The financial aspects of the pro blem are equally intricate. Marshal Feng Vu-hsiang has no financial resources. He is in. poor country pends upon the rapidity with which Nanking can raise funds enough to support his army as well as Nankking's. Thus fa: tion of the new Nanking Government, the financial assistance to Marshal Feng has been smaller than to Hankow, that is, to General Pei Chung-hsi, and it is not at all certain that Nanking can fill the reputedly bottomless purse of the Kuominchun, The larger Marshal Feng's army, the more funds he will demand of Nanking and unless some consolidation can be effected between Nanking, Hankow and Canton, it is not likely that" Nan-King will be able to satisfy all his demands, which are reputed: at present fo amount to approximately. $2,000,000 a month.

It ig understood that the pro-Communist faction have not altogether been silenced and they are striving to undermine the present controlling group. General Tan Yen-kai is at the moment the responsible head of the Nanking Government as he wa of the preceding Government. Mr, Chang Ching-kiang, who has usually been "the pivotal factor of any Government with which General Chiang Kai-shek was associated, seems to have lost in importance and although it was reported wat he was returning to Nanking, his resignation from the Standing Committee, which controls the Gov. ernment, may be accepted if he is}, very insistent, Considerable antagonism is developing within the Kuomintang over the appointment of Mr. Huang Fu, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, because it is insisted that he is not a member of the Kuomintang and therefore cannot be a member of the Government. It is understood, however, that a group of party Neaders, headed by Mr. Li Chi-tseng, insist upon his appointment: and that it will go through and that he will be inaugurated as. Minister this week.

Wu a six months! eave of absence with the under-strinding that no substantive minister would be appointed while he was travelling.
