The article presents an interesting account of a proposed free port at Mortier Bay, Newfoundland, written by a correspondent for the London Times. The legislature of Newfoundland has given sanction to a project containing the germ of a wide expansion of inter-imperial and indeed, international trade. The intention is to create a free port on the continent at Mortier Bay, which shall consist of a transfer point, or ocean clearing house, for goods in transit between the markets of the world. The scheme is based on the geographical situation of NewFoundland and on the advantage of water over rail transport.
