The proposal to appoint Chang Hsun as Inspector-General of the Yangtze provinces did not materialize, because of the strong opposition by the people. Why should our Government want to appoint him Director-General of Forestry and Agriculture in Manchuria today, asks the "Sinwanpao?" Chang Hsun, being a soldier by profession, is certainly not possessed of the least experience in these two industries, forestry and agriculture. Besides, Chang is a traitor.to our Republic. He has been shown sufficient leniency already by being granted a special pardon and left alone in peace. What is our Government's object in placing Chang Hsun in the same province with Chang Tso-lin? Does it not know that the two Changs are reported to be plotting some coup together? As the Government has to humour the King of Manchuria in every way to-day, it will one day regret ruefully its decision to add wings to the tiger.
