But practical development of 2 water power will probably be such that not over 25 per cent of the total power demand in any year can be met from this source. Principal dependence, therefore, must be placed upon generation of power from coal. “There are in this area nearly two hundred different utility com- panies engaged in power production and distribution, many under common ownership. Of these about 45 per cent are technically interconnected, but only about 8 per cent of the interconnections have capacity large enough for effective interchange of power. Great economies in cost of production can be secured from the early effective interconnection of these utility systems, in some cases involving larger and systematic high voltage transmission.” Such interconnection, according to the engineers, will lead to the reduc- tion of the amount of reserve equip- ment, “better/ average load factor through pooling of daily and seasonal load varfation and wide diversifica- tion of use through increased indus- trial consumption,” and more security in power supply agalnst interruption by many causes. It.will also mean that available water power in the area can be much more advantage- ously applied to carry base or peak load as local conditions may require. It shouid make possible the use of sec- ondary water power which arises from the seasonal flow of streams, and thus bring into practical use a larger quantity of water power than would otherwise be possible. Finally, power would be available more quickly to meet growing demands. Segregate Water Power. The report goes on to point out that the economic generation and distribution of power vitaily requires that it be produced in large plants. Present practice indicates that such plants should be constructed with total capacities of from 200,000 to 500,000 kilowatts, using generators of not less than 20,000 kilowatts each. Because great plamts of this char- acter require immense quantities of water for condemsation purposes, their location will be controlled by considerations of water supply. A study of avallable water supply has 18d the engineers to the conclusion that the location of such plants will accordingly be restricted to the sea- board, the Great Lakes, the Ohio River and its tributaries, and the Susquehanna River. Turning from steam plants to a discussion of water power, the engi- neers declare that the large demand affords an immediate market for the cheaper water power from the larger projects and renders their develop- ment both urgent and necessary. At the same time the large use of steam fully carried out. vision of the The only pro- law that is not cast mencing words: to 1 tion Be Repudinted by “Nenator the Sterling likewise nd methods Personnel Classification Roard “As the result of treating depart- nts and offices as individual differences Closely repudi- of the ates work re remain similar or Horsepower Available. electrical power very supplied from based standard elassi largely, grading of the for based on administrative standards are employed, they standards prepared as ? for efficiency ramings. “Many allocations bear strong evi- dence of having been framed princi- pally with a view to meeting the amount of money 1t was believed would be recommended by the Budget Bureau, €0 that the final test of allo- ation has heen not the specifications bed by the classification act but the amount of money thought to be forthcoming.

Tf they decided fthat only a certain amount of the tion's money could be spared, and that amount was less than the sum necessary to put into effect the allo- cations determined upon, the obvious remedy would be a uniform scaling down—5 per cent, 10 per cent or some other per cent. “A survey of the allocations of the Personnel Classification Board leaves the impression that about all the scal- ing down of salaries was visited upon the rank and file. “The Personal Classification Board worked under a plan—so far as it followed any plan—condemned by ae} personnel experts, and with little r gard to the provisions of the classi- fication act it was their duty to ad- minister. The result (foreseen by all who have followed the subject) is a hodge podge, so that today the need is as great as ever for a real classi- fication of the national civil service, based upon appropriate standards and tests, uniformly applied.” —e PREMIER MACDONAL HOLDS TALK RECORD By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 21.—Premier Mac- Donald has talked more in the House of Commons than anyone else, and is thirty-one columns of the official report of the Parlimentary Gazette ahead of his nearest competitor. Ac- cording to the record from_ January to the Easter recess, the Premier's speeches covered 126 columns, Wil- liam Graham, financial secretary to the treasury, being next with 95 col- umns _and Sir Kingsley Wood third with 76 columns. Lloyd George only fills 47 columns, and Henry Asquith 36, while Stanley Baldwin takes fif- teenth place with 46 columns. It is noted that the Clydeside mem- bers are comparatively reticent, Tom Johnstone and Neil MacLean filing only 30 columns each. James Kirk- wood is not mentioned, because only those who can fill 20 columns are recorded. In the matter of asking questions, Commander Kenworthy easily holds firs with_239 questions, or 108 more than Sir Kingsley Wood, who is second on_the list.

