On January 29, 1948, the National Convention dissolved, and Wainwright Abbott, the American consul in St. John’s, reviewed its performance:

By no stretch of the imagination can it be credited with having achieved with distinction and success its appointed task of considering possible future forms of government and objectively weighing their advantages and disadvantages. With the introduction of the Confederation issue, the Convention was split from the beginning with the issue dominating the debates to the extent of their revolving principally about it and nothing else; their usefulness suffered proportionally. If the Convention has served no other purpose, it has aroused political interest in this country which for 14 years has lived in a political vacuum. It is generally expected that a bitterly partisan campaign will now commence and be waged in preparation for the coming referendum.35
