Peking, Sept. 25.
The Jocal Chinese press has made strenuous efforts these past few days to read great political significance into the recent Cabinet reorganization which gives Dr. Wang Chung-hui the substantive post of Premier. that have been..made the news agencies particularly have tried to find evidence of a struggle between Wu Pei-fu and Tsao Kun. If the, changes in personnel which have been made have any political significance they would seem to indicate that Wu ')Pei-fu has gained a slightly larger voice in Peking's affairs than Tsao Kun, but Cabinet members say that the press is making too much of the supposed political significance of the reorganization and is overlooking the much more obvious fact that the Cabinet was simply reshaping itself so as to present a more united front to the problem of the Autumn Festival settlements. rideed, several Cavinet members have stated that they have not had time to think about or to discuss, either as individuals or as a group, either politics or policies.
They are all concerned with the problem of raising money before October 5 and are imbued with the conviction that if they fail to make ends meet on that date, their new organization will automatically dissolve. If there was any idea of pleasing this or that militarist when the new appointments were made, it was more with a view to dealing on amicable terms with those making the big demands for money than with any idea of adopting the policies of this or that war lord that the changes were mandated. Five or six millions must be available to the Cabinet before the 8th Moon Festival and until the ministers know whether they have succeeded or failed in raising this sum, politics will be decidedly in abeyance.
