POWERS DECIDE
 ON {. Q. MATTER
Foreign Post Offices in China to
 Go January 1, 1928

Washington, Nov. 2S.-(By the As sociated Press)-A resolution declar- ing for relinquishment of foreign post office privileges in China was adopted today by the nine powers sitting as a committee on Pacific and Far East ern questions.
 The Japanese delegates, it was said did not object to January 1, 1923 as the date for abandoning their post offices but felt that they did not have the authority to agree to that date without referring the matter to Tollio.
 The date of January 1, 1923 was set for sthe abandonment of foreign Dostoniccs and this was agreed to by all the powers represented except Japan, whose representatives asked for time to hear from their govern mcnt.
 The nine powers deferred final ac- ton until tomorrow on the question of extra territorial rights in China. The principle of closing foreign courts in China it was said was agreed to but consideration of the formal rcso- lution went over.
 Chinese representatives at today's meeting brought up the domestic con trol of Chinese railways. The question | however went over for consideration | at another meeting of the full nine 1 powers tomorrow morning.
 The Chinese railway question ac. cording to Chinese representative would necessarily involve the matter o | Shantung, which is regarded as on, of the big problems with which thu Washington conference may have tC deal so far as Far Eastern affairs are | concerned
