The most critical period of the present difficulty-due 1e failure to obtain underwriters for the Newfoundland eight million five percent untaxable loan appeared t0 be scheduled for tomorrow, when mks will reopen after the Victoria my holiday. Premier Sir Richard Squires and the finance ministry were working dctermlnediy’ to avert s more serious situatio , but there was considerable nervousness l- mong the public where it was gen- miilv believed that only the aid of the British Government could end The crisis. The difficulty arose through fail- Ire to obtain underwriters in Canada. mglsnd and the United States. Bids were invited four weeks slo, but there were no respon s: unpre- cedented event in historyof New- ioundiands self govemment- The closing of tenders for the loan on May 22 resulted in the send- ing oi notice to the Ministry of Fin- ance that no bankers had bid for the loan. The next morning the Bank oi Montreal declined to accept the Govemments checks. The first check was for the railway and dock laborers payroll amounting to more than $500. Later the Govemment‘s current account with the Bunk of Montreal, the ofliclol bank, was ov- erdrawn by about $1,250,000. Govern- ment checics were refused by the lrlde on Bsturday. After s. conf between the Premier and the Minister of Finance, instructions were issued to the Gov- ernment departments to discontinue issuance of L ‘ until further not- ice.

The breathing spell afforded the Government to- day, however, permitted m opport- unity to cairn the fears of the pub- lic and to push on for the solution of the problem. The most serious phase is that half of the yearly ‘interest of $2,337,000 due on the Government's bonus on June 30 had not been provided for. Default of this pcymmt appeared to be inevitable unless the British Government gives aid-which did not seem likely in the immediate future, although such aid might be forth- coming later. The Government's eflortsrtowsrd g solution have been directed toward obtaining a icon of not less than 85. 000,000 ‘in Canada, England, or New York to meet pressing obligations. particularly those falling due at the end of June, when the fiscal your ends. At that time the deficit on the current account will be almost lion on irnated revenue. The fell- ing customs revenue and s. decline in export trade added to the diffi- culty. The national debt totals $90,- 315,000 for a population of 265,000. British underwriters have not tak- en Newfoundland loans since the present Government took omce in November. I928.
