CINCINNATI, February 25.—The first. object of Great Britain's foreign | policy is to seck peace and whenever | necessary help to enforce it, Sir Esme | Howard, British Ambassador to the United States, said in an address last night before the Foreign Policy Asso- | ciation of Cincinnati. Predicting that the political develop- | ments of the next century would be in | “a great measure transferred from the | Atlantic, which s the European and | American ocean, to the Pacific. which | is American and Asiatic,” Sir Fsme | pointed out that British interests in | the Pacific. as represented by Australia, New Zealand and India, would be vitally affected by any effort to destroy the peace of that part of the world. | The countries of Europe, through the League of Nations and the Locarno treaties, are “gradually working toward | =—== a sense of security.” he said, but the | Scnate Passes Resolution to Invite| hope for peace in the Pacific depends i largely on the proper functioning of the 1929 or 1930 Meeting. four-power treaty signed at the Wash- gton axms conference in 1921, | in; A resolution to authorize the Presi- | Ingtoh sxms conference i 1021 @@ o dent to invite the Permanent Interna- | qemand that the first interest of the Any woman that's w painted is hardly worth savi Next t' a third marriage I can't think o' nothin’ as tame as th’ crowin’ of a chess king.

This. the bill cites, eliminates from consideration ex- penditure on the proposed Mount Ver- non boulevard. The boards of supervisors and the | councils of cities and towns lying wholly or partly in the metropolitan area would be empowered, under the act, to lay spe- cial tax levies, borrow or float special | bond issues to meet their share of the expenditures. B | Funds raised by local taxation, the | bill provides, shall be expended as far as | practicable in the magisterial districts | from which they are derived. Money spent for engineering and planning work, it sets forth, shall be construed to be of equal benefit to the whole metropolitan area. “and the local con- tributions thereto shall be in proportion to the taxable values upon real estate within the several political subdivisions, or parts thereof, embraced within the metropolitan area.” ! For Development Plan. ‘The money, under a provision of the act, could be used to meet the expenses of formulating a complete plan of de- velopment of the metropolitan area, in- cluding the employment of engimeering | aid, and purchase and development of public parks and playgrounds. Any lands or other public property acquired by the State, political subdivision or agency, for park, playground or other public purposes shall be exempt from | taxation, the bill provides. 1 The bill changes the name of the commission appointed by the governor | under an act of the last regular ses- sion of the General Assembly. It has| been known as the Virginia Park and P Commission. With passage of the present bill it will be known as the | Virginia-National ~ Capital Planning ! Commission. The commission under the new act would be empowered to reach an agree- ment_with the National Capital Park and Planning Commission as to what territory in the State shouid be em- braced in the metropolitan area. When this is done the commission must report to the governor of the State, and upon approval by him, “the territory so desig- nated shall become the metropolitan area of this act.” Two Bills' Defeated. Two bills providing for the enlarge- ment of the State Highway Commis- sion were defeated in the House. One was the proposition of William A. ‘Wright of Essex to add three members to the commission, making it consist of eight instead of five. Delegate Tuck tried to get his bill passed providing for the addition of one member to the com- mission. Nearly a fourth of the time of the Legisiature has been consumed in the consideration of matters affect- ing roads, the distribution of the gas tax and similar measures dealing with highways. The suggestion of repealing the existing laws and to convert all the gas-tax revenue to the highway fund, thereby providing for 3.000 miles of roads each year, on a basis not yet det is meeting with increasing favor as the members discuss the con- tinual agitation of the matter of roads and the needs of the counties for funds. | Lee Statue Bill Pending.
