Peiping Finds Its New Status as Singul 'No Longer Capital of Chi ar as Its Latest Name na, and Reduced. to Provincial Center, Imperial City Tries to Reconcile Itself Pelplng--®elping (Peking) is hav- ing difficulty in adjusting itgelf to the {dea that it is no longer the capi-' tal of China, but is merely one of several large cities which are centers of special administrative areas und- der the Nationalist Government. Yet the first Nationalist leaders who have entered the city insist that the ar- rangement Is permanent, and it will not again have any great political im- portance. Chihese who have lived hera under the Manfhvs and during the early days of the Republic greet this no- tion with somewhat amused incredul- ousness. "For a time, the National ists may keep thelr capital at Nan- king," they declare. "But sooner or later they must come back, as all others have done for 800 years." These observers point to the city's vast government buildings, its great hotels' and Chinese Inns, its guild centers, representing every province in China, its dozens of schools, its sheltered Legation Quarter. "Nan- king has none of these things," they argue. "How can a central govern- mént be maintained in a city where to New Rolé though the ministers were mere pup- pets of successive warlords, have been promptly given over to -new purposes. The Ministry of Finance has become the headquarters of the district Kuomintang, or people's com- mittee, the Ministry of War serves as the residence of the Defense Com- missioner, the Foreign Ministry as the headquarters of the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs. The old Parlia- ment building and various of the Manchu palaces/ are being used for new and perhaps less dignified pur- pose. Such "elder statesmen" as Tong Shdo-yi 'and Tan Yen-kal insist that Dr. Sun Yat-sen was thoroughly jnsti- fied in his contention that a people's government can never he establish- ed in the monarchical atmosphere of this city.
