British Ambassador Makes Interesting Prediction
 Tn Address

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Feb. 25-- The first object of Great Britain's s foreign policy is to seek peace and whenever necessary to help enforce it. Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador. said here last night in an address before the Foreign Policy Association of Cincinnati.
 Predicting that political develop ment within the next century would be in a great measure transferred from the Atlantic, which is an European and Amer ican ocean, to the Pacific, which is American and Asiatic," Sir Esme pointed out that British in terests in the Pacific which are represented by Australia, New Zealand and India, will be vitally affected by any effort to destroy peace in that part of the world countries.
 Europe, through the League of Nations and the Locarno treaties is gradually working toward a sense of security" said Sir Esme but hope for the Pacific depends largely on proper functioning of the Four Power Treaty signed al the Washington Arms Conference in 1921.

 of Building

 Three local firms were success full bidders for much of the i'm portant work in the construction and finishing of the building. George B. Rice was awarded the contract for heating and ventilat- ling .@4fhe .Harri Machis<er sliep. plumbing. and the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, elec- tric wiring.
 Peter Woeck, who was the re- cent successful bidder for the public school building. was also awarded the general construction contract for the Masonic Temple. The awarding of this contract is the happy culmination of sey. eral years of earnest work and planning, according to state ment made today by Mir. Whittier, Secretary of the Association. "The first thought of Temple to represent the Scottish Rite Do1;a, of AIacLo ha eaid oariu mated during the period of the erection of the present public school building. The late Hon. Judge Royal A. Gunnison, then a leading member and high official of the Scottish Rite, took the lead ing part in having plans drawn for a Temple but at that time the Rite was in it's infancy and such a large undertaking was not deem ed wise. The idea, however. has never been lost sight of and every effort of the Order has been bent toward this aim. The decision of the Trustees last night was, therefore, a happy event. 
 The Temple contemplated is a three story concrete structure with basement for heating plant and storage rooms The main entrance will be on Fourth street and will consist of a handsome tile, marble and terrazo effect. The first floor will be devoted to mems lounge and library, ladies' lounge. Secretary's offices and ad- joining banquet room and kitch- en.
 The second floor will contain a large auditorium and dance floor, rest rooms, toilets and mems smoking room The third floor is given over entirely to the lodge room with the necessary prepara- tion rooms. A large paraphernalia room will be located over the preparation rooms. A second ent. rance to the building will be To- cated on the Seward street side. A solid fire wall will enclose this entrance extending from the basement to the upper story thus providing a safe exit from the up ] per story.
 The exterior design of the Tenn pie will be somewhat of an Orien- tai nature with column effects on the Fourth and Seward street sides. It will cover space 50x90 The Temple is designed not only Ito accommodate the Scottish Rite Bodies but also the Blue Lodge, the Eastern Star Lodge and the Shrine Club. It is contemplated construction will commence April first.
 With the combination of the present public school building, the
 Presbyterian church erected last year, the new High School build ing. the Scottish Rite Temple and
 the contemplated government building, Juneau will indeed have a good start toward handsome
 civic center" Mir. Whittier de clared,
