Since union there have been several occasions in which our organization has assumed great responsibilities. We are reminded of the renovation of the manse and the redecoraition of the church. In these matters and in many others your careful leadership has assisted us greatly in attaining the success we have achieved. For all this we now gratefully thank you. Therefore as a mark of our appre­ ciation we ask you to accept this Hymnary. In the future, as we have in the past, we shall still depend upon your faithful and efficient co-.opera- tionJn all our endeavors for the ad­ vancement of our church.

Prime Minister Hepburn tell® us 'that despite his best efforts the Provincial debt is mounting at the rate of $4,000,000 per month, There are those who say that this state of affairs cannot be mend­ ed. With any such statement we utterly and firmly and reason­ ably disagree. How, it may be asked, is this mounting debt to be stopped? First, by- tjie sane and reasonable refusal to spend a single dollar till 'the money actually is in the bank. We hear someone who is responsible for the province’s steady progress towards bankruptcy shouting “Nonsense!” Our reply is that what we have been -doing is the worst possible form of 'non­ sense. Going into debt at the rate of $4,000,000 per month! Was ever there folly more egrigious? Still another will shout, “What you propose will involve hard­ ship!” We know it will involve hardship. But we reply; that getting and keeping a roof over one's head and paying -one’s way .always involves hardship. Continuing on our present course will, in the end, entail hardship so terrible that our present horrors will be for­ gotten. Wise men see this with white faces. What else? ' And here comes our most valuable suggestion. We suggest that the parliament of the province and the parliament of the Do­ minion invite in for the management of its affairs some of the men who have put Britain on her feet financially. We know what/we are talking about and we challenge all concerned to prove us wrong, Newfoundland mudlea and mixed things 'till at las-t in sheer despair she threw up the sponge as far a® carrying on her business affairs were concerned. Her next step was to ask Britain to do- f-o.r her what we propose should be done for Ontario and for Canada. Now" read the following from 'the London Times, the Weekly Edition of January 31, 1935. The quotation is a long one but the circum­ stances of Ontario and of Canada justify our making it. Rehabilitating Newfoundfland Steady. though of necessity slow, progress is being made in the work of restoring tolerable conditions in Newfoundland, Britain’s oldest Colony, which was driven a year ago to- seek relief from 'the responsibilities of self-government. The Do­ minion Office has issued the first Report of the Commission of Government which was appointed when the two Houses of the Dominion Legislature passed resolutions praying that the Constitution should be suspended and that, until the island c-ould stand on its own feet again, the British Government should be responsible for the administration. These requests followed the Report of a Royal -Commission, appointed by the British, Canadian and Newfoundland .governments, which was almost brutally frank in its exposure -of the corruption of Newfoundland politics, of the financial -and economic demoral­ ization which this corruption has caused, and of the state of destitution and apathy into which the bulk of the population had sunk. What was needed was not merely financial aid, but fi­ nancial aid accompanied by the introduction of an administra­ tive system free from p-olicital and party influences, and able first to relieve the immediate necessities <of the people and then to plan and to- carry through a program of economic re­ construction. The Commission of Government, half the mem­ bers of whom are British and half Newfoundlanders, appointed in accordance with these recommendations has now made what it describes as a “purely interim and provisional report,” which is important as showing the principles upon which it is working. The Commissioners, while laboring to put the finances -of the island upon a sound footing—a task which is only made possible bjr the -debt conversion effected under the guarantee of the British Government—do- n-ot regard them­ selves .as bailiffs for the bondholders, but as trustees for the people of Newfoundland. One -of their first acts,-in fact, was to restore cuts which had reduced salaries and wages bel-ow a reasonable subsistence level, and, aided by loans from the Colonial Development .(Fund, they are endeavouring- now t-o help the islander® to- make a decent living foi- themselves, by utilizing t-o better effect their fisheries, their forests and their agricultural land. Only when economc independence, has been .achieved will it be possible t-o- ask the people of New­ foundland to- resume the financial and administrative respon­ sibilities wlich they found tpo heavy a burden. “iSucli a course w-ohld be humiliating!” we .hear some proud soul declare. There may be a measure of humiliation in calling in a doctor. It is not always-a time for boasting w-hen we must consult a lawyer or an engineer. But it is- better tp call in the doctor before the disease has sapped vitality -and to consult a lawyer before -one is threatened' with litigation. “But we have the brains to run our own affairs!” someone urges. If we have such brains then where, have they been for the last 30 years? AVe had the opportunity of electing men so endowed and that only a few months ago and that after every elector had the opportunity of knowing that affairs financial in this province were not satisfactory. Our men then chosen tell us that we are running behind at the rate of $4,‘000,000 per month! We believe that our elected men have done their sturdy utmost to make our government finances run more satisfactorily, yet ’they tell us that do. their best what they accomplish is but a drop in the bucket. Hence our sug­ gestion of a course that while it may involve a measure of humilia­ tion bids fair to get us -on our feet. Farmer government, T-ory gov­ ernment and Grit government have got us where we are. Why not try British, business .government? Ontario can be put on her feet financially, but not men whose main concern is the ballot box.
