He will push national drainage schemes and is planning to build a new arterlal road from London to Aber- deen. Thomas is contemplating spend- ing on road building alone §50.000,000. The development of harbors and waterways will be taken in hand al- most immediately. The new Labor cabinet will come be- fore the new House of Commons June 25, with a complete scheme of national | work and expects no opposition from Liberals and Conservatives. For a few months the new Labor administration will run smoothly.

Havenner, chairman of the council, discovered he would not be able to muster a quorum | and ordered a postponement Discussions in the council indicate it will recommend a budget ranging be- tween $50.000,000 and $51,000,000 for the 1931 year and an increase in the Federal Government's annual lump-sum contribution of $9,000,000 toward the expenses of the District. The Commis- sioners have tentatively fixed the budget total for 1931 at $48.000,000. Committees of the Washington Cham- ber of Commerce and the Board of Trade also are drawing up budget recommendations for the Commission- ers.

It was in the same salon that the cardinal on February 9 com- municated to the diplomats accredited to the Holy See news of the conclusion of the lateran agreements. At the threshold of the room Premier Mussolini was greeted by Mgr. Francesco Borgongini Duca, one of the most ac- tive participants in the framing of ghe Lateran pacts, and Mgr.

Doors Opened Wide. The great bronze doors opening out upon the colonnade of St. Peter's Square, which remained half shut for 59 years, were opened wide as a sig- nificant symbol of the new state of things. Osservatore Romano this afternoon published the full text of the Lateran accords, the documents relative to rati- fication and the new law of the papal state, which was prepared by the law- yer, Francesco Pacelli, intermediary for tne Pope and Mussolini during the two years of negotiations. The exchange also made effective the financial provisions of the Lateran treaties by which the Vatican received bonds for 1,000,000,000 lire (about $52 000,000), and ' 750,000.000 lire cash (about $39.000,000).
