A rumour, from what is described as an exclusive secret source reached Mr Barton a few days ago, that the suggestion has been made that the difficulty over the Newfoundland French shore question should be settled by the handing over to France the British rights in the New Hebrides iu exchange for French concessions in Newfoundland.
