Britain.
Coineidentally there was mount
ing feeling against further con.
cessions to dietators which threat
ened the British government, not
only at home but in far.flung
parts of the British empire.
The speech broadcast to the
United States last night by VIM
ston Churchill sounded a clear
call for . strong stand against to-
talitarian nations, fer Intensified
rearmament and world coopera-
ton among democracies.
According to present reports,
Germany intends soon to propose
an Anglo-German discussion on
arms limitation generally, on an
air pact, on eolonies-and posi-
bly,, the revision Of the Anglo.
German naval treaty.
In each case, there would be in
volved definite and costly conces-
sions by Great Britain to Ger
many.
Hitler's informal approach was
reported coincident with indica-

No one doubted that there
would be a tremendous roar of
protest in Great Britain if there
was any suggestion that this coun-

at sea was unthinkable.

RESOURCES UP

Total resources of the % build
ing and loan associations doing
business in the District of Colum-
bia have increased by $5,615, ,766
during the past six months, ac-
cording to a report to the District
of Columbia Building and Loan
League.
F. Wilson Camp, secretary of the
league, made the report which re-
veals that the total assets, as of
June 30, 1888, were $126,229, ,766.
Significant of the expansive
program of the local building-loan
groups, as reflected in the Camp
report, is the fact that loans made
by member associations during
June amounted to $3,022,029 and
were handled in TAB separate loan
transactions.
In addition to the increased
business in the matter of new
loans for home building and prop
erty improvements a correspond
ing increase In the number of
share accounts during June was
also noted, 859 new shareholders
being added TO the list of those
who already possessed building

January is 1888.