S. and Canadian Lawyers. Ry the Associated Press. 3 LONDON, July 21.—With ceremonies elaborated by many centuries of usage, nearly 3,000 American and Canadian lawyers today were welcom- ed to England and in ancient West- minster Hall, whose walls have stood while 30 kings and queens have come and gone. Striking the keynote of the visit- ing delegates’ pleasure over the cordiality of their welcome, Secre- tary of State Hughes pointed out that he and his fellow lawyers of the United States came wWith no political ends to serve, no differences to compose and no policies to ad- vance, excepting that of understanding and good will. Two Justices Present. The ceremony was both dignified and colorful. The visiting lawyers and their families crowded the main auditorium, while on the platform stood wigged and robed rows of king’s counsels and delegations of Canadian and American lawyers, the latter including Mr. Hughes and As- soclate Justices of the United States Supreme Court George Sutherland and Edward T. Sanford. Along the historic carpet stretch- ing from the entrance of the historic building trod a picturesque proces- sion of legal dignitaries in their col- orful robes of office. The lord high chanoellor, preceded by the tipstaft and mace bearer and followed by high judges and law lords in their scarlet robes and white fur collars, took seats in the center of the plat- torm. Hughes Is Acclaimed. The English attorney general ad- dressed the chancellor and presented the guests, the members of the Amer- ican Bar Association. R. W. Dibbin, president of the Law Society, and Sir James Aikens of Canada added short welcoming addresses. The chan- cellor then delivered his official ad- dress of welcome, Wwhereupon Mr. Hughes responded. The remarks of the American Sec- retary of State were received with great enthusiasm. The sober garb of the American statesman contrasted strangely with the colorful costumes of the British lawyers. His address was often interrupted by applause. Justice Sutherland.-also made a short response to the address of wel- come. Guests at Garden Party. This afternoon the lawyers were to be guests at a garden party given by in the area makes possible the use !Lord and Lady Phillimore. In presenting the visitors te Vis- count Haldare, the lord chancellor, Attorney General Patrick Hastings said the gathering of American, Eng- Iish and Canadian lawyers in West- minster was unique in history. The ancestors of both the Americans and Englishmen had stood in Westmin- ster Hall as the Englishmen and Americans stood there side by side today. Viscount Haldane, his figure bowed as if by the weight of his regalia, told the Americans that the historic hall built by William Rufus belonged as much to thé United States as it did to England, for it was the home of their ancestors, who fashioned the common law and equity. Glad U. S. Revolted. The lord chancellor told the law- yers something of the history of Westminster Hall, which was so rich in memories of English statecraft and lawcraft. “This hall,” he said, “is, thing Americans should be proud of, as it is yours as much as it Is ours. Before 1776 it was physically your possession. 1 have always thought that the Declaration of Independence was a fortunato event. In the end I believe it has done more to fashion and strengthen the ties between the people of the United States, Great Britain and Canada than anything else that has happened in world his- tory."” Justice Sutherland described some of the differences between the Ameri- can Constitution and the British con- stitution, and said the United States was indebted to its mother country for many things. Some things had been improved upon and some things had not, but he was fairly convinced that the future of civilized mankind de- pended upon the continuation of the friendly relations among the - English- speaking peoples more than upon all other factors combined. indeed, a Hughes Hears Sermon. Secretary Hughes and George Suth- erland and Edward T. Sanford, asso- ciate justices of the United States Supreme Court, were among the 400 American lawyers attending special services at Westminster Abbey ves- terday morning. They heard Rev. Henry D. A. Major, princi Hall, Oxford, preach a sermon, which he touched on the religious controversy between the fundamen- talists and modernjsts in America. Taking his text from St. John he discoursed on the theme of “Fellow Workers With God: Fellow Workers With Truth”" As he had the privilege of addressing members of the Amer- ican Bar Association, he said he would venture to make reference to the present religious situation in the United States, where for some time a struggle had been going on be- tween fundamentalists and modern- ists. He would not say anything so absurd as that one party in the conflict consisted of all religious and moral men and that the other party was composed of irreligious and im- moral men, for in all ages there had been religion and meorality on both sides. Hit Fundamentalist Stand. The question was, “Where is the truth?*.in this conflict between fun- damentalists and modernists, and he answered his own query by eaying: “The truth plainly is not on the fundamental side, a body of people standing for the inviolability of the Holy Scripture, denying the fact of physical evolution and resolved to drive from the pulpit and even from the professor's chair those who are opposed to them. But the truth once crushed to earth will rise again, since there can be no doubt regard- ing the final result of the conflict.” The speaker told his auditors that instead of disregarding truth, the modern community, by the code of othics adopted last week by those connected with the advertising busi- ness, was resolved to bring truth- fulness into a sphere where it could be no easy matter to do so. To seek truth and love it and to tell an advertising story simply and without exaggeration was to con- serve for ourselves and posterity ideals of conduct and standards of advertising and practice, born of the belief that truthful advertising builds both character and business, Others at St. Paul Visiting lawyers were also numer- ous among the congregation at St. Paul's Cathedral, where the Bishoy of Norwich preached on “law.” He referred to the gathering in London of lawyers from both sides of the Atlantic and declared that interna- tional peace would come about from universal recognition of law and good will. Lawyers from the United States and Canada are rapidly replacing the departing advertising delegates. More than 200 from the steamer Laconia reached London yesterday morning, swelling_ the contingent that came by the Berengaria Satur- day. As the Laconia neared England the lawyers aboard exchanged greet- ings with the British sovereigns, who are in Liverpool for the consecration of the mew cathedral. The message from the lawyers read: The members of the American Bar Association aboard the Laconia, hav- ing crossed the Atlantic under the safe conduct of gallant English Seamen, beg to send to your majesties their greetings and to express their great pleasure that they will soon reach the hospitable shores of your kingdom, for which they entertain so strong a feeling of close friend- ship.” British Sovereigns Reply. The sovereigns replied, expressing the hope that the lawyers' visit would be a happy one. Before they left the ship each was presented with a printed souvenir of this exchange of greetings. Secretary Hughes and other prom- inent members of the association were among the visitors who met Premier MacDonald and the labor government leaders, as well as numerous English legal lights, at Crewe House last night, when Am- bassador Kellogg entertained at din- ner in honor of the Secretary of State. As the guest of honor of the Pilgrims this evening the Secretary of State will make the only other speech he intends to deliver during his visit. : Five hundred lawyers will visit Sulgrave Manor Friday as the guest of Sir Charles Wakefield, and at that time the original Washington pew will be presented to Sulgrave Church and dedicated by Dean Inge.
