EXPECT DEBATE ON
QUESTION OF MANDATES
Discussion of Question Likely
to Produce Animated De
bate on Floor of Assembly
-Canadian Delegate Pushes
For Action.
(By The Associated Press.)
GENEVA, Dec. 15. Discussion of
the question of mandates on the floor of
the assembly of the league of nations
seemed today to be probable and it was
expected there would be an animated de
bate before the subject was disposed of.
When nctual debate might begin was not
indicated, but statements of delegates to
the assembly reflected the view that be
fore the end of the present meeting the
whole question would be fully consider
ed. A sub-committee of committee number
six, which has been considering the ques
tion of mandates held stormy sessions
yesterday and Monday, some of the
members, including C. J. Doherty, of
Canada, and Dr. Nansen, of Norway,
pushing for action, while others appear
ed indifferent. It appears the council
of the league has encountered difficulties
in securing satisfactory replies from the
supreme couneil and from the mandato
ry powers concerning the terms of the
mandates and the boundaries of terri
tories placed under the supervision of
vprinns nations. Tn addition. the coun
cil of the league is said to have delayed
the giving of information requested in
relation to other matters .
There is a strong current of opinion in
the assembly that the mandates under
which the powers fix their own terms are
not properly mandates, and there are
indications the question may be thrown
back upon the supreme allied council if
sufficient information has not been se
cured before Thursday night. The com
mittee in charge of the matter holds that
it must have this information before it
can make an intelligent report.
On the program was the task of elect
ing new members to the league, the
choosing of four new elective members of
the council and the disposing of ques
tions regarding the "white slave" traf
fic and the opium trade, which "wfls left
over from yesterday's session.
It appeared that Austria would proba
bly be admitted to the league without op
position, and that Bulgaria would also
be aceorded membership. In her case,
however, France, it was said, would
probably refuse to vote. It seemed
probable that Brazil would again be gir
en a place on the council, and that a sim
ilar honor would be given Spain. China
had many supporters as a successor to
Greece, and it appeared Norway would
replace Belgium. There were many del
egates, however, who were expected to
support Belgium when the election took
place. -
, Mr. J. B. Baber, manager of the
Star Grocery, had .the misfortune last
night to break his right arm while ertnk
ug hie Chevrolet. The fracture was not
very serious one, however, and. Mr.
Baber is able to tie out today.
Following Meeting Held Tues
' day Four County Officen
Will Be Appointed Immedi
ately to Patrol County
Further Legislation Needd.
Gaston county is to hare, as a tem
porary measure, until the legislature
meets in January, four rural policemen.
These are to be appointed at once, in
prder that .they may begin their duties
before the Christmas holidays begin. This
was the compromise decision arrived at
hy the board of county commissioners
Tuesday afternoon after hearing delega
tions from the several parts of the county
tit a meeting Tuesday morning.
It is understood that the members of
the board gere sharply divided as to the
advisability of employing rural police.
All were agreed on the necessity of some
form of protection for those who re
quested it, but the question of how to
finance the proposition was the obstacle
in the way. The commissioners are loath
to impose any further tax on the people
of the county, and as matters now stand,
it is said that an additional tax is the
only method by which the fnnds can be
raised to pay the salaries of these police
men, unless some special act of the Gen
eral Assembly makes possible the divert
ing of the fines and forfeitures from the
school board to this purpose.
Four policemen, at a salary of $100
per month, are to be appointed by the
sheriff of the county in conjunction with
the board of county commissioners to
serve for a period of at least 30 days, or
until such time as tho legislature makes
provision for additional funds for the
work. These men, it is understood, will
patrol the county in pairs with particular
vigilance to be directed toward the whte
key traffickers who are expected to be
unusually active at this time of year.
HARDING SEEKS ADVICE
FROM PROGRESSIVES
(By The Associated Press.)
MARION, O., Dec, 15. In his con
sulfations on public questions, President
elect Harding turned today to the pro
gressive wing of republicanism, having
an appointment with Raymond Robins,
a former leader of the progressive party
and, during the last campaign, a member
of the republican executive committee.
It was understood that, although the
plan for an association of nations was
one of the principal subjects to be dis
cussed at the conference, Mr. Ilarding
also desired to hear his visitors advise
for several domestic problems. For
many years Mr. Robins has been inter
ested in social welfare and is a student
of labor conditions.
Tonight the President elect is to deliv
er his first public address since his re
turn to Marion, speaking here at a state

some of the finest birds ever seen in this
section the Gaston County Poultry Asso
ciation's annual show now going on up
.sl;iirs in the Rankin building, corner of

with the very best poultry shows in the

doubt have been more birds on exhibition.
Every inch of available space is being
used and in many instances the pens had
to be stacked two deep.
Mr. Joseph Warden, of Mecklenburg
