Newfoundland's Pride in Senior

DATES BACKTO 17TH CENTURY

Washington. Renewed discussion
by tliu neighbors of the United States
to tilt; north of the desirability of New
foundland's becoming u part of the
Dominion of Canada raises a point
upon which probably many Americans
uro hazy that there are two distinct
British realms, not one, In the portion
of North America above the Canadian
bolder. Newfoundland and Its rela
tions to Canada are brought out In
the following bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Ccographlc society.
"Sentiment plays Its part In history
and historic geography," says the bulle
tin, "and the fact that Newfoundland
lias Insisted on standing alone while
till the other British possessions of
North America have united to form the
Dominion of Canada Is probably partly
duo to the pride that Newfoundlanders
have always had In beng able to boast
that theirs Is 'the senior British col
ony' the llrst of the children of the
motherland to make Its home beyond
'4 ho seas.
Dateo Back to 17th Century.
I "Newfoundland had Its settlements
us early as the Seventeenth century
Vatl was a full-fledged British colony
with a governor wlien Canada was
X'ew France, South Afrlcu was In the
finnds of the Dutch, and not a single
whlto 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,
nnd which forms Canada's front door,
from Europe. Moreover, Newfound
land Is the closest part of North
America to the British Isles, being
only 1,010 miles from Ireland. It is
natural that thu llrst trans-Atlantic
cable should have been laid to the
nhores of Newfoundland in 1858 and
that out of tho 17 cables now crossing
tffe North Atlantic 11 llrst touch Amer
ican soil either on Newfoundland or Its
neighboring islets. And when in 1010
airplanes llnally conquered thu Atlan
tic it was from Newfoundland that
bo'th the American and the British ma
chines took off.
"Newfoundland has an area of more
than -12,000 square miles and Is there
fore practically half the size of Great
Britain. Excepting only Cuba, which
barely exceeds It In size, it Is the
largest island of the western hemi
sphere outside polar waters. With its
clltTs of brown stone rising 200 to 300
feet, broken here and there by deep
fjords and bays, Newfoundland lias a
bleak and barren appearance which

400 Years of Fishing.
In late years mining, stock raising,
thu manufacture of wood-pulp and
newsprint paper, and a number of
other industries have been developed
In Newfoundland, but throughout Its
more than 400 years of history tho
central story of the Island might be
told in one word fish. Boston and
Massachusetts have felt deeply In
debted to their 'tiiicrcd cod,' but after
all, that Important creature came
from the Newfoundland banks; and
however valuable It has been to New
England, It has meant much more to
Newfoundland and through New
foundland to Great Britain.
"A good case even could be made
