The only question raised by Washington officials is whether the new Peking Gor ernment is stable enough to support the Dawes plan. and whether the costly civil war will continue to render impossible the balancing. of the Budget and foreign debt settlement

A message of the next day to the Financial News:

It is learned that the United States and other Great Powers have combined to restore political order and Enancial stability in China. The most important diplomatic conference in the Far East for years is now proceeding in Pektag. at which representatives of the United

Britain. States,

France, Italy. and Japan are preparing a plan to be offered to the Peking Government as the price of coutinned recognition.

The plan involves oders of diplomatic and economic support without interven tion. It is stated that the programme is primarily for the assistance of China. anif not for the protection of foreign in- terests. The first condition.is agreement anoog the Chinese factions and the cessation of civil war. General Feng Yu Hsiang will not be recognized unless he is able to establish a representative Gov- ernment with a promise of permanence this condition mencing that the rival leaders, Chang Tso Lin, Sun, Yat Sen.

Of course, sir, tastes differ. Some people have judgment and others have none. But I've more respect, sir, for the man who smokes always an inferior cigarette than the man who smokes good ones one day and just anything the next. Yes, sir, I can say it posi- tively hurts to hand Kensitas to such smokers. Kensitas were not intended for such poor judges because Kensitas are too good to waste. No, sir, they were made for you and all good judges of good cigar-
