The Russian proposals, the rela- tions between France and Italy with regard to the Balkans and the Polish-Lithuanian controversy, al- though not specifically betore the se curity committee, all presented prob- lems uppermost in the minds of the delegates, England In Attack. i One feature of today's ion was | ironical attack on Politis of Groece and other speakers by Lord | Cushenden, the British delegate, for | sceking to revive the old Geneva | protocol which Britain rejected res | cently as impracticable and over- | idealistic. Certain things have been defi- nitely judged and it seems useless 10 | reopen the question of how far obe ctions to the Geneva protocol cor- respond to reality,” he said. At the same time Lord Cushenden | stated that Great Britain was ready | by every possible way in its power | to encourage the promotion of dis- winament, arbitration and securit but insisted that the security com- mittee should get down to clear cut propositions. Maxim Litvinoff, head of the Soviet delegation who threw yester~ day’s “peace bomb” into the confers «nce, addressed himself busily today to matters which came up before the security committee whose mis- sion 1s to se® how far international security can be pushed in order that the nations may be inducted to consent to a reduction in their rmaments. He attended the ges- | sion as an observer, since Soviet Russia, as did the United States, declined to take an active part in the committee's labors. Titvinoft Is Sensation. When Litvinoft wasn't writing | vith his head almost touching the desk as he wrote furionsly making | notes on the proceedings, he was | watching the other delegates and little seemed to escape him. As he found time to peer about, he smiled slightly on several occasions when iie saw a number of the delegates | studying the official Soviet “annex” distributed today. | In this annex to the orlginal dis- armament proposals of yesterday, | ihe Russians hotly criticised ths | capitalistic world for possessing more armies and more arms than | cver before and for indulging in a | “frenzy” of naval construction des- | pite the Washington conference. This document also criticised Ameri- cans as frankly defending the use | of chemicals in the next war.

The unusually mild weather has ‘neouraged continuance of construc- ion work far beyond the ordinary hoom period this year. Building In- spector A. N. Rutherford finds few streets in the city on which there are no building operations in pro- sress and he estimates there are 50 per cent more jobs now in operation than there were in the correspond- ing month last year. In November 112 new bulldings were begun, the work including 68 frame structures estimated at $277,- two brick buildings to cost $5, (10, and 43 alternations, the value « which is fixed at $16,380. Tene- ments added were 44. Plumbing and electrical work Is correspondingly active. Inspector O. A. Peterson, in charge of plumb- ing issued 120 permits last month as against 56 in November, 1926, and the fixtures installed numbered 392 as against 186. Tees collected were $144. Last r the depart- ment turned over $80 to the city treasurer for the month of Novem- ber. Mason P.
