This Is the almost nnanlmoas opinion of the Sunday" newspaper, editorial writers of which devote (olunins today In attempts to fore east the result. :r James Crai, the Ulster premier, held two lengthy conferences with rnme Minister Lloyd-George yesterday at tht- latter's request, but the pre miers are unofficially reported to have ir.adr no advance toward an accommo dation of their respective views. Tin conferences are supposed to ha : dealt with the proposal to enlarge th. constitution and powers of the , .-i;ncil of Ireland, protection of minor itifs and other possible bases for set tlement which have been tentatively agreed upon by the British and Sinn Fein representatives. "Not since the end of 1916," says the Sunday Times, "has the political situ ation been so interesting, so critical,' so full of hope, and at the same time so uncertain and likely to fly off on. -unexpected tangents. Failure Possible , We may be on the point of settling the Trish problems. On the other hand. disappointment, which" is still possi ble, would not only leave Ireland In a worse state than before, but would have far-reaching effect on our own domestic politics split the unionist party and either take Premier Lloyd ileorg into temporary retirement or put him at the head of a new coalition." The News of the World, which Is credited with enjoyjj2r especial favor in lowTiirts-' stfeetr saTs the Irish "cenv forence is at the cross-roads, and that, should Mr. Llord-George be unable to bring about a settlement, "on, cards" : that is on the basis of the terms al ready laid down that he may, resign. The newspaper say It understands that the premier ha cancelled his ar rangements for a week-end -sojourn at Chequers Court, his, country estate, so as t0 confer with .cabinet members "concerning a situation of deepening Gravity." . i The Weekly Dispatch also asks whether Ulster will - take an attitude which will permit peace in Ireland. It heralds as two events "of the highest interest-' the re-entry into the politi cal arena of A. Bonar Law, and a meet ing, hitherto unmentioned in the press, of Mr. Law,-Viscount Birkenhead and Sir George Younger, Tory party man ager. "We have thus," says the newspa per, "a full dress conference of the farmer leader, prospective leader and m:;:iag,;r -f tne conservative party" Premier May Resign Recall ins that both Mr. Law and Viscount Birkenhead have pladged t'netri vlves to Ulster's support. the V"eekly IMspatch declares that,, ff Ul ster refuses what Fremier-Llord George i! links are reasonable terms, he may resign and leave the Tories to face the situation. Should Ulster prove the stumbling block to prevent the Irish sftiUment and Mr. Lloyd-George re sifrns without going to the voters on the issue, the newspaper says, the coa lition would be in obvious danger of '""-aking tin. The sequel, it adds. o'jiri 1,0 that a Torv premier would I acinic the office, even if only tempor arily. T'ni' frish issue is even more momen nus !r the empire than the Wash inetor, arms conference, declares the v observer, which adds: "Norcan !i"i!isii statesmanship give effective mind to the vast American program un:U ic-,-,r it struck through the dark-iv-ss of Trish misery." The Observer declares that the sug- ed plan to take from Uulster the . i eounties of Tyrone and Fermanagn ;ict he disregarded, as it might easily I'l-insj about the rejection of allegiance to the empire by both the north and south Ireland.

S. People Generally Recognize "Vague Estrangment" Since the Russian War WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (By Associ ated Press.) Japan enters the week or the opening of the armament con ference with a critical political situa tion at home, with a national economic situation, that is causing her leaders apprehension, and with her relations with foreign powers, particularly the United States, Great Britain and China, yiewed by her foreign office as at least open to improvement. Many of the ablest Japanese are now either in Washington, or in other parts of the United States engaged In the task of helping their country find is true vplace in the world. The present situation is frankly at tributed 'by responsible .Japanese to the fact that in . her rapid absorption of western civilization, Japan has not realized the inevitable effect of . that civilization upon her' wn countrymen, wno have awakened, to a spirit of liber alism, and are demanding more from the state as individuals. Developed into an industrial nation from an agricultural erne, Japan, more and more dependent upon her indus trial workers, is finding them almost insatiable in their demands, and recal citrant' at a time when the cost of liv ing is higfcer than in any other coun try, and when the country's manufac tured products are with difficulty find ing a world market in competition with those of other countries, where labor is cheaper, where, thrift has 'become a habit, and where the workman's effi ciency is greater. People Dissatisfied In foreign political relations, the Japanese people as. a ,whole are entirely. dissatisfied- with, thet trend of affairs between their -country :n,d tivoJInlted. the'vaBrue eetrartttment that has de veloped since the. Epoch of the Russo- Japahese war. when .the Japanese, felt that 'they enjoyed: the -sympathy and approval of the. American people. One great "cause of the estrange ment, Japanese explain, is the fact that it was the United States that constant ly protested;;sP(n,; from time to time, made . political, moves in connec tion with 3ier expansion in the fat; east. The effect 'of this was" to produce upon Japanese minds , the -Impression that America, and America alone, was be coming Jealous of Japan's swift ascen dency in the world, and was attempt ing to check it. This idea is frequently voiced in the press of Japan, where politicians claim that 'their country ihas done no- more than other nations in the past. ...... . There, is reason to believe that the coming of so many representatives Japanese to the United . States repre sents, for one thing, a sincere effort to get in touch with the west, because Japan, associated with the accident scarcely for. more than a half century has come to the realization that in her knowledge of the Occident and all and that it stands .