RIGHT OF SEARCH GIVEN Question of Troop Withdrawal Muy Lend the Delegntra Into Moat Troublesome Question of Fur Enaf (By auocJalail Pmu. I Washington, Nov. 28. Talcing Its first direct action toward the libera tion of China from foreign Jnfluencea, the arma conference agreed today on the withdrawal of foreign postofflces and postal systems from Chinese soil. The decision was conditioned only on the maintenance by China of effi cient postal facilities of her own. In cluding retention of the present do mestic organization by which a French ro-director general acts as advisor to the Chinese postal authorities. Janu ary 1,, 1923, virtually was agreed upon as the date of withdrawal, the Japan ese alone withholding final approval on that point pending consultation with Toklo. ' Constituting the first concrete appli cation of the principle of Chinese ad ministrative Integrity was delineated in the "four points" of KUhu Root, the postal agreement jl expected to be followed tomorrow by another provid ing for, gradual abolition of the sys tem of extra territorial rights under which a dozen foreign governments have(set up their own courts in China, and by a dismission of China's re quest that foreign troops quartered within her borders without treaty sanction be withdrawn. 'V- Troublesome Qaeatlona Akrad. The question of troop withdrawal may lead the delegates Into some of the most troublesome questions of the far east. Some of the forces which the Chinese deoten are In China without authority are" Japaneso'" quartered alone- the Una of the Shantung ran- way, and others are within ths debated territory of South Manchuria. Thus ,the negotiations prompt touch upon the Hhantune- and Manchurlan contro versies for the first time, although it i, considered likely that real Issues of these two problems will be put over for discussion when the confer ence take up. in the very near future, the specific subject of railway leases.. Alone: with the foreign troop ques tion, which for the present does not deal with forces like the legation aruarda at Pekln authorised by treaty, .the Chinese will ask for a considera tion of the status of oertaln foreign telegraph and wireless systems which they declare exist In China without her consent. The general- subject is expected after a round-table olscus 'sion to go to a sub-committee. In Japanese quarters It was said to- inlght that the Toklo government was ready to withdraw its troops from the areas not covered by treaty stipula tions as soon as China oould Insure the safety of Japanese nationals and prop erty within those sones.

Behind the scenes efforts are being made by the Americans to push Into the background the issues raised by President Hard ing's unexpected declaration regard ing the league of nations. The policy of Hughes from the outset has been, to use the homely phrase, not to kite off more than he can chew. . " ' He has not desired to take up all the troubles of the world at once or to face difficulties now which can well be left till later.. Ha la more interested in establishing the spirit of interna tional eo-operatton and In bringing about successful International co-oper ation upon even a limited scale than he is In facing all the difficulties at once. The trouble with talk of an associa tion of nationa is that this la the world's box of troubles. You mention It and Senator Borah jumps to his feet and the specter of United States senate opposition rises before the lor elgn delegations. Whnt About German. You mention it and immediately the question of Germany arises. What about Germany? Shall she be taken In? What assurance can she be ready to give to France?, What about land aisarmament in juuroper The relatively principal problems which Mr. .Hughes chose to discuss became complicated. Europe begins to overshadow Asia In Washington, and Europe is just- now In an unhappy state, with England, France and Italy more sharply Irritated against each of them than before the war. The difference of opinion exists be tween President Harding and his sec retary of state on this question of In ternatlonal association is slight. Both desire to see the nations permanently drawn togethor for mutual conference as a result of this present meeting in wasntngton. If any difference can be found It Is In the expediency of discussing now a subject that Is far off in the future as international association Is now. Ana It is only fair to say that too much emphasis should not attach to the White House utterances of Friday: As said In this correspondence on Saturday the White House remarks were rather the expression of a pious nope man tne deliberate proposal on a plan. i The talk of an association gives Mr. ioya ueorge his opportunity to broaden the scope of the conference and by coming here perhaps bring about results which will contribute more to the prestige of his country than the turn events have taken since the British delegates assembled here on raovemDer lz. upon the whole the British have piayea a rather secondary role In Washington.

