Prior to Marshal Chang tial, Houch Ling's resignation, there was a political triangle in this country with North China and South China acting almost inde- pendently of the Central Govern- Ching Wei's vigorous opposition and his resignation resulted in the banding over of military affairs in North China to the control of the National Military Council. Although the Peiping Branch Poli- tien) Council has not been abolish- ed, many members of the Council are designated by the Government, and there are at present no in dications that the Central Govern ment's orders will not be follow ed. Furthermore, with the military in North China in the power hands of the National Military | Council, there will be no opportu- titude and that of the Chinese au-nity for any undesirable military thorities who stopped the work of lender to foment trouble there." his expedition in mid-air just when he was on the point of crowning the labours of ten years.
