Washington, Nov. 30. "The con ference on limitation of armaments may bring a blessing in co-operation and fruition, or a curse of reaction, disappointment and . antagonism" said Dr. Henry Allen Tupper of Hie First Baptist church, in addressing his congregation just before he left for a trip South and West. What will be the answer? While there is given at regular intervals encourag ing words from the headquarters ol the various delegations , at the con ference, there is to be found an in creasing pessimistic note among vari ous sneeial writers who are here in the roles of interpreters of the spirit of the conference. . "Just what na3 been done by the Washington con ference?" asks one of these writers, and answers his own question by saying: ,, ,:T "Very little" going on to say this: "The Hughes proposal has been ac cepted by all "in principle." That may mean much and it may mean little. How little it me'"s in this instance is best pictured y a com munique issued at the direction of Kato. the text of which is here given verbatim, til's reading: '.

Admittedly there has been reached no solution of the problem present ed by Japan.

The question of a three or four power agreement to place the Anglo-Japanese aUittttce i demanding increased attention among the arms delegates while they wait for Japan to define her position on the naval ratio. The latest suggestion, contemplat ing an entente to include the United States, Great Britain, Japan and France, has developed to the point where a tentative treaty draft is un der consideration in some quarters al though it has not been formally pre sented to the conference.

HICKORY PEOPLE WANT HARD SURFACED ROAD Hickory, Dec. 7. Hickory peo ple are interested in the agitation in Lincolnton and Morganton for a hard surfaced road from Lincolnton thru Morganton to Lenoir, and citizens of this city are prepared to go the limit to retain the Hickory-Lenoir road as the natural highway to Blowing Rock and the mountain country back of that town. The fact that this highway has always been used, that Hickory has been a pioneer in road building in this part of the state, and that so far as the people of the mountains are con cerned, the Hickory-Lenoir road is the logical route, are matters as well known in state circles almost as in this immediate vicinity. It is indicat ed that none of the organizations here will rest for a day until what all re gard as the natural road is constructed. Washington, Dec. 5.

The assurance that Uncle Sam would sit around the green table brought the Ger man mark from a third of a cent to two thirds of a cent. This shows how confidence helps exchange rates. Otto Kahn, a big banker in New York, attacked the "agricultural bloc" in a statement he issued the other day. He says it is detrimen tal to legislate on business matters without consulting and heeding business men. That is precisely how come the agricultural bloc. They contend that they are business men and that legislation has been en acted without consulting them or taking their interests into account. Small business is as important to the man engaged in it as big busi ness is to the man engaged in lhat. ' News and Observer, Berlin, Dec. 6.
