The Trend Towards Unity and Prospects of Effective Government: Ministers Endowed with Power Mr, Hu Hamming, when interviewed by a representative of the North-China Dany Newsy" dis-fonssed the present political situation as follows; "During the Northern Exped tion, there was only the necessity of victory and many sacrifices were made to secure it. Therefore, the tendency towards localism developed within the Nationalist Government.
This tendency, in some respects, was necessity, "for the Nationalist Government had enough task win the war and could not provide adequate and effective govere=

ut men. who have peep known Dresentatives of various pacts hee, Gite clay ssu Jin together these. conferences. Ina word, are seeking. unity in both party und government and we shall have achieve it, Tt is my belief that tre have begun to achieve it."
The Question of Authority we aake, "The main past seven months has been that tanking during

The Processions Abroad But, Mr. Hu," we questioned, chy is ft that every time a new group Comes into power, the old group has to leave the country? This exiling of Chinese leaders creates surprise and confusion and the foreigner loses confidence your methods."
"In a fully. stabilized country, it fs possible for men of different opinions." Mr. Hu replied, "to work together or to oppose each other without creating confusion, In a revolutionary country like China oF a post-revolutionary country like Italy or Turkey, there is no room for opposition within the Government itself or in the defiberative organs. For then the squabble continues indefinitely over more bstyaction" and the work of Government is not done. it is wiser, then, Cor the irreconcilable opponents to go away for a time and perhaps when they come back, they are not so irreconcilable. At any rate, the central group in the Government must not contain destructive force. This was wise and necessary. But now, the youth movement must be utilized as a constructive agency. It is difficult tochsnnel youth inthe right direc. tion, but it must be done, if we can' produce a good and effective! Government, which produces satisfactory results, - ameliorates the condition of the people and is a source of pride rather than a burden to the nation, the intelligent! youth of the country will find many constructive outlets for their energy.
