Wu out, Fo out

From the cabinet of the Nanking "Nationalist Government" there resigned, last week, two leading statesmen: 1)--Foreign Minister Dr. C. C. Wu, who represented South China at the Paris Peace Conference; and 2) Finance Minister Sun Fo, son of the late "sainted" Dr. Sun Yat-sen who founded the Nationalist movement.

Dr. Wu declared that he resigned because of "a sense of regret at my inability to accomplish anything." The opinion was general that if so great a statesman cannot work with his recent colleagues there will have to be a general reshuffle of the Cabinet when the Nationalist Party Congress shortly convenes in Nanking.
