WATER FOR THE SUDAN
RESERVOIR AT LAKE TSANA. AMERICAN CAPITAL EMPLOYED. (British Official Wireless.) (Press Association —Bj Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, February 9. Replying to a question regarding the construction of the dam and reservoir at Lake Tsana by American capital, Mr G. Locker-Lampson (Under-secretary to the Foreign Office recalled that the Foreign Secretary (Sir Austen Chamberlain) had stated last November that no issue had arisen between the British and United States Governments on this subject. Mr Locker-Lampson added: “I do not conceive it possible that it should give Use to occasion for any difference of opinion. There has, therefore, been, no occasion for any exchange of views between the two Governments. The object of the British Government is to get the barrage constructed and worked on engineering lines, and on conditions satisfactory alike to th e Government of Abyssinia and the Governments of Sudan and Egypt, our primary interests being to secure additional water for the Sudan.”
