AMERICA A MODEL
FOR new CHINA
Gen. WI Pei-Fu Comes Out
For Federal Republic
LEADERS INDoRsE PLAN
Picking Would Be Central Capital,
With Local Autonomy For Prov
inces-Five Provinces In
Line. :

Peking-General WI Pei-Fu, dom
lnant figure of Northern China, in
dorsed the recent suggestion of Gen.
Chen Chiung-Ming, outstanding leader
of the South, that federal system
be adopted for reunited China, pat
termed after the United States of
America. General WI suggested tina,
the reorganized republic be known as
''The United States of China"
The majority of the provinces al
ready have signified their approval OF
the proposal to reunite the country un-
der federal government at Peking,
with each province enjoying rights
similar to those accorded the separate
States of the American Union, Gen
eral WI said.
The quiet little man who drove the
Manchurian war lord, Chang Tso-Lin,
in rout from the gates of Picking and
recalled to Office the Constitutional
President, Ii Yuan-Hung, declared
that sentiment is growing in favor of
the United China program with Amer
lean ideals as it's guiding star
He said he had received kilograms
from the peoples leaders in Yunnan,
Human, Kweichow, Szechuan, Kwang-
tung and other provinces promising
their support of the plan.
WI asserted that we had no hesita-
ton in predicting that as China
Travelled the road of progress she
would be found copying, and putting
into practice Americas ideals to an
extent not reached by any other coun-
try.
In the south, WI said, where Sun
Yat-Sen's followers had been accus-
toned to western methods, the new
leader there, Chen Chung Ming, who
recently drove Sun from Canton, was
a particularly strong supporter of the
Americanized- China program.
WI Pei-Fu pointed out that while
a central Government should be main
tanned at Picking, the great distances
that separated the boundaries of the
country made it imperative that the
provinces should be permitted a meas
ure of local autonomy similar to that
possessed by the several states of the
American union.
This question of provincial auton-
Omy should be settled at the next ses-
sion of the revived Republican parlia-
ment, which is expected to obtain a
quorum for meeting in Peking by
August /.
Support for the proposal that China
adopt Western ideas is said to be
strong in Picking, owing to the pres
ence there of many Chinese officials
who have been educated in America.
In their following are many minor
officials who gained their education in
the United States by means of the
Boxer indemnity funds returned to
China by the Washington Government.
