NEWS FROM THE
STATE CAPITOL
(By Maxwell Gorman)
RALEIGH, July 1. President
Wilson is likely to visit North Car
olina and speak at Raleigh about
the latter part of the present
month of July, according to pre
sent calculations hereabouts The
visit is expected to occur in'-res
ponse '"to the invitation extended
during the recent session of the
Legislature, and on the final cir
cuit of his contemplated swing a
round the country in behalf of
the ratification of the Peace Trea
ty embodying the League of Na
tions covenant. It can not be
stated in advance of the return
of the President (who is expect
ed to land July 7th) just when he.
will visit this State, but the belief
is general hereabouts that he will
come. ;
jrov. tfickett is plannmo- to
"employ force" in straightening
out the labor troubles at Baden,
the important industrial Stanly
county town, where union work
ers have informed the governor
steps are being taken by the big
power companies to evict workers
from houses owned by the com
panies and who, it is alleged, are
being discharged because they
have identified themselves with
labor organizations- The "open
shop" policy which brought a
bout the recent adjustment of
labor trouble in cotton mills of
this state, has been the plan en
dorsed by the governor and under
that policy he would as quickly
condemn action by union labor
workers who declined to work
with non-union wrorkmen.

PEACE CONF3RENCE
JAPAN
INJUSTICE TO CHINA
PARIS, July 1. Now that the
work ; of the conference is over
and it is possible to review the ac
eomplishments of the past six
months, diplomats here are be
coming more and more deeply
convinced that the Japanese
have more reason in bo .ant;fini
than any other delegation with
the proportion of the spoils of
war which they are bearing away
with them from Paris.
The Japanese came to the con
ference with limited aims; they
leave with the utmost they really
hoped to get. No other peace
commission can boast as much,
not even the British.
Lloyd George has to go back to
England admitting that instead
of "paying all the war costs"
as he told the British electorate
would be the oaseGermany could
be made to bear less than a quar
ter of Britain's financial losses.
Baron Makine entered the con
ference as senior Japanese dele
gate, announcing that Japan had
'n0 territorial ambitions in China
and that as for Ssingtau, "she
would hand it back to China un
der terms of the notes exchanged
between China and Japan in May
1915." All that Japan needed was
for the conference to give her an
economic stranglehold on Shan
tung, China's richest province,
and although President Wilson
rebelled against a manifest injus
tice to China, Japan had Her way
because she had tied up all the
Entente powers with secret agree
ments concluded whilst the war
was m progress.
Japan-China Exchanges
The essential passages of the
notes exchanged in May, 1915. be
tween China and Japan were as
follows :
"At the conclusion of the pre
sent wa rthe Japanese Govern
ment receives the absolute free
disposition of the leased territory
of Kiau Chau Bay, Japan will re
turn it to China under the follow
ing conditions :
"1 Opening of the whole Kise
Chau as a commercial port. 1
"2 Establishment of a Japa
nese concession in any locality
designated by the Japanese Government-
"3 Establishment, if the Pow
ers so desire, of an international
concession
