(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.

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.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN. Gen, Nov. il-The Graf Zeppelin rested t0- night in its home hangar for the first time in many days while its master. Dr. Hugo Eckener. planned mightier and faster lighter-than- air craft for the day when his steam of trans-Atlantic dirigible passenger air service will have be- come a reality. The blond young stowaway‘ Clar- ence Terhune. received almost as much attention as did Dr. Ecken- er. The youth's act has captivat- ed the German imagination and from the time of the ciirigibles sighting there were cries for his ap- pearance. The crcwd was mani- festly disappointed when it was learned he had been spirited out the back door for a conference with the U. S. Consul, John S. Kehl. When he emerged from that, cheering crowds raised him to theil shoulders and thereafter wherever he went he was the centre of an admiring throng. Young Tcrhunc was non-committal as to his in- tentions. and said he must look through his mail first before he could say what he intended doing. “I'm not worried about the ture, though." he said. Passengers on the diriglble were unanimously enthusiastic over their voyage. The only woman aboard Mrs. Clare Adams of Tannersville 9a., asked to rest with the an- nouncement she was "exhausted." but the men, Hans Noldc, of Read- ing. Pa, Donald Casto. of Colum- bus. Ohio, Paul Marko. Brooklyn. and Joseph Jessel. New York. said they had the time of their lives. “We were so excited last night we stayed 'up and played curds as we travelled across France." one of them said. _ Whcn the Graf Zeppelin was brought to her hangar at. 7.06 lll‘ E.S.T.) she had completed a round trip over the Atlantic of more than 10,000 miles lth several record- breaking feat res.

A torch light procession followed the Zeppelin Corporation Banquet and here Dr. Eckener was once more called upon to make an ald- ' dress. l-le described his Newfound- lland experience again and said: , "When we saw those mountains |of ice underneath us, we knew and mecognizcd that the craft of this (old ocean is greater than we had 1 magincd.
