CHANG TAKES
DICTATORSHIP
AT CEREMONY
Authority Held in Fact Long
Before Formal AS
sumption.
BY RANDALL GOULD
United Press star CORRESPONDENT

PEKIN, Aug. 18.-"Generalis-
simo" Chang Tso-lin, having swal-
lowed the Pekin political canary,
feet and feathers, after long daily
ing, has announced a program of
general reorganization to include
both Government and Northern
armies.
Change change of status is more
apparent than real. For several
months he has operated both mill
tary and government matters from
his yamen in the West City, and in
taking the title of "ta yuan sui"
which means dictator" in effect, he
simply makes convenient spring.
board from which to hop off into
more sweeping changes.
Funny as volstead
In other words, he has held suf-
ficient power previously to bring
this semi-comic election" by his
subordinates, together with his cere-
monial Inauguration at the presi-
Dental palace on a day and hour
picked by ancient soothsayers in
solemn fee-fi-fo-fum congress as
sembled. A curious blend of the old
and new, this affair; a former bandit
out in gaudy -aiment to enact, in
the midst Of q maze OF machine
guns and beheading swords, the
form of assuming a dictatorship in
hall dedicated to republican gov
eminent.
OF course the American and other
foreign Ministers could not lend
their presence to such an affair,
since to do this would imply recog-
milton their home governments are
not prepared to authorize; but they
we're all very glad to drop in at the
Foreign Office an hour later for
tea party at which the newly in
stalled and much pleased general
issimo arrived, with pomp, in an
American built motor car bearing a
machine gun in place of spotlight.
Eliminating the melodrama,
Chang's latest move boils down to
an assumption of full responsibility
both civil and military. Previously
he has had the military response
bility, though in less direct form,
and has dominated the political STA
uation without having direct re-
sponsibility.
Plans. Reorganization
The Northern armies, formerly
rather loose confederation, are now
to be known simply as the Ankuo-
chun or Peace-of the Country Army
without division into Shantung,
Fengtien and other forces as here
tofore. The government is to be re-
organized, or rather organized, into
some semblance Of reality.
Among the ambitious projects to
be undertaken by this new Chinese
Mussolini are: Encouragement of
industry, establishment of harmony
between capital and labor, revision
of the military system together with
some consolidation, leveling of class
distinction, establishment Of an
examination system for'~the choice
Of officials and revision of the Cabi-
net.
Moreover, a new Nationalist party
pledged to certain of the more hrm-
less Southern Nationalist doctrines
is to be organized with strict pro-
yiso against the communist faint.
Foreign observers in Picking regard
the whole development with, for the
most part, hope mingled with skep-
ticism. Business interests in par
ticular would like to see Chang
make his move success but fear
that the latest change may prove
to be form without substance.
