LAKE TSANA DAM
WATER FOR SUDAN (British Official News.) Precg Association—By Wireless —Copyright. RUGBY, February 9. (Received February 10, at 12.30 p.m.) Replying to a question regarding the construction of the dam and reservoir at Lake Tsana by American capital, Mr Locker-Lampson recalled that the Foreign Secretary (Sir Austen Chamberlain) hud 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 rise 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 the Government of Abyssinia, and the Governments of Sudan and Egypt, our primary interest being to secure additional water for the Sudan.”
