| Summary: | commission n We therefore recommend that the Newfoundland Government, recognising that it is impossible for the Island to surmount unaided the unprecedented difficulties that now confront it, should make an immediate appeal for the sympathetic co-operation of Your Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom in the adoption and execution of a joint plan of reconstruction, of which the following would be the main features:- (a) The existing form of government would be suspended until such time as the Island may become self-supporting again. (b) A special Commission of Governemnt would be created which would be presided over by His Excellency the Governor, would be vested with full legislative and executive authority, and would take the place of the existing Legislature and Executive council. (c) The Commisson of Governemnt would be com- posed of six members, exclusive of the Governor, three of whom would be drawn from Newfoundland and three from the United Kingdom.
