THE PEKIN CRISIS
EFFECTS IN WASHINGTON.
(«kit» rim ai»ociah»n.—cottumt.)
WASHINGTON,- 19th December. American and Chinese circles are discussing to-night the effect the change of Government will have on the Chinees : to the Washington Conference. The results may be summarised thus: —First, the resignation of tho President, Hsu Shih Chang, with Li Yuan Hung, as successor; second, the selection of a strong man as Premier, working for the financial rehabilitation of China as well as its unification; third, acceptance of .an international consortium, »with participation in the Chinese banking group, which may advance a loan to purchase the Shantung railway; fourth, the adoption of policies calculated to strengthen the hands of the delegates, with which may be coupled the necessity of placing their finances in a better condition. It is asserted that the Chinese finances are so bad at present that some of tho delegation are in arrears with their expenses, and are meeting them out of their own pockets. Commenting on the change of Government at P<jjrin, Dr. Wellington Koo said it would not make any difference to the delegation, as the Foreign Minister in the late Cabinet was now Acting-Prime Minister.
