JOHN'S, Nfld, May 22—Thc Newfoundland national convention today voted unanimously to send a delegation to Washington to discuss trade and “other matters relating to the future economy" of the island colony. The motion to send a delegat- ion. maqe by Albert E. Penney and seconded by Pierce Fudge. first was ruled out of order by chairman F. G. Bradley on the grounds that there was nothing in the convention act to allow the body to deal with tariffs and trade with other countries. Bradley himself then challenged the ruling and said that because it was a. national body he would put a motion that his ruling be over-ruled. ‘this was carried nnl the original motion then was passed. Speaking to his motion Penney said the delegation would ascer- tain from the U. S. possibilities of improving markets for Newfound- land products and had no con- Nfld. To Send Trade To The U.S. nection whatever with political questions. He said Newfoundland had to seek outlets for her products and that he hoped the delegation would be approved by Washing- ton. Such discussions were neces- sary for the future of the islands economy. The convention April l1 rejected a motion to send a delegation to Washington to ascertain under what conditions the colony might reach federal union with the Uri- ited States. The motion has been made by David Jackman and sec- onded by Percy Figary. This latest development followed charges by some delegates who recently returned from London after conferring with British Gov- ernment officials that the delega- tion had been glven a cool recep- tion.
