In a speech tonight reporting to the British public 0n his conver- sations with President Roosevelt in Washington, the Premier declar- ed that the War Debts question must be settled as quickly as poe- eible before the World Economic Conference is ended if the parley achieves any final result.

The conference also, he asserted, "will have to reach an agreement upon the principles governing the height 0f tariff walls and upon restriction on currency move- merits."

The teak will not be easy, he said, “but with common sense and good will much can be done. The Washington conversations showed the United states is with us in malcng this attempt."

Lifeless Body of Mis-

sing Lad Found in an Ashpit at the C. N. R. Roundhouse.

(Csnsdlau hens)

TRURO, N. 8., May ii-Seven- ycar-old Douglas whose lifeless body was found today in an ashplt at the C. N. R. round- nouse, met death by accidental drowning, a coroner's jury decided tonight.

A 10 hour search, started when

the lad failed to return to the home at which he boarded lost midnight, ended when Fred Mo- Nutt, roundhouse foreman, found the body es it was brought out of the ashpit in the crane. McNutt told the jury the ashplt was from six to seven feet deep, always part- ly filled with water on top of which a layer of ashes usually ﬂoated. There was no railing around it, and railway men from time to time had stumbled into it. At night, however, it was marked by bright lights.

The boy had been sent to school yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Elmer Snow, with whom he lived. She never saw him again. He is said to have been swinging e. stick which cracked a car headlight later in the afternoon, and to have run in fright toward the roundhouse, but this was not established at the in- quest.

Douglas was a moody boy, coma. what given to wandering off by

himself, and had been known to 'leavo home for quite long periods

of time on other occasions.
