OUR PEKING LETTER: (From Our Own Correspondent)}]

Peking, November S.

The Senate on Tuesday endors- ed the House of Representatives' approval of General Chin Yung- peng as Prime Minister, and this was taken as a forecast of the early completion of the new Cabinet. Diculties. however, have been encountered. The Anfu Club is disinclined to allow itself to be ridden over roughshod by the forceful Premier and is putting up a struggle to have its nominees elected to the more lucrative posts. Presumably thin realises the crass stupinity of appointing : men to positions simply as a reward for personal or political services and seems to be daring enouza 13

This, of course, need not be taken seriously. may not, be expedient 20 issue if communique on the subject just at present but there is no doubt that a deal of some kind has been put through. Confirmation of this view is afforded by the semi-offic- ial explanation, that the loan in question is not a new one but is the completion of a transaction which was opened more than two years ago under the regime of.

Wednesday was the annivers ary of the birthday of the Pre- sident. He received congratulat- Cory visits from Ministers and officials and as usual the ex- Imperial Household sent a repre- sentative to feilsitate Hsu Shih- chang on the interesting occasiori. There were no presents.

One report is that he proposes to negotiate direct with Sondern leaders, while the fact that he is determined on disLand. ment of trougs and his poling of apyrinting ministers wilo do not derive their endentials fim the tucionale, prove that he is willing I to nonsider the other side as much ļas un prasónubiy can.

PARK LANE'S WASHING.“

The secret of Park-lane's weekly washing day is out. The aristocratic and wealthy residents of the neighbourhood have not been forced by high prices to follow the economical habits of people in poorere districtsOne of them at leasts 6ghting the laundry profiteer, in proper Park-lane. net East End *tyle. This gentleman is a Colonial millionaire. who has started a small private laundry adjoin- jing his residence at the Piccadil- |ly end of Park-lane. The enter- prise has proved so successful that doubtless many of the millionaire's neighbours are already thinking of following his example.

"It would be torture to allow the long-suffering housewife, victimised by the public laundry profiteer, to see this millionaire's washing, writes a correspondent 10.a Home paper. The amount of work performed in a recent week would, according to present prices, have cost £45. It was turned out in Park-lane, for £13. inclusive of wages, power and material.

The plant consists of rotary washing machines, one hydro. & small calender.or flat-work ironer, several electric hand irons, and small hot-air drying room. The diminutive plant is driven by electric motor und steam for the washing machines and calender is generated by a "coffee por whose toy-like proportions are belied by its steady production of steam.
