Under the Commission system there was a Governor and six commissioners, three of the latter drawn from Newfoundland and three from the United Kingdom. All these officials were appointed by London, and the Commission, which remained in office until 31 March 1949, had both executive and legislative power. Each commissioner had a portfolio, with the British commissioners occupying the economic posts (Finance, Natural Resources, and Public Utilities). The Commission was established by an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament passed, with the agreement of St. John’s, following the report of the 1933 Newfoundland Royal Commission, which had recommended the suspension of self-government in the Dominion of Newfoundland. This startling turn of events had been brought on by the Great Depression, which had devastated Newfoundland’s markets and public revenues while imposing a heavy burden of public relief. In the view of the Royal Commission, Newfoundland

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
