American finance, the beginning OF an
attempt by the Chinese Government to
borrow heavily from America.
At the same time, according TO Prof.
Beard. Prof. Jeremiah Whipple jerks of
New York University, spokesman In
America for tho Chinese Government an
now constituted, is beginning a press cam

Prof Beard now appears as the spokes-
man for the radicals, particularly Gen.
Hwang Hsng, whom he represented in
his Interview with reporter for THE SUN
yesterday. Admittedly he is building a
backfre against Prof Jenks's campaign.
He said that the radicals are Just as
much opposed TO Yuan Shih-kai as they
ever were and that the revolt against
Yuan Shih-kafs rule will surely come
when the plans are ready. lie denied
that any negotiations have been begun TO
