Marshal Tuan Meanwhile Work ing Out a Satisfactory Plan:
Mukden Tuchun's Work Tientsin, Nov. 14.
In the course of his interview with Reuter's correspondent, Gen, Chang Haueb-liang said that the present intention was to allow the provisional Government in king to carry on until a national policy had been evolved. A Preident would then be elected. He hoped that the presence of Dr. Sun Yat-sen would materially aid in finding a solution of the problems of the nation and in determining th status of the provinces and their relations to the Central Government, but in that connexion father, Marshal Chang Tso-lin, was confident that Marshal Tuan' Chi-Jul would work out a satisfactory task of defeat Tsao Kun and Marshal Wu Pei-fu was practically jeompleted. Gen. Chang considered the ex-President a "bad lot," but spoke generously of Marshal Wu's ability and character, which, he suid, demanded respect, whereas his intolerant attitude towards subordinate generals had reaped its reward—disloyalty.
Questioned regarding the alleged fed" sympathies of the Peking provisional Government, Gen, Chang id that he did not think that that. mattered, as it was only a tempora ary phase with which Marshal Tuan would be able to. deal effective He was confident that the outlook was hopeful, but he realized the enormous task before Marshal Tuan, in the performance of which, Gen. Chang said, he could count on Marshal Chang Tso-lin's wholehearted support.
Marshal Chang, his son declared, did not intend of give anyone an opportunity to say that he had derived personal advantage from war. He now merely wanted to see the reunification plans complet ed, after which Marshal Tuan would given a certain number of troops and would go to Peking, Marshal Chang taking the remainder back to Manchuria, where they would be kept well in' hand while he endeavoured further to improve the condition of the Manchurian people.