DO NEED MORE MEETINGS But Further Conferences to Hear Reports Long Way From Any Kind of League. EUROPE WANTS ALLIANCE Europe Haa snatched at the Idea of Aaaoclatloa and Perverted It For Europe Waata tutted States Helping In Her Troublea. Dally New, Bureau and Ttlecwa Offtca, C-J3 Albae BulldlDi IB, L-aa-d ami By KHANK H. BlMU.tDH (forarijlil. 1921. by tb Md'lun Nmpawr D-ndlrate) Washington, Nov. 28. Three or four days of violent discussion of the sug gestion emerging from the While House on Friday that the present con ference might be widened and con tinued huve served to permit the ar rival at certain reasonable estimates as to the purpose of the proposal it self and the circumstances In which It was made. Above . all, It Is now pos sible to Indicate with some degree of accuracy that there has been an absurd exaggeration of what was In reality an expression of hops rather than a declaration of principle or the dis closure of a matured plan. It Is not true that there exists at the present moment a clear or even a vague but more or less tangible plan for the creation of an association of nations. What is rtue ia that the Pres ident and the secretary of state, see ing the progress That has been made here in Washington, have both consid ered the possibility that when the con ference adjourns, If the present suc cess continues, there would be some natural and logical ' reason for some resolution or action looking to some similar session here or elsewhere at a later date. , How It Would Work. To take a simple Illustration. The other day it was resolved to appoint commissions to Investigate subjects of which the extraterritorial situation In China was one. Such a commission could not report back to the present conference because there would not be time. Thus it was agreed that It should report to the governments here rep resented. But would It not be natural that If many such commissions were appointed there should be a new In ternatlonal meeting, perhaps In Wash Ington? Again, supposing that many far east ern questions remained unsettled and necessarily unsettled, would It not be natural that these should be later dis cussed In Washington? Finally, a sug gestion coming from some European source, not official, would it not be worth while to undertake some sort of a far eastern experiment in interna tional gatherings and make Washing ton the clearing house for the neces sary exchange of official views on f ar veastern- muturaT" Now I do not think that I violate any confidence when I say that the under lying idea In all this more or less private discussion which went on be fore the public disclosure of Friday was based upon the assumption that nothing would be possible unless It should be a natural and a logical it-4 velopment of what is now taking place. Even more, the very White House sug gestion itself did not come as the con sequence of a carefully prearranged plan, but developed Itself In casual conversation and was the expression of hope, not the revelation of policy. The fashion in which Europe leaped upon the White House suggestion must give pause and Invite reflection. What we had was the expression of the President's hope that success in Wash ington might lead to an extension of the habit of international conferences and with the extension an expansion in the list of countries Invited to par ticipate. What Europe, as usual, made of this was something quite different from the American Idea and something naturally but necessarily desirably adapted to European needs or wishes. Whnt They Old To Wllaon, Everyone whose mind travels back three years recalls that when Mr. Will son went to Europe he had only vague conception of a league of na tions, but that when he returned he had a whole system, mainly contributed by Europeans and, in the view of many Americans, at least, involving us in all sorts of European complications. Now, the European reaction to the recent White House suggestion shows that Europe has again the hope to trans form another American conception. wholly vague like Mr. Wilson's Into ,nnth.l n.i.lu .nll.lmanl n h. & another precise enlistment of the United States in Europe. If Lloyd -George comes over, as is now likely but by no means certain, it will ba with ths hops of enlisting ths United States in the campaign of the British government to bring order in Europe by applying; British and not French ideas to Germany. If the agenda of the present conference is ex panded in the least degree, we shall in stantly have all the fighting now go ing on between London, Paris, Berlin and Rome transferred to an American field. What each European country desires Is to have the United States back Its plans and Its interests against the rival aspirations of its neighbors. In this it is sincere, because it honestly believes that its way Is ths only right and reasonable way. But It we back any country against any other, we shall be faced with an immediate clash with the nations which feel themselves ag grieved or a demand from them for a guarantee such as Mr. Wilson gave to France in return for French acceptance of the American and British view as to the Rhine. - Forelgaers Disappointed. - From the London point of view, as dlaolosed in many British newspaper comments In recent days,' the Wash ington conference is a failure to date because it has not resulted in an American effort to bring about a re duction of French armies In accordance with British conceptions; because, too, it haa not opened the way to an Anglo-American-Japanese association to re place the Anrrlo-Japanese alliance. Frora the French point of view it has been a- profound disappointment be cause It has not led to the revival of the Anglo-American guarantee of France against German attack. Italy, too, is obviously disappointed because she, too, hoped to see Washington re strain Paris and Brland meet with complete defeat, instead of getting away with more than a quasi-vlctory incident to the decision of the confer ence not to go seriously into the ques tion of land armaments. What Is not yet perceived In Amer ica is the extent to which Europe re gards the Washington conference as a failure because Mr. Hughes has rigidly and consistently avoided Eu (Continued on I'ags NinaJ C.

That there Is a general improvement in the Industrial and employment situation In North Carolina Is the opinion of the "Indus trial Employment Survey Bulletin," published by the federal employment service, which has been making a study of conditions In all parts of the coun try. The bulletin draws its conclu sions from reports received from 186 cotton mills, to lumber plants, II fer tiliser manufacturing concerns and a number of other industries. The publication runs about a month behind and It ia reasonable to presume that conditions are somewhat better now than they were when the copy was prepared. The following notes about the different towns show that there Is a large housing shortage In nearly all of the larger towns, with the exception of Winston-Salem. Charlotte reports a very marked Increase in building ac tlvity durlng the past few months with better prospects for meeting ths hous ing shortage. Common Labor Absorbed. A number of ths oitles report that the letting of road contraots has prac tlcally absorbed all of the common and unskilled labor In their seotlons, while building operations are giving employ ment to a large number of carpenters and other skilled wood workers. The additional lettlngs of contracts since the reports were sent in will help con dlttons in other sections of the state. The report of the six free employ ment bureaus for the week also shows Improvement over previous weeks. The bureaus found jobs for 121 of the Its who were referred, which was about IS per cent. Registrations of those seeking jobs during the week was 40 per cent more than this number, how ever, there being (IS applications or registrations with the different bu reaus.

Hfhce the last session of the legisla ture senator Kanipe haa been ap pointed to a federal position with the marshal of western North Carolina, arid consequently resigned his seat In the senate. When the special elections were called Mr. Squires announced that he would be a candidate for the short session, and while there was Republl can opposition, bested his opponent.
