PEOPLES FARLEY
IN CHINA Limited
Premier Says Government
Will Not Accept Idea Of
Superseding Body.

PEKING, August % (by the Asso-
ciated Pess).-Premier Chin Yum
Peng. ADDRESSING newspaper corre-
spondents at cabinet headquarters to-
day. said that any peoples assembly
called by the present government
would be limited in scope to elect
ing a new parliament. The gov.
eminent will not accept the idea of
"a superseding body, such as is being
discussed in the press, for which
there is no precedent except after the
revolution. and which would not be
representative and without legal
status. he declared.
States Legitimate Object.
The premier said that the idea of a
peoples assembly launched by Gen.
WI Pei-Fu, chief of
the government troops in Human
province, had been elaborated through
discussion far beyond his proposal.
The only legitimate object of such
an assembly. according to the pre-
mier. would be the framing of con-
present one. which will be abandoned
because of it's imperfections The
question of summoning new parlia-
ment, now under discussion, has the
premier'S sanction.
Peace with the southern government
since the elimina ton of the obstacle
to unifcation (the anfuites). the
premier asserted. and the proclamat ton
of unification was only awaiting the
determination of practical means to
give it effect. While the agreement
leaves the Yunnan group unappeased.
Premier Chin expressed the belief that
Yunnan would accept the proposals.
Reduction of Army Proposed.
The premier said the government s
monthly receipts were $4,000 900 and its
expenditures $4,000. 900, which he pro-
posed to square by the reduction Of
the army and encouragement Of indus
tries. The disbandment already eff
fected has resulted in a saving OF
100000 monthly.
Premier Chin told the correspondents
he proposed to encourage self-govern-
ment in the provinces, education and
also the exercise Of care in the selec-
ton of competent incumbents for gov
eminent Offices

oao-ouliding programs Of the states
wiz suffer serious setback unless ac-
.ioh Is taken during the current fiscal
year for federal aid in road building
according to Thomas H Macdonald,
ohlel OF the bureau of public roads, De-
partment of Agriculture.
IN discussing the need of federal ar
uon this year Mr. Macdonald nointed
out that the last installments Of federa
ao funds, namely. s100, 600, 600 became
available July 1, 1920. When to this is
ADDED at least an equal amount of
state funds, as required by law if states
are 70 secure federal aid, funds will be
available sufficient to carry the road
construction program forward for the
current year. But Mr.. Macdonald saws
mat the states should know at least a
year IN advance what funds are to be
avaiiabie, in order that plans can be
made for future construction
The last apportionment of federal
| 1unds to aid the states in road con
struction under the existing federal
ala act became available July l." said
Mr. Macdonald. This is the largest
apportlonment yet certified under the
aeo aon Az. aid act. amounting, to s1o0,-
ooo.ooO: three-quarters of which is de-
rived from the appropriation of 1919
and $25,000,000 from the original ap-
preparation Of 1916. A deduction of
$S.OuO, 900. or per cent of the funds
VIII De made to provide for the ex-
pense of administering the federal
aid act by the Department of Agricul-
ture. The balance of $97, 000,0 900 will
be divided among the states in pro-
portion to their population, area and
! mileage of post roads.
sUnder the law the states are re-
quired to enter into formal agree
| ments with the Secretary of Agricul-
| ture for the construction upon which
| this money is to be used before July
1. 1922. Any money which is not taken
up before that time will be reappor-
toned among all the states in the
same manner in which the original
appointments are made. All pre-
vious appointments have been taken
up in the time allotted, and it is not
| likely that the states will fail to alb
sorb this last apportionment- To do
so, however, will mean that the states
must survey, plan. and let contracts
for at least $500, 100000 worth of federal
aid road construction in the next two
years.

MRS. LONG NOTABLE SUCCESS
AS AN OFFICIAL HOSTESS

| Mrs. Long has done her duty nooiy
as an official hostess, with a long line
| OF brilliant entertainments to her
credit. her Sunday afternoons have
been quite a feature Of the last few
seasons, and even when she herself
has been out of town tshe has been
generous about lending her house for
benefits either for causes in which
she was interested, or which some of
her particular friends had at heart.
As wife Of one of the j, assistant
secretaries OF State, she has had a
life Of the Wilson regime, which has
been rather. noticeable for the social
brilliancy given by the wives OF six
or eight OF the. assistant secretaries
Of the various departments. Possibly
like many others. with whom the
salary cuts no ice and does not begin
to pay the bills, the Longs will find
that they have got the Washing ton
habit, and will stay on even after
they have ceased to be official They
would probably have ceased to be official
on March 4 in any event. so, after all,
Mr.. Longs defeat is OF less i'm
portance to us here than IL might

There seems to be no probability of
the Hardings settling down at their
home in Wyoming Avenue this winter.
Apparently about all they'll do up
there will be to get packed up for
their big move early next March since
1t is generally understood that Mr..
Harding does not expect to sit again
in the Senate. He has arranged a

Underwood. tsn't it?-until the newly

takes command when he intends to
resign his seat OIL the understanding

part of the Legislative. branch Of the

which, as the executive, he will have
to see enforced. The situation would
have been unique and not without
