New Schemes for Raising the Wind: Ministers to be Dismissed By Rodney Gilbert, Peking, April 22.
The Tientsin Conference has terminated in the understanding that Tsao Kun and Chin Yun-peng agree with Chang Tso-lin that the Chiaotung Ministers Yeh Kung-cho and Chou Tze-chi are useleg's as providers of national funds and that they must, therefore, be eliminated to make room for more efficient agents, Chen Yun-peng wished to appoint Chang Chi-tan Minister of Communications, but, Chang Tso-lin objecting, Wang Nai-ping was chosen as successor to Yeh Kung-cho to which Chin Yun-peng agreed.
Pan Fu will, presumably, be Minister for Finance and Chang Hua Minister for Commerce pledging themselves to raise $30,000,000 for administrative expenses.

Tsao Kun's approval of these schemes is interpreted as evidence that he is promised the presidency or vice-presidency.
