Interest in Peking Over What Will Happen: Ministries Practically Closed: Posts Reported Coming South Peking, June 14
There is much interest here, especially among Chinese, regarding. the question whether the capital will be transferred to Nanking, which would result in many Govern: ment secretaries and others losing their positions and in a great depreciation of the value of property in, Peking.
It is understood that the mini of Finance and some other mi tries are practically closed.
It seems to be taken for granted in foreign. circles that, whatever might be the decision of the Nation~ alist Government, the Powers would wait for a considerable time, pro-ably for years, to see whether the new Government is stable nnd lasting before even seriously considering moving their Legations from Peking.—Reuter,
