Gen. Wa Pei-fu, upon receiving telegraphic news reporting the artest of Mr. Lo Wen-kan, Minister of Finance, immediately despatched a telegram io Prendent Li Yuan-hung requesting him to organize a Political Court of Justice in order that the matter should be gone into very thoroughly.
On the other hand, declares Gen Wu, it is necessary that. a. strict investigation should be made into the activities of the new Tientsin led by Gen, Tsao Jui (younger brother of Marshal Tsao Kun) and Wu Ching-lien (Speaker of the House of Representatives), who are alleged to be plotting and conspiring with a view to influence ing the presidential elections in order that a certain person' might be elected as Chief Executive.
Gen. Wu is reported as stating that he has no objection to the Tientsin party supporting Marshal Tsao Kun for the presidency, but he thinks that such an election is premature and would only be working into the hands of other parties. He has no objection to the election of Marshal Tuan Chi-jui but he does object to the reinstatement of such of Tuan's followers as Wu Kuang-hsin "and such other rascals' who attempt to raise funds from all sides just as in a reckless gambling game.
No matter how Paoting views his stand, Gen. Wu declares that he will oppose the activities of the. Tientsin party to the very end in order that they may be foiled in their sinister purpose.
