CALL ATLANTIC
WATERWAYS MEET

Official call for the fifteenth an
nual convention OF the Atlantic Deep
er Waterways Association. at Port
land. Ne. September - to as, has
. been received by members residing
in Wilmington and by the Chamber
of Commerce. L. 5. Senator l..
/, Heisler Bll is State vice-presldent
representing Delaware.
General conditions affecting wat
u erway legislation have apparently
changed fer the better" the con-
ventlon call says in part. THE
new method of appropriation has
thus far tended TO reduce sectional
disagreement and OF present the
waterway question as one OF ma
tional concern and Importance. The
debates In Congress which led TO the
adoption Of the estimate Of the
Chief Of Engineers. in preference TO
that OF the Director of the Budget.
showed faith in a national policy
and disposition to proceed upon a
plan adopted as a business measure
and conducted on business. principles.
The consideration OF new projects
and surveys in a bill separate from
the appropriation item has led thus
far to a more general interest in the
engineering problems and a better
appreciation OF their bearing upon
the economic we fare Of the nation.
Events of the past year have
further demonstrated the wisdom OF
directing our attention and energy
to unfinished work within our ma
tional boundaries.

Guided this joint declaration was signed
at London: "slis Britannia Majesty's

action of Great Britain in that coun-

fixed for Che British occupation, or in
any other manner"
This agreement may have limited
vaguely at indefinite occupation. Yet
Egypt's political status was not altered
by it. The Miner reports testimony
on this point ia unqualified. It says:
Though Great Britain remained
IN Egypt, she did nothing during the
next twenty seven years (from 1887

position or to disturb the theory that
Egypt was an autonomous national
