RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT

AT PEKING.

MR. PAN FU'S CLAIM FOR THE NEW ARRANGEMENT.

STRIVING FOR POLITICAL AND MILITARY CO-ORDINATION,

NEW PROBLEMS FOR CHANG TSO LIN.

PERINO, June 21st.

It merely signies that we now have some kind of a responsible Government in Peking," said Pan Fn last night soon after he had nssumed office as Premier in Chang Too Lin's Military Government. That is the muin point to emphasize. It is impossible as yet

Removal By Promotion. Foreign attention is focussed upon the military upshot of the confer The most striking achieve mont so far has been the defiance of Governor Yen Hai Shan's very belligerent communication to Chang Too Lin advising him to retire to Makden. Fenglion's reply was to retire Chang Ts Lin into the posi- tion of a Chief Excentive, a position that would secan to have put him to tell you exactly what our pre-forever out of the running for the gramme will be.

If the war- fords abide by their promises, we are on the high road to military unification, the first expression of which in Peking will be the absorp tion of the headquarters of the Ankuochun by the new Ministry of Military Affairs, under General Ho Feng Lin. You do not have to tell Shanghai who General. Ho is nor recommend him. He is well known, and I believe it will be generally agreed tha post at least will be in capable hands.

Policy Of Reorganization,

Together with military unifica- tion we hope to pursue a policy of reorganization in communications

and finance, with finance first. My programme includes the abolition of superfluous departaments and the anilgamation of others. The Salt Administration, for instaner, and the Wing and Talmcco Bureau, the Board of Audit and other organs that formerly had responsible chiefs, will now be brought under een tralized control in the Ministry of Finance in a manner that will dis pense with sinceures,
