Cooker Predicted all of The Govt,

Statements of Sir Richard Squires’ Chief Lieutenant Indicate the Disposal of Labrador Resources to American Syndicates.

(Canadian Press)

HALIFAX, Nov. 2-The sweep- ing victory won by Sir Richard Squires in the Newfoundland elec- tions of last Monday draws atten- tion to an interview with Sir Wil- 11am Coaker, his chief lieutenant. published in theJ-Ialifax Herald of July '1. i027. in which the fall of the government was predicted.

The disposal of the timber and mineral wealth of the Labrador was intimated and the possibility of Newfoundland joining up with the United States discussed. Sir William was then credited with say- ing: “There is no doubt of a big Liberal sweep, next election. which will give the Liberal union party '15 per cent of the seats."

“The incoming government will probably dispose of the Labrador timber and mineral wealth. Ameri- can interests are active and a fig- ure of 8100909900 is mentioned as reasonable to expect that‘ New- foundland willrecolve."

"It was a mighty good thing for Newfoundland the Quebec govern- ment turned down Premier Mon- roe’s $15,000,000 ofler for the Lab- rador made in 1925. The Quebec government was asleep and appar- ently still dozing. and when it awakes. it will find the whole Lab- rador with its vast timber and min- eral wealth controlled by Ameri- can by dicates."

The interview continues as fol- lows: "Sir when asked about the probabilities of New- foundla -' joining up with Canada said Newfoundland has not forgot- ten Canada's action regarding the Bond-Blaine treaty of thirty years ago. when Canada stepped in and protested to the British Govern- ment, against confirmation of the treaty, negotiated by Sir Robert -Bond, and Secretary of State Blaine.

"Newfoundland is in no humor to consider Confederation with Can- ada. She cannot see where bene- fits to her will accrue. During the past fifteen years a large number of our working men and fishermen. have gone to the United States. seeking employment.‘ and were very successful, consequently ten per cent of our population are contin- ually going to and coming from the United States. and when re- turning generally half _a dozen cousins or nephews with them. This means our people are exceed- ingly interested in‘ Uncle _ Sam's country and if a day comes in New- foundland when the people must decide our destiny. apart from the present constitution. it will be to the United States they will look and not to Canada. Newfoundland will never revert to a crown colony. and. as she is free to choose her own course, is coming round to the idea of a state o the United States.

"At present if a referendum were taken on this subject, it would carry by a 15 per cent vote of the whole electorate not because'she has forgotten the old flog but be- cause the tendenoy of the times is to consider dollars and cent!-

"Newfcundlsnd would never stand by and see the old country tram?- led on. but when the question to be decided means no injury to the old flag and more dollars and cents for her people it is likely the lat- ter feeling will prevail.

"The true destiny of Newfound- land with her fisheries. her forests and mineral wealth liss in the di- rection of the United States.

“The country at present is deep- ly depressed and sadly disavwlni‘ ed over the economic situation. A wealthy American corporation is stepping in the gap to control the forest wealth, and another is de- "Blaming the mineral wealth at the Red Indian Lake and seekins l0 control other valuable mineral - vex-ties owned by the Reid-Ne - foundland Company d unless Cs- nsda wakes up quic y. the Labra- dor timber and mineral wealth will sass to American syndicates who will not hesitate to psy sloosoom for what Quebec refused to take It 815,000,000 only a short time lB°~
