On Sunday morning other members of the Cabinet waited on the President. asking for an explanation. They pointed oft that a Cabinet }minister could not legally be sum~ unarily arrested on a police court warrant. Dr, Wellington Koo pointed out that such procedure would render all members of the Cabinet Jiable to seminary arrest at the instance of their political opponents. Mr. Kao En-hung, Minister of Communications, and Mr. Sun Tan-lin, Minister of the Interior, strong ly condemned the action contending that it was illegal and that the \Speaker and Vice-Speaker should be arrested as they had used the Parliamentary seal' without the authority of Parliament for the furtherance of personal and political ends. On the other hand Mr, Kao Ling-wei, the Minister of Commerce, supported the President saying that the charges should be legally in~ vestigated and that, if proved, Mr. Lo Wen-kan_ should be severely punished. The President—suggested that. he personally should visit Mr. Lo Wen-kan and order his release. This was communicated to Mr. Lo Wen-kan who refused his liberty, saying that he intended remain in prison until his case had been fully cleared up. Later it was decided to hand over Mr. Lo Wen-kan to the Department of Justice. Hearing this report: upwards of twenty members of Pavlia~ ment visited the President urging, ineffectually, that this should not be done. During the afternoon the Procurator issued a subpoena for the Speaker and Vice-Speaker to appear as witnesses against Mr. Lo Wen-kan.
