Peking, Jan. 30.
It will be remembered that, at the time of the election of the Ministers of the Cabinet by the Senate, the rejection of Mr. Peng Yun-yi as Minister of Education was expected but that he was elected by a narrow margin, largely owing to the Parliamentary desire to show that they would not be brow beaten by student agitation.
Mr. Peng has now resigned but a Presidential mandate refuses to accept his resignation.
Mr. Chiang Yung, Director of the Law and Jurisprudence. Bureau, also resigned, protesting against the illegal re-arrest of Mr. Lo Wen-His resignation also has not accepted.
The Staff of the High Court of the Special Judicial District have also protested against the second detention of Mr. Lo, stating that it may prejudice the movement for the abolition of extraterritoriality.—Reuter.