-is' for- insufficient. She is expected to submit her case frankly to the representatives of the powers as sembled at Washington. The Tokio correspondent of the' As sociated Press has been assured by responsible spokesmen that however much war ta'ik may be indulged in by sensational Japanese, the real Japan Ltenows the necessity and urgency of removing any feeling or estrangement and of returning to the earlier days of friendly, co-operation. ' War XTnthInkable" Business leaders, during the voyage across the iPaclflc, en route to Wash ington said: "War with the United States is unthinkable for us. For one thing, our lack of natural resources would make, it impossible." Others frankly referred to the ab surd anVbitlons of Japanese chauvinists and said that they were so insular that they judged all world problems trom the standpoint of Japan alone, and the leaders Insisted that the motto of the present day Japan was that expressed recently in Tokio, by Viscount Maklno, minister of the unperial household. when Crown Prince HJrohito returned from Europe, namely, that the recog nition of the International inter-dependence of Japn must be her guiding principle and, that Japan, isolated and alone, could not prosper. The .third matter of concern to Japa nese is understood to be the failure of , British- statesmen to agree upon a re newal of the alliance or military pact, with Japan. Irrespective of the ques tion as. to what -powers or power the alliance was directed against, the agreement was 'decerned of great moral strength to Japanf. because it made her an ally of a greatf white power. The old. agreement continues automatically ujtiiH depouixcd 'by either party but bpthw,hkve - agreed that whenever its terms are not in harmony with the covenant of the league of nations, it is the covenant,-and not the alliance it self, which .shall prevail. Japanese publishers have already called the al liance a "dead - letter" and consider that a powerful prop has been removed from under Japan. , Japan's relations with China have not materially, Improved and China, in its state of disorganization.

Con siderably - NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6. After ad vances of 14 to 26 points or. the open ing session, cotton during' the last week commenced to sag under pressure from traders who were influenced by hef-rish talk concerning ginning. .In the succeeding .'sessious prices were sent. to levels 32 ta GS. points, under. .the close of the preceling; week and the clcfcses -showed net losses of 16 to 40 points. December at its highest stood at IS. 40 cents a pound and at its Vow. star 17.77 closing at 17.86 in the rpot department middling lost 50 points, closing at IS. 25 against 19.25 a yeai- at?o. Regarding ginning,, the. main feature was a private bureau report which es timated the output to the first of No vember at 6,550,000 bales and the totaf crop at 7,550,000. While many, if not most, traders regarded these figures as altogether too high they caused con siderable selling, which helped to put prices to the 'lowest of the week. On the closing session another private bu reau report was heard of which esti mated that on the first of November, there were still a million bales of cotton in the belt to beg inned. Easier money rates, in this country and -In England, were the main bullish influences of the week" but they had little effect beyond steadying the mar ket. Toward the close the decline was checked by the very large mill takings of 401,000 bales against 2S0.000 this week last year. These takings caused a great deal of comment because the trade did not understand how they were, possible with the spot markets of the belt so quiet.- Bearish traders claimed that much cotton was moving to rriills on consignment but the fav orite theory on the long side , was that mjlls were buying It under Cover and that larg spot concerns were supply ing the edmand without making eny noise about it. . Vttfyfet; During the last four weeks, accord ing to Hester, the mills of the world; have taken a total of 1,425,000 bales, a surprising . quantity of Cotton in such a short period, especially in a short crop year like this.. The fourth report of the season Is due from, the census bureau at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning. General expecta tions are for figures .of anywhere from 6JL00.000 to 6,300,000 bales to the first of November. According to market clr-. culars of thf week end, anything under 6,300,000 is likely :to cause an, advance while anything over would. probably re su'lt in a decline. " The cotton -exchange will be closed Friday, Armistice day. -DISTRICT ATTORNEY Q.UITS. RALEIGH, N. C, Nov. 6. E. F.-Ayd-lett;vof 'Elizabeth City, N. C.j Demo crat, t United States District.
