Contacted by telegram with the Boston consulate, Alan Wilson was submitting an analysis report to London on Truman's re-election.
In terms of hindsight, Alan Wilson could have used the final result to repeat it in the form that farts make sense. What's more, when he went to the United States last time, he already stated in the telegram that Truman would not give in so easily.
.
The Democratic Party of this era had two characteristics. The first was due to Roosevelt's New Deal, which led opponents to believe that it was too close to the Soviet Union. The second was a legacy of history, which was the Civil War. The Democratic Party was the party that supported slavery.
However, because Truman's support rate was very low this time, two candidates with supporters of the Democratic Party ran separately, which diluted the Democratic Party's pro-Soviet and racist overtones and deprived the Republican Party of two grounds for attack.
"This election can be regarded as the most important election after the war. It is of decisive significance. We can make a judgment that the Republican Party, which has been strong after the Civil War, has become history. The two parties are now on the same level." said
Maybe the Republican Party will change its thinking and reshape American politics."
At the end of the telegram, Alan Wilson stated that his duties as Chief Executive of Newfoundland had actually ended. After dealing with the Newfoundland issue, he would fulfill another of his responsibilities, which was the diplomatic work that he had concurrently undertaken when he came to take office.
This report also aroused discussion in the cabinet. Prime Minister Attlee had read the telegram that Truman would not admit defeat. In fact, given the current situation, Britain is of course also concerned about the US election.
After all, among the major candidates, whether Dewey of the Republican Party or Wallace of the Progressive Party, they all opposed the Marshall Plan, and the Democratic Party's electoral prospects seemed to be poor.
It's just that Attlee is obviously not as caring as Mr. Chang. Using American money to do American things is the real winner from thousands of miles away.
"Dear Prime Minister, this is the executive order signed by Allen, regarding the five-nautical-mile no-fishing zone plan for Newfoundland fisheries. At present, it seems that this executive order will definitely be passed after the parliament restarts. The citizens of Newfoundland seem to
Looking forward to it.”
Norman Brooke took an executive order, placed it in front of Prime Minister Attlee, and said at the same time, "Allen said that he has finished handling all matters in Newfoundland and established three collective enterprises as Newfoundland's
The pillar of economic development has taken advantage of Newfoundland's special environment and status to formulate policies similar to three-ring diplomacy. Since taking office up to now, Newfoundland's fiscal deficit has been cleared, and now I can leave office with honor."
"More than ten million dollars in debt!" Prime Minister Attlee couldn't help but sigh. Although this is not comparable to the debt of the British mainland, it also shows how successful Alan Wilson was as the chief executive.
For comparison, just after Attlee came to power, Canada's US$1.2 billion in loans was roughly equivalent to more than twice Newfoundland's per capita debt. However, this chief executive cleared Newfoundland's debt in less than a year.
, too awesome.
Countries in Europe are rebuilding, which means that from now on, Newfoundland and beyond will make a net profit from transporting timber.
Prime Minister Attlee really wanted to say something in his heart, envy! I am really envious. The UK has only repaid its short-term debt. Of course, compared with the huge debt of 3.7 billion pounds when he first came to power, the current situation is much better.
Already.
Attlee was preparing to announce the end of rationing two months later on New Year's Day, 1949. "Norman, in fact, Allen can complete his term in Newfoundland. The diplomatic work also includes the ambassador to the United States and the United Nations."
Share.”
"He thinks life in Newfoundland is very boring!" Norman Brooke shrugged helplessly. "The population of Newfoundland is indeed a bit sparse, even less than the population of Australia. And the current weather is cold, and he himself is not willing to live there.
I’m so confused now that I want to go to Boston to try my luck.”
"Well, whether the administrative order of the five-nautical-mile no-fishing zone is passed is the local council's own business." Attlee pondered for a moment and said, "The royal territory is autonomous. In principle, London will not interfere."
At this time, Alan Wilson was ready to pack his bags and leave. This was no secret. Thanks to his achievements after taking office, many people still visited the Governor's Mansion, but since the referendum, Smallwood has disappeared.
According to rumors, Smallwood is preparing to immigrate to Canada. Alan Wilson does not know whether this news is true or false. If it is true, then this matter is very ill-considered. If Smallwood really immigrate, he will only
Let the citizens of Newfoundland believe that Smallwood is really a Trojan horse planted by the Canadians.
I am even more disgusted with Canada's behavior psychologically, which is not a good thing for Canada's future relations.
