Nanking Declines Request of Mopei Council Peiping, May 21.
The recommendation of the Law Codification Commission of the Lionel and Charhar Political Council for the establishment of a branch Supreme Court in Peiping is not likely to be accepted by the Ministry of Justice in Nanking.
'A Nanking dispatch to the Tientsin "Ta Kung Pao" quotes an official of the Ministry as saying that, as the highest tribunal in the land, the functions of the Supreme Court should be centralized. There need, he declares, for a branch supreme court in Peiping, or in any other part of the country.—Reuter.
