Messrs: Chu Shen, Tsen Ya-chin and Li Shihou, Ministers of Tustice,. Communications—and Finance, respectively, presented themselves before the President on Tuesday morning, and made a complaint against Premier Chin Yun-peng to the following effect. When Premier Chin was on leave, they had all called on him trying to "persuade him to remain office, but in vain. Yet immediate ly upon the receipt of a telegram from Tsao Kun and Chang Tso-lin, he terminated his leave. Such an attitude was manifestly antagonistic to his colleagues in the Cabinet: while showing partiality in favour of the provincial governors.
Since Premier Chin held political morals in such a slight regard and the friendship of his colleagues in such contempt, they, the three Ministers, felt it a disgrace to associate themselves any longer with him; and they were constrained to send in their resignations forthwith. They hoped the President would understand their position and pardon them for having to take up such a line of action.
The. same afternoon the three Ministers above-mentioned sent their written resignation formally to the Cabinet.
