_ people of Newfoundland ihortly

was greeted with elation in many quarters here tonight.

The announcement, made sim- ultaneously here and in London today. said the Government had decided the ballot should allow voters three choices.

They were:

l. Retention of the pireeent form of government by com- mission.

ti. Return of responsible self- govoo-riment.

3. Confederation with Oasi- ads.

P. Gordon Bradley, former chair- , man of the National Convention.‘ which voted 29-16 to exclude con- federation from the referendum ballot, declared: a

"There was only ona way to pro- vent a great popular victory for confederation and that was to keep it off the ba.l.lot. But the British Government has shown that it knows what everybody in Newfoundland knows-that people wan-t to vote on the confederation question.

The British Government's act is a triumph of democracy."

Joseph Smsllwood, head of the minority group of pro-confederat- ion me in the Convention. said he bailed the decision as "a victory for the people!"

"They have won their demo- oratl€'"i-lght'tn vote on the coni‘ federation question and they'll know ‘now to use that right in the referendum. There's going to be a resounding victory for confeder- ation."

There was no immediate com- ment from Peter Cashln, leader of the anti-confederation bloc in the Convention and strong advocate

Legislature Hears From Federation Delegation

That all meat packing plants in the Province be declared by the Government to be “works funda- mental to the daily welfare of the people both producers and con- sumers". that legislation be enact- ed “to compel all parties to arbit- rata within s. given period of time" and that "strikes and lock- oruts be prohibited during arbit- ration proceedings." were recom- mendations urged upon the Pro- vincial Legislature yesterday by a large delegation of members and. directors of the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture.

The delegation also urged, in a. prepared brief read by Past Presi- dent R. A. Profltt, Freetown, elim- ination of the property vota in provincial elections. retention of Standard ‘rims throughout the Province. immediate action in the matter of rural electrification, and numerous other measures dealing with a wide variety of farm inter- ests.

“Problem. Ne. s"

Boil maintenance and fertility as “our Number one problem here on Prince Edward Island" was em- phasized in the brief, which stated that this problem can best be handled by a. well balanced ilvs- stock and mixed farming policy. In achieving this goal the Gov-

policies toward general herd im- provement, distribution of better herd sires, use of more economic feedllnl Drwtlces, better soil and conservation methods. and en- couragement in the use of cleaner seed. The brief U-lfldd that careful attention be given to farm drain- age and soil reclamation. of which there is need particularly in cer- tain sections of Prince County. It is asked. that machinery to assist farmers in stumping. draining and. reclaiming new and low-lying lands be made available through the Department of Agriculture. Uncontrolled methods of mark- eting are described as becominl; "more and more expensive and complicated." and it is noted that. there is s. great variation in tho prices paid for the same commod- itlcs produced. at different centres

The carved stone contains n massage ostensibly written by a. party of Vikings in 1802. more than a century before Columburs day.

It relates in Norse characters that a band of Swedish and Nor- wegian explorers had reachedwhat now is Minnesota-and than ran into trouble, presumably Indians.
