The only remnants of the old
Kuomintang landowning interests
in the cabinet are the ministers
Of education, interior and commu-
nications. All three are old-line
Kuomintang politicians who have
held important posts in the Ma
tionalist Party since 1885.
According to Americans on the
island. the reactionary member
of this trio is Cheng Tien-fang,
81. the minister of education.
Strangely enough, he also is
American-trained and holds an
MA. from Illinois and a Ph.D.
from the University Of Toronto.
However. Cheng and the other
two Kuomintang conservatives
hold only minority positions in
the cabinet. They can be out
voted any time by the more pro-
gressive majority members.
