So far so good. Later in the day one of the smaller parties had a session and, after deliberation, came to the conclusion that it would be unwise to proceed with the election of Vice-Pre- dent, inasmuch as it would close the door to a settlement with the South. If the elected Vice-President had to be sacri- ficed it would involve a face-losing process which is distasteful to all Chinese, This thought evidently proved disturbing; and it was not long before it was reported that absentees would make it imposible to obtain a quorum In this way: all' faces would be saved.
