As reported in my telegram No. 27 of February 13th the vacant portfolio of Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet was filled by the appointment of Mr. Kuang Fu, a comparatively unknown individual but a close personal friend of the Premier.
Mr. Huang was educated in Japan, followed for a time a
military career (though he discreetly dropped the title of
General on taking charge of the Wai Chiao Fu), and was one
of the Advisors attached to the Chinese Delegation at
Washington. Unassuming and mild in manner, he showed every
desire to be friendly but his complete ignorance of the
affairs of his Ministry, coupled with his lack of authority,
did not tend to facilitate the transaction of diplomatic
business. Almost immediately on assuming office he found
himself in the embarrassing situation of having to notify
the Japanese Government of the intention of his Government
to abrogate the Sino-Japanese gréements of 1915 (see my
despatches Nos. 154 and 174 of the 10th and 15th instant) and
soon after was plunged into the recent Cabinet crisis reported
on below. Finding the burden too great, he resigned a few days ago and withdrew from Paking and, though his resignation
has not yet been accepted, the Fai Chiao Fu is once more without a head. During the past twelve months no less than five Ministers for Foreign Affairs have held office, all in an acting capacity, as none of them, including Mr.Huang, were approved by Parliament, The Vice-Minister, who has remained throughout, is an amiable nonentity, whose principal duties are connected with social functions, and it will be readily understood that the foreign representatives in Paking have been more than usually handicapped in their attempts to secure satisfaction in the numerous minor oases awaiting a settle-
ment with the Chinese Government.
