REPUBLIC CHINA
LIKELY To Be
REORGAN|zED

PEKING, Jan. 5-The Chinese re-
public must have a new constitution,
new election law and parliament
must be recognized. in the opinion
of President Feng Kwo-chang, and
Premier Tuan Chi-jui
An effort to achieve these objects
is in progress in the sessions of the
new national council, called by the
president and the premier for that
purpose
Most of China's governmental diff
culties during the last six years were
attributed by Premier Tuan in ar ad-
dress to the national council to inn
projections in the constitution. 1t is
the desire of the president and the
premier that a new constitution shall
be adopted and that it shall contain
provisions for satisfactory coordina-
ton of the executive legislative and
judicial branches of the government
Both officiatt ronites out in address
es to the council that it was the abb
sence of such provisions in the pres
ent constitution that led to the out
break of numerous disorders and re-
volts which have transpired in this
country since the beginning of the
attempt to organize a republic form Of
government.
The president and the premier ap-
parently have divergent views as to
whether the new constitution should
be promulgated by the national coun-
ell or by new parliament to be sum-
moned after the work of the council
is finished. President Gent told the
council that he sincerely hoped that
after it had revised the Chinese cleo
ton laws, parliament would be called
to draft and promulgate the constitu-
ton; but Premier Tuan urged the
council itself to amend the funda-
mental law Of the Chinese stare. p,,--
Unless we have a strong and sound
government, we never win be able to
survive the struggle of the nations"
declared the president. ITO form a
nation and to establish it on a firm
basis is colossal task. Six years Is
too short a time to prove whether
government by the people is suitable
for China. Therefore, I entertain great
expectations for the success Of your
task"

abundance OF workout for person de-
string to be in shape for mat battle.

fore with favorable results.
GOOD PRELIMlNARlES
Although Lawrence has announced
that he has retired from the game. he
agreed to 90 on with the fireman to
settle the affair and the date for the
match was set so he would have ample
time to get in condition. Good prelim-
inaries are being arranged between
Lester Farmer Cradle. Percy Nc
CURE. Young Mound and grappler

GRAIN REVIEW,

Chicago. May 2s.-Prospects that the
crop movement would increase as soon
as planting was completed, had bear
ish influence today in the corn mar
ket. After opening unchanged to Y
higher, with July $1.41h to u and
June not quoted the market underwent
a decided sag and then showed some
thing OF rally
Subsequently, bears were favored by
reports Of the amount of re-planting
necessary this year had 50 farbeen un.
der normal. Prices closed heavy IN to
3A net lower with June S1.37 and July
$1.39N to $1.4O.
Oats reflected the weakness Of corn.
Some export buying was noted but the
amounts were small. Opening prices
which ranged from u to 1Zc lower
with July 6GN. were followed by ad-
ditional losses and then little upturn.
Declines in the hog market carried
down provisions. Demand lacked vol
ume. ~
The market continued to weaken in
the later dealings, especially pork.
