ST. JOHN’S, November 27
Newfoundland’s return to its old ■status as a Crown Colony became virtually assured to-day, as the Government told the legislature its plans were for giving immediate effect to the recoimnoiulations of the Royal Commission that investigated the island .Dominion’s financial and economis position.
“The speech from the throne,” said that sweeping changes in the country’s
Government structure held out a possibility of freedom from unprecedented difficulties.
The Prime Minister, Mr Alderice, declared a suspension of the island’s constitution and it. s substitution by a commission to be in the best interests of the country. There was no debate on the proposals, the legislature adjourning till tomorow, when the debate will begin.
An amendment, calling for a week’s adjournment was proposed from the Opposition benches in the Lower House by Mr F. G. Bradley. It was defeated.
