Commission Government, it. said, had been totally repudiated in the first referendum and had "sub- seguentiy prejudiced its position as impartial arbiter through the intervention by two of its mem- bers as spokesmen for the confed- eration cause.”

Consummation of the confederat- ion before the negotiation of terms or understanding of financ- ial and economic impact on New- foundland people and industry, the League said, “is neither sound nor just and creates a. source of bitter controversy in the future."

The independent Evening Tele- gram said editorially that the out- standing fact was that though the electors had been twice afforded the opportunity, they‘ showed that. they did not favor responsible government.

The newspaper added: "It (the Telegram) seesno purpose in re- criminatic/n and the keeping of old sores open. The outcome rep- resents the will of a majority of the people. To disregard the ex- pressed wish of 77.295 would be to invite trouble. Acceptance of the verdict will avoid dissention and division."

On the other hand the pro- responsible government Daily News said "it would probably be a wise gesture on the part of the Canad- ian Government to prefer that a decision to enter union should ccvne from a parliamnentary major- ity in this island. since that would dispose of the important argument that terms negotiated after com- mdt-nent can never be satisfact- ory."

Chelley A. Crosbie. leader of the party standing -for economic union with the United States. admitted that economic union had been sup- "ceded by the issue It hand. “We are bound to; have confed- oration eventually but our own government should negotiate "any terms and get a better deal. he so
