Newfoundland officials seek postwar government form in London talks
A Newfoundland delegation led by Commissioners for Public Health and Welfare and Justice and Defence returns from London where they conferred with the UK Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs Lord Cranborne. They discussed machinery to express Newfoundlanders’ preferred government after the war and a reconstruction plan, with tentative proposals to be reviewed by the Governor in Commission before further exchanges. An Ipswich find and a long verse fragment follow, including local reminiscences and prayers to end with best wishes to Fogo.
