TO HOUSE ON TRIP
Success OF Five-PoWer Naval
ParIey Is AngIo-U. S. Goal,
Commons Is Told.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 5.-Reporting
on his American mission to discuss ma
val limitation, Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald today told the House of
Commons that the success of the Lon
don five-power conference in January
was the next objective of England and
America.
He declared that the desire to make
1t clear to every one that In our mutual
relations the Paris pact of peace Is .
reality" was the supreme fact in the
Anglo-American naval negotiations.
In preparation for the conference he
had studied with President Hoover ways
for filling in "the narrow gaps still re-
naming in program of building which
would at the same time recognize both
parity In strength and variety in the
use of tonnage"
Cites u. S. Historic Policy.
He called attention to the fact that
Washington was pursuing Its historic
policy Of keeping free from old-world
entanglements, but London must remain
loyal to the obligations contracted with
the League Of Nations.
ION neither side was there any at
tempt to change these facts, which were
recognized and examined in all our
discussions" he said.
Former Premier Lloyd George, Lib
eral leader, created storm in Parlia-
ment when, after having congratulated
Mr.. Macdonald on the success of his
ha hi fnr aT.e
whether he had entered into any COM
mitments on belligerent rights and gen.
eral disarmament.
Labor HOwIS DisapprovaI.
Mr.. Lloyd George also wished to know
whether war debts had been discussed
during the negotiations.
The Labor benches howled their dis
approval as the Liberal leader demand
ed ansyg,rs.
Comoir. j. M. Kenworthy from the
Labor benches insisted that Lloyd
Georges queries were only michievous,
Kenworthy formerly was a Liberal.
The prime minister declared emphati-
cally that "the question of debts was
not discussed" He assured the House
that there had been no commitments
on the other questions.
The prime minister went on to say he
naQ recognized WIN hoover Cnat the
agreement >ley we're seeking was one
not merely between themselves, but one
that would have to be set into a wider
agreement, and that a final settlement
would have to depend upon a five-power
conference.
THE powers concerned very probably
will have good deal to say from their
own point Of view upon the naval prob
lem, and We decided to urge that pre-
liminary and more or less informal con-
versations between those powers should
be entered upon.
THE success of that conference is our
next objective" Mr.. Macdonald then
afflrmed.
AnglO-U. s. Differences Raised.
"Above and beyond naval agreement
is the desire to make 1t clear to every
one that in our mutual relations the
Paris pact OF peace is a reality.
In the course of conversation, Presi-
dent Hoover raised some Of the issues
OF differences between us, such as
belligerent rights, the so-called fortified
bases. and so on which were still active
in forming public opinion, and we
agreed mutually to examine them in
the hope we might arrive at an under
standing upon them"

said. so far, however, I have not re-
ceived any statement from him."

solitaire in his quarters in the Marine
barracks.
The lieutenant steadfastly refused to
accept counsel from fellow naval off,
GERS who offered their assistance. He
would not discuss his case with them.
Dispatches from Vancouver quoted
Mrs. Sarah Gibson. apartment house

ties that Northcutt came to her place

It was this same staunch lit tie Santa Ana, commanded by Capt. J. L. schage, that carried the first crew and the first car go of construction material and supplies from Seattle to Res urrection bay, in August, 1903, when John E. Ballaine, promoter and builder of the Alaska Gen. tral Railway, took them north on that vessel to start prelimin- ary construction of the new railroad in preparation for the launching of permanent con- Struction the following spring.
 There was no Seward at that time. The site of the future cen ter of railroad and industrial activities in Alaska was then a virgin forest, containing one lone log cabin near the beach, at the foot of the present Second Ave- nue. The lone log cabin was oc- cupied by Mrs. Mary Lowell, a native woman of mixed Russian and Alieut blood, and her fam fly of three unmarried children. Resurrection bay had been se- lected by Mir Ballaine as the ocean terminus of the Alaska Central Railway, which he had organized to build from the coast to a connection with the Panama and the Yukon rivers in the interior. The present Alaska Railroad, owned and op- erated by the government of the United States, and extend ing with main line and branches from Seward for 567 miles to connection with all navigable rivers of Interior Alaska, is a continuation and an outgroWth of the plans then laid down by MT. Ballaine and the work of years that he carried on for their fulfillment.
