as the nation was recovering satisfactor-
lily from last years Industrial upheaval
Abiding to the trIparrite disarmament
conference, the Chancellor declared that
II 1t was a failure, it was no failure for
which Great Britain had any responsible
Ilty. With reference to Lord Cecil's
recent statement that he was NOT
IN agreement with the other mem
bers of the government in the disar-
mament negotiations, Mr.. Churchill re-
marked that. doubtless in this or that
direction, Lord Cecil had suggestions
which we found went further than we
ourselves were able to CO." He added,
1t IS my sincere belief, with foil know
ledge Of all the circumstances, that if
every suggestion Lord Cecil made had
been put forward at Geneva on the au-
thority of the Government, nevertheless
no agreement would have been reached"
Mr.. Churchill said that the country
would come through without having to
reimpose any of the 40, 600, 900 pounds
sterling by direct taxation, which was re-
mltted by the present Government in 1925,
or the 20, 900, 900 sterling RENTED by tie

ture he declared that the Government
realized and sympathized with the
difficulties confronting the farmer and
would do its best to relieve chem, but
would not produce any wild schemes
with the object of raising votes, rath-
er than crops. They did not believe
state control and county council manage
ment of farms would make agriculture
any more prosperous.

 ply in Juneau

With the asaistance of Frank A. Boyle, C T. Gardner and F. l. Sommers. Chamber Of Commerce committee appointed yesterday lo worl' with the Council on the wa. ter shortage, the question or wa ter control was discussed for aa hour last night at the meeting of the City Council in the City Hail.
 MT Boyle, acting as spokesman. brought out the fact that in an Investigation made by himself q. W. Cheatham and E. D. Stewart in March, 1925. it was shown tha daily supply flowing into the tanks >wsa 2.500,000 gallons while on December ? of 1927, L. H. Metzgar measured the daily ia flux and found it amounted to three and one-half millions of gal Ions or an average of S75 gallons per person per day in Juneau This is the inflow into the upper tank alone.
 Estimates, Mir Boyle declared, show that without developments of any kind the present water supply is adequate for a town ten times the size of Juneau.
 Example of Waste
 As an example of the waste practiced twJ years go lasf spring when tEe committee made it's survey, Mr. Boyle gave figures showing the excessive Use of the water supply. An actual measure.

CHINESE LEADER
ASKS AMERICAN
NEGROES FOR Aid

BORDENTOWN, N. j., May s.
The present situation in China
should inspire the American Negro
and oppressed groups the world
over" declared DR.. T. y. Koo in
addressing an audience composed of
students and teachers of the Bor-
dentown Manual Training School,
as well as white and colored towns
people.
DR.. Koo, who is representing in
this country some fifty guilds, banks
and commercial organizations of
China, is one of the leaders OF
political thought in China. He de-
scribed the growth of national spirit
in the Chinese republic and appeal
ed for the sympathy and help of the
Negro in America in behalf of that
movement.
DR.. Koo paid tribute to DR.. King
of Cannon Seminary in Atlanta,
who was delegate some years ago
to the World Student Christian Fed
Grafton which met in Peking. No
delegate from a foreign country
made so deep an impression on the
affections of Chinese members and
the effect of his personality is still
remembered in that country.
