He has personally visited the districts and by an almost spectacular decision has effected a change of government by alr. In Szechuen, General Liu Hsiang has impressed his personality on the Generalissimo and is, apparently well accord with further changes' that province. Genaral Chiang Kalshek is endeavouring to-inculcate the old venerated principles of public service and the people welcome his personal attention to their needs.
