NOT GIVE ANY STATE

PEKING, China.-President Yuan
Shfh-Kai, in a recent statement, struck
hard blow at nepotism, which is so
thoroughly entrenched in the Far East
because of the devotion to family and
the belief that caring for relatives is
the best means of paying proper re-
spect to ancestors. He said: Il have
never allowed my relatives to enter
into government service. because /
have strong reasons to believe that
to give, government appointments to
them, especially if they have no expe-
rience or proper qualifications, would
only serve to convert them into para
sites or dependents. To show favor
to ones relatives or friends is purely
a personal matter and should not be
done at the country's expense"
