BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923, PEKING, July 7.—While his politi- cal aides here are buylng the votes of parllament members and his po- litical lieutenants are shifting troops under his command to strategical positions, Marshal Paaokun, candi- date for president and dominant fig- ures in Chinese government affairs is quietly planting trees on his big estate at Paotingfu, ninety miles south of Peking. Visited there by the writer, the ranking senior of China's three grand marshals and the nominal head of the central government's military denied that he s ambitious to the presidency of China, but declared himself willing “if the peo- ple want him.” Soft voiced, speaking almost _hesitatingly, 1 a fatherly Chinese as the haughty war Jord, such as he has been pictured. Need Central Rule. ‘Personally,” he sald, “I want to see the question of the president and the selecting of a cabinet quickly settled. China needs a strong oen- tral government in order to compel the various provinclal governments to obey its mandates and function properly. Once we have a oentral government that commands respect there will be no difficulty in solving China’s financial and military prob- lems, “T am in favor of creating & com- mission composed of representative Chinese business men to work out the problem of foreign debts and the creation of w sinking fund to meet our national obligations after such a commission has worked out the terms of payme ‘There have been much empty talk and much waving of flags regarding troop disbandment. That will come about naturally when the country has been restored to normaley.” Cause of Flight. Marshal Tsao emphatically denied responsibility for the fiight of Presi- dent Li Yuan-hung to Tlentsin. He declared it was the natural sequel to ousted president's _unfulfilled promises to pay the wages of sol- | diers under Gen. Feng Yuh-slang, so calied “Christian general,” and of the Peking police force. He admitted, however, that Gen. Feng, whose de- mands resuited in the flight of Presi- dent Li Yuan-hung, {s under his ju- risdiction and orders. Apropos of his own alleged ambl- become President, Marshal a: ' { i r ago, after defeating Gen. so-lin’ and his Manchurian their attack on Peking, I ve become President had I so desired. I restored parliament and Li Ypan-hung, whom I favored, was chosen.” Regarding the great number of ban- dits infesting the three provinces which are a part of his military in- spectorate, Marshal Tsao asserted he had issued orders for the suppression of all bandits between the Yangtse and Shanhalkwan rivers and that commanding officers of military forces were reporting progress from time to time. The military governor of Shantung province, He sald, had ten- dered his resignation as a result of the Linching train hold-up and it is now awaiting acceptance by parliament. He denled having authority to ap- point military governors in the prov- inces which are under his military Jjurisdiction. You Have Met Her. From Capper's Farmer.
