New Central Chinese

"Government"

Nature of Administration Present Difficulties Peiping, Oct. 6.

There is little likelihood of the Japanese-occupied parts of China having a new central government by October 10, the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Republic, according to well-informed Chinese political quarters here, It is learned that Mr. Wang Ching-wel, the "Provisional Government" in North China, and the "Reformed Government in Nanking are still. far from agreement in regard to the composition and nature of the proposed administration.

This lack of unity is stated to be causing the Japanese so xiety. The mouthpiece of the Japanese Army here announces that the leaders of the "Provisional" and "Reformed Governments" will see Mr. Wang Ching-wei again soon to discuss the establishment of a new regime, it is understood that the "Provisional Government, while willing to accept the authority of the government planned by Mr. Wang, insists. on retaining its separate entity and its authority north of the Yellow River.—Reuter.