"Gentlemen, thank you for coming to stay. But I really have another job. Being the chief executive is a part-time job. I am also the consul in Boston. It's just that my work in Newfoundland is more important, so I have stayed here. Currently, Newfoundland's
The situation is on track and I have nothing to do after the parliament reopens."
Speaking of which, Alan Wilson took out a telegram and said, "As for Newfoundland's five-nautical-mile no-fishing zone proposal, London has stated that it will not interfere and will wait until Parliament reopens to pass it."
"Are you so anxious? Chief Allen, in fact, although you have only been in office for a short time, you are very popular with the citizens, so you are leaving in such a hurry." One of the committee members expressed reluctance.
"This is not my fault, but the extensive colonies of the British Empire, which played a role in optimizing integration. Newfoundland lacks manpower to develop resources. Just half a world away, we have a reliable labor force to carry out this work. The largest
The problem is that we all know in our hearts that it is not that simple for peoples with different civilizations to work together. Fortunately, supervision measures were in place and calm communication prevented accidents."
Speaking of this, Alan Wilson emphasized, "As for the salary issue, I believe that the committee members or congressmen will not let me worry about it."
"Of course not. We also understand the benefits of this to Newfoundland." The committee members present nodded and said that they would never delay wages.
"That's good, Newfoundland is really a good place. In the future, the citizens here will become the envy of the world, and I have no doubt about it." Alan Wilson said with great relief.
He has already set a date for his departure, and the remaining time is for him to negotiate with the local elite.
In fact, the royal territories have unique constitutional status and have their own judicial and taxation systems. The United Kingdom is responsible for the diplomacy and defense of these royal territories. The British royal territories in later generations are just three small islands in the English Channel. They are not as big as Newfoundland.
A piece of royal territory?
Regarding the fight for the status of the royal territory, Alan Wilson said not to be anxious, and pulled Smallwood out to whip his body, saying that a person who is anxious will do irrational things. Mr. Smallwood was just because he was anxious.
I made an impulsive choice, which should be taken as a warning.
"Maybe there will be a place for you in the future House of Lords." Alan Wilson put his chin on his hand and said in a joking tone, "The House of Commons is full of troubles, and those political parties are very reluctant to see their seats reduced.
."
"Oh, really?" Many committee members looked happy. It is true that the House of Lords is a place for nobles, but they are not members of the British House of Commons, and they are not averse to the grave of politics.
"Everything can be fought for. This is also our British tradition, isn't it?" Alan Wilson said noncommittally.
On November 5th, three days after the results of the Newfoundland referendum were announced, and two days after the results of the US election were announced, Alan Wilson packed his bags as he had come, carrying his bag like a migrant worker about to enter the city, and set off again.
journey.
There were already people standing at the door of the Government House. Someone read out the statement of the Newfoundland Committee and asked Alan Wilson to sign it, "The Newfoundland Committee, confer Mr. Alan Wilson as an honorary citizen of Newfoundland. Newfoundland is your home. Welcome."
Our governor comes back often to visit."
"Thank you, glorious citizen of Newfoundland, for granting me this honor." Alan Wilson, who was carrying the bag, raised one hand high and clenched it into a fist to express his gratitude to the citizens who came out to see him off.
"Sign it, sign it!" Many citizens shouted on the streets of St. John's, hoping that Alan Wilson would sign the last executive order.
"Okay, let's use power for personal gain today." Alan Wilson laughed loudly, took out the statement, took out a pen and signed the executive order involving himself, and then shouted, "I can get a benefit in Newfoundland."
I am particularly proud of the opportunities that society has given me. Dear citizens, farewell..."
"Goodbye, Governor!" Countless people on both sides of the street waved their hands to bid farewell to Alan Wilson, the chief executive who had been in office for less than a year. Alan Wilson kept waving until he arrived at the dock and boarded the ship.
"Is there a big shot on board our ship?" Some crew members on this British ship whispered to each other, gaping at the sight that extended from the dock to the city.
"I heard that he is the governor of Newfoundland. This kind of bureaucrat is so popular?" One of the crew members was amazed. Seeing Alan Wilson boarding the ship carrying a bag, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Would you like a drink?" Seeing these crew members looking at him strangely, Alan Wilson took the initiative to invite them, saying that he still had some water of happiness in the world in his backpack.
The freighter is heading towards Boston, and Alan Wilson is about to start a new job, which can also be described as moving from one victory to another.
