This, unfortunately, is no unusual thing in China, and per- haps graver accusations are made against other members of the same Cabinet Whether it was force of public opinion or the desire to rid himself of a Kuaming tang nominee from his Cabinet which prompted the Premier cannot be said at present, but he took action and brought the matter to the notice of the President, who is reported to have expressed himself very vigorously in communting upon the Minister's alleged misdeeds, and to have ordered Dr. CHEN CHIN-TAU to be placed in custody pending legal investigation and trial. Associated with Dr. Omes in his dismissal are the Vice-Minister and two department chiefs. The Minister blames the Vice-Minister for the "squeeze, and the latter socks to fasten the guilt upon. his chief. What makes the present action the more remarkable is that it is directed against a man who was regarded as of the type to whom China must look for her reorganisation and reform. Dr. CHEN CAIN-TAO, who was educated abroad, has been regarded as one of China's best- known financial experts. His career is an interesting one. Formerly manager of the Ta Ching Bank, he became head of the Audit Department in 1912.
