NEWFOUNDLAND FISH

GREAT SUPPLY WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN TAPPED. Kir Edward Morris, Premier of Newfoundland, presiding at a meeting; of the Royal Colonial Institute recently, when Mr. 11. C. Thomson read a paper on "Tho Tmporial Vain* of tho Newfoundland Fisheries,'.' said they had in Newfoundland probably the, greatest-fisheries in •the world, but up to the present- they had only been lapped. The only question now was whether those supplies of fnod were to go to tho United States and Canada or enm& over here. "Wo have the fish. You have Clio money and ships," ne continued. "It is 'up to' you to find the ships and the organisation/' Newfoundland looked to Britain, aided by tho State, to bring about this muchneeded reform. ■ M'lipy did not want assistance from the Exchequer—all they required was co-operation. With that cooperation he was satisfied thnt between now and Christinas Newfoundland would do its part in sunulying tl-e neople of Britain with n cheap, palatable, and nutritious food. Mr. Thomson in his lecture said a home might be found in Newfoundland after, tho war for many of our men. There wmild hf. nlenty of work for all. free land for a homestead, good money to be made, and a comfortable living for those who were not afraid to work.
