However, two of those nominated for his cabinet have indicated their in- tention of taking up their portfolios Gen.

K. Wellington, former minister to Great Rritain and the United States, also is inclined to accept the finance portfolio. In this post he hopes for the successful conclusion of the international tariff conference, which he believes would bring into imme- | diate operation the surtaxes on the Chinese maritime customs granted by the Washington conference, resulting | in a revival of «China’s credit, now at its_lowest ebb.

Politicians Flock Back. A new disturbing element in the al ready confused situation has arisen in the flocking to Peking of members of the off Parllamant, which was dis- banded in 1924, when Marshal Feng Yu-Hslang, himself since ousted from power. effected a coup which gave him control of Peking and the government.

Cham. hers of commerce and educational and other bodies are hombarding the two war lords—allies in name. but rival for power in fact—with protests against the reassembling of this body.
