
mer months, along the extreme south
arn coast.
Newfoundland and Quebec disputed
over the boundary line between the
province and the colony for many years
the matter not being settled until 1927
when much of the disputed territory
was awarded to Newfoundland.
