Congratulations to Captain Victor Gordon on his 1:,ppointment as High

Commissioner for Newfoundland and to the Government of Newfoundland for making so excellent a choice. Ever since Sir Edgar Bowring resigned two years ago Captain Gordon has been "carry- ing on " as acting High Commissioner. After all the hard work that he has given in Great Britain to the interests of our oldest colony it is only right that he should be appointed to the position. Captain Gordon is a New- foundlander by birth and on the right side of forty. * *
