Gov ernor-General Leonard Wood of the Islands, regted at the summer 'White House today from his long trip which plainly had affected him. A series of accidents before leaving Manila and on the u-ean trip to this continent had under mined the General's usual robust constitution, and when he arrived at Custer, South Dakota, he had to be assisted to the automobile which brought him to the Slate Game Lodge. After a long conference with the President, General Wood was Invited to remain overnight and he cancelled a previous decision to re-board his special car for the trip to Washington so as to be able to take advantage of the bracing mountain air in this lo cality and a good rest before re suming his journey. There was no comment on the Governor-General's visit either from himself or from the White House. Membars of Itta part> de clared Mr. Wood expected to re turn to his post In September.

The money for the taking over| of thin waterway by the (Jovern-j ment Is available and the iegtl tangle that has held up Its actual payment Is practically unravelled, the speaker assured Ills headers. | and already, he declared, the (lov i eminent Is making definite plans for taking over and developing the waterway. These plans, he said, include the deepening of the : canal to a depth of 10 feet and to a width of 80 feet. "You should now be forming your plans to bring pressure to bear on the proper authority to increase that depth to 12 feet, or , the Hame depth that will prevail in the other links of the Atlantic [Inland Waterway," Mr. Halley I urged. "With a 12 foot waterway SO feet wide you will enjoy a pre ferential freight yite that will en able your Jobbers to do business on a parity with cities In Mary laud, Pennsylvania and Virginia." , The foregolug statements were prefaced with an array of farts by which the speaker sought to es tablish that waterways afford the territories which they serve In comparably the cheapest transpor tation on earth and at the same time confer even greater indirect benefits by lowering freight rates jhy rail and by building Industries, i He cited most effectively the case of Manchester, England, which I lost Its supremacy us a manufac turing center when It had to com pete with aeaport manufacturing centers and then more than re gained that supremacy In spectac ular fashion when it wus linked up with Liverpool by a ship canal. "Every one of the great cities of the world Is on a waterway," he said In substance. "What gave Pittsburgh its present place In the Industrial system of this country was Its waterways. Development of waterways at one time wan blt jterly fought by the railroads, but I they have as a rule now come to see that any temporary loss of j business that the opening of wat- ' erways may cause Ih quickly offset In the Increased volume of busi ness offered. The railroads and ( other interests which so bitterly fought the ship canal connecting Manchester and Liverpool are all benefitting Immensely In the re vival of Industry that ocean going commerce has brought to Man chester." The speaker paid a glowing trl- j bute to Secretary Job of the Elixa- ' beth City Chamber of Commerce; to whom he ascribed chief credit for the fact that the taking over of the canal by the Government is assured.

Notwlthatandlng orgumnts by j some of Greal Britains* ablest statesmen, the Americans have not been shaken from their feel ing that in convollng the present meeting.

Qi#l? aon, chief American delegate, tliad while this did not preclude eoM slderatlon of other questions, : thought the time to tuke up thee* |questions wan at the 1931 confer ence, an called for by the Wash ington treaty. Reiterating that the reduction ! in the slxe of worships, outlined in the British proposals, wonld j mean not ouly a saving for the {taxpayer, but would signify a def inite move toward outlawing I wara, a British spokesman said : ' that Great Britain, Troin the very I nuture of her acceptance of Pres- 1 ident Coolidge's invitation, had ? ] right to re-open the Washington 1 decisions. The spokesman recalled that the acceptance Hald that the British government was "pre pared to consider to what extent the principles adopted at Wash , Ington can be carried further elth ler regarding the ratio In different 1 classes of ships between various i powers, or In any other Important j waya." I Doubts were expressed by this spokesman that the United Statea would be able to give con vincing reasons aa to why it was necessary to have a crulaer | strength equal to that of Great | Britain.

Thla, he added, also was true of Japan. Convocation of an executive , committee meeting for today , raiaed hopes that some progress however slight, had been toward coordination of the American, British and Japanese thesis In troduced at Mouday's opening ses sion. as a consequence of prlvats conversations among the chief delegates, Mr. Gibson, however, said that all the delegations were "still feeling their way."
