Peking, Jan. 12.

Yen was presiding over the remnants of Chin un-peng's moribund Cabinet, it was offi announced that a portion of proceeds of the prospective increase in the Customs revenue would be devoted to the reformation of the judiciary in anticipation of the eventual abolition of extraterritoriality. in a more recent interview given to a group of press corres pondents Mr. Liang Shih-si, the new Premier, made a similar announcement which was ssiemnly wired to the four quarters of the globe. Omitting all comment upon this statement for the moment, the writer would like to call attention to the state of affairs at Nanyuan, the site of largo barracks and of the aviation school, a few miles south of Peking—a state of affairs coincidental with these announcements of reforms in the administra-cion of justice.
