Northerner's Project to Make It a Concurrent Capital Nanking, July 29.
To Mr. Chang Chih, once chi man of the defunct Peking Division of the Central Political Council belongs the credit of advancing the novel idea of making Peking a Meoncurrent capital" of China.
According to Mr. Chang, the removal of the nation's capital from Peking to Nanking has seriously fected not only the commercial and terial prosperity of the former capital, bat also to a large extent its cultural and educational ascend-continues Mr. Chang, ince to move the capital back to Peking is out of the question, we must find some way of remedying the situation by making Peking a concurrent capital of the country) so that the prosperity and wellbeing of the former capital could be regained to the benefit of the people there, Such a scheme is not at all impossible and not without historical precedence; for in the Sung Dynasty there were the Eastern and the Western Capitals' and later in the Ming Dynasty there were the Northern and the Southern capitals."—Ta Chung.
