PROVISIONAL COURT SENSATION,

CHIEF JUSTICE IN IGORANCE OF DEVELOPMENTS.

:

Dr. Wang Chung-hui, Minister of Justice of the Nationalist Govern- ment, in discussing the Provisional Court problem with a representa- tive of the North-China Daily News, last week, said:

It is understood from other sources that no notification of the dismissal of Judge Loo Hsing-yuan or the appointment of Miss Soumia Tcheng has been received by any Nationalist official in Shanghai and, therefore, there can be no change in the court's personnel until this notification has been sent.
