Eour-party treaty, pronouncing such
differing construction as "unim-

At the same time he repudiated the
Idea entertained by an increasing NUM-
Der of Senators that the Americans
are withholding information from
the country regarding the treaty.
He did not 60 into details, but it
was taken for granted that he referred
to the charge that Secretary Hughes
and Senator Lodge, in defining the
purposes and bearing of the treaty at
the recent plenary session of the Con-
ference made no mention of the fact
that this pact extends to the home
land of Japan, a fact which came 10
light week after the treaty was made
public.
Also the President let it be known
that he saw no necessity whatever for
any reservation to the treaty providing
against the use Of the armed forces OF
this country without action on the
part Of Congress.
President Harding in a formal state
ment, regarding differences of inter
probation which have arisen on the

The President will offer no com

TO magnify the differing constructions
on the fourparty treaty. To him these
are lunimportant. The big things
aimed at are understandings for peace
ard an agreement to meet and dis
Auss the preservation of peace when
ever 1t is threatened.
No alliance or ENHANCEMENT is
thought of-none win be negotiated.
It would be better to rejoice over
things accomplished than to dwell on
differing views which can be of no
great consequence.
Full Confidence In Delegates.
The President is unwilling that the
unjustif1ed charge that the United
States delegates are withholding in
formation shall go unchallenged. He
had full confidence, else he had not
chosen them, and he has full conf
dence now and is more than gratifed
over their efforts, because they are

citation can take the matter. to higher
authorities; and such will very like
ly be the course pursued
1t is not very difficult to figure the
motives of Mr.. Bradley Hardly any
one in this section would ever for
Ia moment believe that he has any
other idea in view than that of tax
ing the victory away from a Carolina
town 1t may be that he even has
fond hopes that his team or at least
the team that he represents. will par
ticipate in a post season series. At
least it is just little difficult to
understand why he has waited until
this late date-to render decision. 1t
is also question as TO whether the
matter would have arisen at all if
Wilson had failed in winning the
second half Other teams admittedly
over during the same period have
had no games taken away from them,
and they are just as guilty as are
we-some of them more so in that
they have made no effort to get with
in the limit The difference is that
we won and they didn't.
OF course it is impossible just at
this writing to tell exactly what will
happen in Richmond Tuesday night

that the meeting will be hot one,

PRES. BRADLEY'S
LAEST STUNT

For the third or fourth time Presi-
dent Bradley of the Virginia League
has shifted his position, and has just
announced through the Associated
Press that he will throw out all
games won by Wilson from July 4th.
to July 23rd. In his announcement
President Bradley states that he is
merely doing what should have been
done by the Virginia League at it's
Norfolk meeting on July 23rd. from
which date the Wilson team might
have had a chance to recover from
such set back. However President
Bradley has waited until this late
date to make decision that is vital,
and one that allowed to stand will
of course cut US out of a well earned
victory.
1t is very doubtful as to whether
President Bradley has the authority
to throw the games out or not AT
least the final Jurisdiction in this
matter in so far as the Virginia
League is concerned rests in the
hands of the Virginia League Di-
rectors who are in session Tuesday
night in Richmond. If after the mat

We begin today with two and a

League meeting is inclined to be at
all fair they will be forced to award
Wilson the game that was due to be
played in Tarboro on our last trip
there. This would give us a full
three games lead, and in order for
Norfolk to win they would have to
take all six while we lose four of the
six remaining. It is hardly likely
that we will lose four out of six;
neither is it likely that they will win
six row,
